**Gatling version** : 3.12.0  
**Gatling flavor** : scala  
**Gatling build tool** : maven  
I am using the latest Gatling version and because the Engine class is gone where we could add the class name which we would like to run.  
Now as I understand we need to pass mvnw.cmd gatling:test in the command line and then need to select the simulation by number if multiple simulations exist as in below screenshot

Just wondering is there a way to configure the simulation so that it can be run directly without typing into command line.

Something here, so by clicking on run button, it should run directly

I tried to configure it as below but it shows error. How to overcome this error? Any help would be appreciated

Please check the [documentation of our maven plugin](https://docs.gatling.io/reference/integrations/build-tools/maven-plugin/#running-your-simulations).
