Which version do you use?  
What do key and value look like?

I’m using 2.0.3, and I’m having same issue:

```auto
.exec(addCookie(Cookie("stdo", f3188321-a82d-42ea-80e5-b0f57ff6e9fb")))

```

```auto
.exec(
  http("Request 1")
    .post(s"${theUrl}/api/")

```

```auto
)

```

The request doesn’t have the cookie I’m adding.

Well, I didn’t tell you the whole history. I’m not using Gatling directly, I’m using the SBT Gatling plugin, and I’m not able to use the latest version of Gatling/plugin, given that all of the projects we are working on, use Scala 2.10, and we found issues when trying to use the latest version of the plugin with Scala 2.10 ([https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gatling/pSrJTs-ohQU](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gatling/pSrJTs-ohQU)).

So, we have to stick to Gatling 2.0.3, which has been working great so far, until this point, where I don’t know why the cookie is not set.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Except if you have strong dependencies to some internal libraries, you’d better move the Gatling stuff to a dedicated project/module where classpaths don’t clash. I’m 100% sure the issue you’re facing is fixed in 2.1.

Otherwise, sadly, as an open source project, we can’t afford maintaining many concurrent versions.

Moving our simulations into a dedicated project contradicts the main reason why we are using the plugin: we want to be able of manage and do version control of our perforamnce test assets in conjunction with the code base; Anyway, I understand what you’re saying about the open source project.

Thanks for your help, and for answering so fast.

Cheers.

You could perfectly have a submodule in your project that uses a different Scala version.

I had the same issue which I managed to fix by specifying a maxAge on the the cookie :

`  
val scn = scenario(“TicketSimulation”)  
.exec(addCookie(Cookie(key, value).withMaxAge(Int.MaxValue)))  
.exec(http(“ticket\_get”).get(“some url”))

`

I also had to specify baseUrl on the http protocol. Should work if you specify the domain on cookie as well.
