Hi All ,
Hi have created gatling framework to verify performance .
I am stuck at one point .
I want to upload xml file for post request .
I am not able to upload file.
I have tried following multiple approaches .
1.bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart(“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”))
2.formUpload(“Burp”, “./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”)
3.body(RawFileBody(filePath = “./src/test/resources/Data/” + “Burp.xml”)).asMultipartForm
4.formUpload(“Burp.xml”, “./src/test/resources/Data/”)
5.bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart(“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”).contentType(“multipart/form-data”).fileName(“Burp.xml”))
6.bodyPart(StringBodyPart(“Burp.xml”, “./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”).contentType(“multipart/form-data”).fileName(“bugcrowd.xml”))
7.bodyPart(StringBodyPart(“Burp.xml”,“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”))
8.body(RawFileBody(“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”))
9.bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart(“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”, “./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”).fileName(“./src/test/resources/Data/Burp.xml”)
.transferEncoding(“binary”)).asMultipartForm

Still I am getting 500 error
I want to achieve following that I have achieved in post

Hi @Tejas,

What an impressive list of tests :clap:

Did you try to express that the body part is of XML content type?

Something like:

    ChainBuilder postFile = exec(
            http("Send file").post("/api/file-upload")
                    .bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart("Data/Burp.xml").contentType("application/xml"))
                    .asMultipartForm()
    );

Note:

  • In a “multipart” form, each part should have its own content-type.
  • Avoid file path relative to your project architecture (when compiled as jar, your simulation won’t find the path, as src/test/resources is directly at the root of the built jar)
  • Did you succeed to upload via curl? (I’m not sure what postman does under the hood)
  • “500” is “Internal Server Error” => not very useful. As you are pretty sure the request is faulty, it should response with “400 Bad Request”

Hope it helps!
Cheers!

Cheers!

@slandelle Hello ,
I am using following version
<gatling.version>3.6.1</gatling.version>
<gatling-maven-plugin.version>3.1.2</gatling-maven-plugin.version>

This version is very outdated. There’s a very good chance that your issue has been fixed since then.
Please upgrade to:

<gatling.version>3.9.5</gatling.version>
<gatling-maven-plugin.version>4.3.7</gatling-maven-plugin.version>

Make sure to check the official demo project for maven + Scala.

If you still experience an issue after upgrading, please provide a reproducer so we can investigate, see How to Ask a Question.
