Hello,

In my attempt to modularize the scenarios, trying to define custom feeder as an object and then call it another object file, which is not working.

and calling that as

package AllTests  
import scala.concurrent.duration.\_

import io.gatling.core.Predef.\_  
import io.gatling.http.Predef.\_  
import io.gatling.jdbc.Predef.\_

import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom  
import customFeeder.\_

object Listings {

val listings = exec(http(“Listings”)  
.get("/listing")  
.check(status.is(400)))

.exec(http(“Listings1”)  
.get("/listing")  
.queryParam(“endTime”,_=\>randomEndTime(55000000))  
.queryParam(“startTime”,_=\>randomStartTime(50000))

Getting compilation error. Would appreciate on how to get this done.

\customFeeder.scala:15: missing arguments for method random  
tartTime in object customFeeder;  
follow this method with `\_’ if you want to treat it as a partially applied func  
ion  
23:27:07.606 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - Map(“randomStartTime” → rando  
StartTime,

Modified the customeFeeder and tried to call that in the object in another scala file, but still getting an error. Attaching modified feeder object file and also snippet of object calling this feeder.

package OvpAPIs  
import scala.concurrent.duration.\_

import io.gatling.core.Predef.\_  
import io.gatling.http.Predef.\_  
import io.gatling.jdbc.Predef.\_

import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom  
import timestampFeeder.\_

object Listings {  
feed(timestampFeeder)  
val listings = exec(http(“Listings”)  
.get(“/listing”)  
.check(status.is(400)))

.exec(http(“Listings1”)  
.get(“/listing”)  
.queryParam(“endTime”,randomEndTime)  
.queryParam(“startTime”,randomStartTime)

Getting Following Errors:

not found: value randomEndTime  
.queryParam(“endTime”,randomEndTime)  
type mismatch;  
found : OvpAPIs.timestampFeeder.type  
required: io.gatling.core.feeder.FeederBuilder[\_]

12:25:42.224 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - four errors found

Any help is appreciated.
