Hello,
When the server respond with http status 500, the Global information still shows it is OK. which also incorrectly the response time. is there a way to specify what http status to be count as OK or not?
I am using the latest Versions.
Please provide your simulation.log file.
Hello @ygGatling,
http("name").get("/")
.check(status().is(200));
By default, Gatling have a list of valid statuses and 500 is not in this list.
References:
Thank you both for the quick response. @sbrevet, Yes I added the check, saved it in a variable and I can see the server is returning Http status 500 but the Global Information shows everything is OK.

I tried to upload the simulation but i don’t think *.log or *.zip is supported to be attached. but if it helps, here is the content

No idea what you’re doing, but I really doubt there’s any issue with Gatling. You’re probably running a different test that the one you’re editing.
i really appreciate your willing to help, do you need more information to give you an idea where the problem might be? I added the request and response log here as well - with some omission, which shows that I am getting Http status 500. and i am sure i am running the correct test

There’s no way to help if you don’t provide a reproducer, as explained here: How to Ask a Question
@ygGatling as I understand from your response you do a
check(status().is(500))
If yes, here you have mistake because in Gatling if you provide status in check the default behavior (set as KO) is override so HTTP 500 is mark as OK.
Thank you for the reply, I didn’t put a check to check status code earlier, I was just saving it in a variable and save it in a csv. I was thinking Gatling will handle it by itself. But I updated the code now to check for status code. The same us yours except it checks for 200, now the KO count is displayed correctly.
So as I suspected, the code you were executing was not the one you were editing.
