Dear all forumers, I had a login request which is https protocol. How to code it? I had search online but found nothing. Hope someone can help.

Gatling version: 3.11.5
Gatling flavor: java
Gatling build tool: maven

From the scripting pov, the only difference between HTTP and HTTPS is an s in the scheme.
I don’t understand how and why you’re struggling.
Please share what you’ve done and how you’re struggling.

Dear forumers, I had coded the folling task.

public class orangehrm extends Simulation{

    // Add the HttpProtocolBuilder:
    HttpProtocolBuilder httpProtocol =
            http.baseUrl("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login")
                    .acceptHeader("application/json")
                    .contentTypeHeader("application/json");


    // Add the ScenarioBuilder:
    ScenarioBuilder homepageScenario = scenario("Homepage Street Testing Scenario")
            .exec(http("Homepage Request").get("/"));


    {
        setUp(
                homepageScenario.injectOpen(constantUsersPerSec(100000).during(3600))
        ).protocols(httpProtocol);
    }
}

As you can see from the website, the login request is essential to all subsequent request.

Task:

  1. Test https login request
  2. Use the https login request cookie for subsequent request

Please help me. I’m totlly newbie here.

So I guess you have no idea how your login works, correct?
Are you a student? Don’t you have somebody to train you?

In this case, I recommend that you learn the basics of HTTP and then use the developper tools in your browser (Network tab) to figure out how your authentication actually works. Is it a simple form POST that returns a cookies? It is something more complex like OAuth?

You can also try our Recorder.

I understand how https POST method works but I don;t know how to translate it into Gatling code. I don’t know how to download Gatling recorder (What is the link to download Gatling recorder).

I assume that you were watching Naveen’s tutorial on Gatling script.
Let me clarify on some points first:

  • Do you know the concept of an API yet ?
  • Are you familiar with Postman yet ?

Let me know so that I can help you further in approaching Gatling.

I know API.
I familiar with postman.

Then, check the basic components of Postman such as Header, request body, then follow this doc

to create a full request.
It is advised to use gatling-java.
