Hi Team,
I’m new to Gatling I’m doing a POC, and a situation i need to convert the HTML response value to Plain text. Any EL or custom function on Gatling to handle the situation like on JMeter or LoadRunner.
LR provide web_convert_param(“ParameterName”,“SourceEncoding=HTML”,“TargetEncoding=PLAIN”, LAST );
and JMeter provide ${__unescapeHtml(${ParameterName})}
JMeter’s __unescapeHtml just boils down to https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringEscapeUtils.java#L625-L627
You could ship this library and write your own custom function, eg:
exec { session =>
val escaped = session(“param”).as[String]
val unescaped = StringEscapeUtils.unescapteHtml4(escaped)
session.set(“param”, escaped)
}
That’s also something we could consider implementing in a future version if there’s enough demand for it.
