I have a request that accepts text in the body a combination of lots of text and the date. When using gatling how do I parameterize the date, so that I can use feeders to keep posting with a new date
I am not sure I understand you correctly, but what I do is the following. First I use:
.exec(session => {
val currentDatetime = Calendar.getInstance()
val sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(“yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS”)
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(“Europe/Amsterdam”))
session.set(“variable_name”, sdf.format(currentDatetime.getTime))
})
After that you can use the date time as variable. You can also add the virtual user id to make it even more unique.
