concatenating static and dynamic(parameters) value into one string

In the session I need to go from

`

val str = "7080001237547" + "1104" + "7080001237547" + "2015-02-04 12:23:55" + "SOMESITE" + "0032014142" + "2" + "hJSaGFx5M7"

`

You want to iterate ${member} from feeder.

what you can do is start your feeder file in exec and feed it with session attribute

eg:

.feed(containsMember) .exec(session => val str =

Ok, but how will
session(member).as[String]

know how to get values from the feeder?
Shouldn’t it be more like
`

session("${member}").as[String]

`

?

Could you please help me with how to exactly implement this given this code chunck (which does not work):

`

val scn = scenario("checkXXXSimulation")

   .feed(csv("data/medlemmer2.csv").random)

   .exec{session =>
   val md = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1")
   val str = "7080001237545" + "1104" + "7080001237545" + "2015-02-04 12:23:55" + "SITE" + session("${member}").as[String] + "2" + "hJSaGEx5M9"
   val ha = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(md.digest(str.getBytes))
   val mac = ha.substring(0, ha.length() / 2 )
   session.set("mac", mac)
   }

`

First - “${member}” is interpolation for getting session variable (member) into your exec chainbuilder.

Second - You said that you want to use a feeder that will provide member information. Thats why in example i wrote

.feed(containsMember)// this csv file contains member value. .exec…`

`

If you already have member information in “data/medlemmer2.csv”`` then following should work

Notice I removed “${ }” around member.

 val str = "7080001237545" + "1104" + "7080001237545" + "2015-02-04 12:23:55" + "SITE" + session("member").as[String] + "2" + "hJSaGEx5M9"

Thanks, it works smooth now!

Do I need to close the session, as in ‘session.close’? Or does Gatling take care of that?

just make sure either session.set or session is the last statement/expression in your session function.
