Hello everybody, I have a question a have a page that I cannot pass through. Step\_01 = work I get what need Step\_02 = here the .params are probably not working because the id’s are dynamically generated (that’s why i thought maybe a .findAll would help) Step\_03 = step three i need a 302 and to be redirected Step\_04 = step four should not give a any problems if I am passed through but that does not work Step\_05 = on step five I have to use the regex, because every redirect keeps giving 200’s back from the first step. I someone could help me with solving this problem I would really appreciate it. I have the feeling I am close but yet so far! Thank you ---

.formParam(“${username}”, “”“John”“”) .formParam(“${password}”, “”“Secret”“”) Really? Form fields names are dynamic and have to be captured from the page? > check([status.is](http://status.is/)(302))) // Gives a 200 because by this point I have been redirected to Step\_01 (But needs to give 302) Here I want to be redirected By default, Gatling follows redirects, and checks are applied on landing page, so you’ll never see the 302 ---

It might prove difficult if you don't set some kind of flag so you can easily find the field, such as a fixed id, or a specific style class. Anyway, you can try your luck with regex or css (css selectors). Just being curious, which framework does this website use? The only framework I'm aware of that does this crazy thing is Lift. IIRC, with Lift, there's a way to disable this but it kills performance. > I thought the best thing was to go up to the div which does not change and > then look for the div it's input? > Thats why i thought of using findAll? No. Use a css selector then. ---

I’m using 2.2.1 and haven’t disabled follow redirect. One of my request is automatically getting redirected and the other not. I’ve posted below the HTTP request, response & relevant code snippet.
