How to pass base64 encoded variable value into .Json file

[Raj007]

Hello,

I’m getting “400” error response from Post request while passing base64 encoded variable value to .json file. Below is code snippet.

val encodedMessage = Base64.getEncoder.encode(sourceCodeBytes)
val base64Msg = new String(encodedMessage)

In post request:
.body(ElFIileBody(“apipackage1/recordedsimulationapi/0000_request.json”))

In 0000_request.json file:
{“messages”:[{“data”:“#{base64Msg}”,“attributes”:{“GaSell”: “CTY.DK”,“contentMsgId”:“1”}}]}

Can anyone pls help on this issue.

Appreciate your quick response.

Thanks.

You have to prepare the encoded String upfront with the Session API. Please read the documentation.

I tried it as per the documentation. May be i’s wrong. I’m completely new to Gatling.

Can you pls send code snippet for how to prepare the encoded String upfront with the Session API.
