No plugin found for prefix 'gatling' in the current project

Gatling version: 4.7.0 (must be up to date)
Gatling flavor: java
Gatling build tool: maven

When I am trying to run my tests in the command line / terminal, I am getting below errors : No plugin found for prefix ‘gatling’ in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.sonarsource.scanner.maven, org.apache.maven.plugins, org.cod
ehaus.mojo] available from the repositories

Please could someone help with this issue.

[ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'gatling' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.sonarsource.scanner.maven, org.apache.maven.plugins, org.cod
ehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (C:\Users\DattaJ\.m2\repository)]

Can you share with me also your pom file?

Hi @Jayasri,

Did it work before? What changed? (I guess the usage of maven reactor project to create test submodule)

Gatling version: 4.7.0 (must be up to date)

There is no 4.7.0 version for gatling app, latest is 3.11.5.
For gatling-maven-plugin, the latest version is 4.9.6, you should upgrade.

How did you configure the gatling-maven-plugin?

Did you try our sample project (just to ensure there is no issue with package download)?

Cheers!

You’re most likely running in a corporate network where you are forced to use your corporate maven repository (Sonatype Nexus or JFrog Artifactory) but the gatling-maven-plugin is missing there.
