I am not referring to this class from my code. I am assuming it would be referred by one of the libraries I am using… I can see GatlingOptionParser class does not exist in latest version. Can you tell why and where is it still referred ?

You’re most likely mixing Gatling libraries with different versions. You should be using 3.11.3 for all the Gatling libraries in your classpath.

Note: karate-gatling is not supported here. Please use genuine Gatling for load testing as the performance of this third party is really suboptimal.
