Guys,

I am trying to upload a pdf through Gatling test.

**My configuration :**

```auto
val fileName: Expression[String] = "/Users/FormVat51Sample.pdf"
val post = h.post(pageUrl).headers(multiform_platformHeaders)
  .check(noValidationErrors)
  .check(saveFormSession)
  .check(saveVersion)
  .check(notOnLoginScreen)
  .formParamMap(params)
  .asMultipartForm
  .bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart("file", fileName).contentType("application/pdf").fileName("FormVat51Sample.pdf").transferEncoding("binary"))

```

**The Exception I am getting at the server side:**

‘org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile’ for property ‘multipartFile’; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile] for property ‘multipartFile’: no matching editors or conversion strategy found]

Please respond.

Thanks  
Babu
