Adding an .authorizationHeader as value/pair?

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

My request Works from Firefox RESTClient. See screenshot. The request needs a token called X-Token with value 1234asdf.
`

Request example:

— request —

GET https://ua.gaylord.us/user/profile HTTP/1.1

Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

X-Token: 1234asdf

Host: ua.gaylord.nus

— response body —

{

“resultCode”: “SUCCESS”,

“errorCode”: null,

“errorMessage”: null,

“profile”: {

“fullName”: “TestFirstName TestMiddleName TestLastName”,

“memberships”: [ {

“name”: “UA Gold Partner”,

“number”: “123-456-123-123”,

“scanNumber”: “123-456-123-123”

}]

}

}

`
However, in Gatling I try this:

val httpConf = http .baseURL([https://us.gaylord.us](https://us.gaylord.us)) .acceptEncodingHeader("""gzip,deflate""") .authorizationHeader("""X-Token:1234asdf""") val scn = scenario("Scenario")

And get the same error as I get when removing the token from Firefox RESTCleient:

`

{"resultCode":"PERMANENT_ERROR","errorCode":"UNEXPECTED_SERVER_ERROR","errorMessage":"Missing header 'X-Token' for method parameter type [java.lang.String]"}

`

My questions is:

How do I add a token in Gatling as I do in Firefox RESTClient? I guess I need to spesify name=X-Toekn and value 1234asdf ? But what is the syntax?

Cheers,

Magnus

Well…
Authorization is not a concept here, it’s the name of a HTTP header: Authorization.

So what you’re doing here is sending:
Authorization: X-Token:1234asdf

What you want here is to set a specific header named “X-Token”, so that would be:
.header(“X-Token”, “1234asdf”)

Ok,
But when I do that I get the error in IntelliJ that .header connot be resolved. Se screendump.
Do I need to import something?

Thanx!

Ha sorry, that’s baseHeaders: http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.0-RC5/http/http_protocol.html?highlight=httpprotocol#http-headers

There’s room for improvement here. Working on it: https://github.com/gatling/gatling/issues/2237

Ok thanks.
Then I need to upgrde my Gatling Version right. When this fix is shipped?

My pom states now:

<gatling.version>2.0.0-RC4</gatling.version>
<gatling-highcharts.version>2.0.0-RC4</gatling-highcharts.version>

No, you can use existing “baseHeaders”. Just that it will be deprecated in RC6 in favor of “headers” and will be removed in 2.1 (several months away).

Ok, but
.baseHeaders(“X-Token”, “1234asdf”)
does not work.
see the screenshot.

As the doc pointer I previously sent states, baseHeaders takes a Map.

baseHeaders(Map(“X-Token” → “1234asdf”))

Great, thank you! I was not certain how to state “a map”.
Works now.

We do our best to progressively add more examples for people who are not familiar with Scala syntax…
