Guidance on running gatling using sbt plugin

[Cris]

Gatling version: 3.12.0
Gatling flavor: java kotlin scala javascript typescript
Gatling build tool: maven gradle sbt bundle npm

Hello,
I downloaded the gatling sbt plugin demo and I am trying to run the example via sbt but for some reason the gatling simulations don’t seem to run and it is stuck on the execute test job:

sbt Gatling/test                                                     
[info] welcome to sbt 1.10.1 (Oracle Corporation Java 21.0.2)

I tried sbt Gatling/testOnly computerdatabase.BasicSimulation, different java versions with the same outcome.
I get the same behavior on my own project using sbt 1.10.2.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

I found what I was, and I’m posting it here in case anyone has a similar issue. It was the network access protection from the endpoint protection that caused this. Disabling that while running these tests (on Mac System settings → Network) fixed the issue.
