I want to configure the base url used in the simulations based on the environment I’m running the test against.

Is there a way to pass additional information to the gatling.sh file (such as environment) and read that information from the simulation file so that I can decide on the base url using that?

Please have a look at the “Passing Parameters” in the documentation’s Cookbook section.
