I tried to write Gatling code in intellij, but I found there is no syntax tip when I write any object. When I tried to format the code with import optimization, I found the gatling related import disappeared. When I run it from command line, I just find the syntax error. There is not any indicator in IDE. Does anyone know how to let IDE work for syntax auto completion for Gatling? Thanks! ---

Did you use [Gatling’s maven archetype](https://gatling.io/docs/current/extensions/maven_archetype/) to create the project at first? That might help a bit. ---

Thanks for your reply. I have applied Gatling maven archtype to my project. But it seemed no help on my requirement. I don’t want to run the gatling in eclipse or intellij, just want to develop the script with auto completion since I am not familiar with gatling syntax. Thanks! ---

Thanks for your instruction. I have applied scala sdk into my project. But it only can prompt the scala syntax for me. on gatling specific syntax, i still can’t get tip as below image. After the “http” object, there should be “baseUrl” or “header”, etc. But there are only scala syntax in the list.

I guess there might be something wrong with your intellij importing/opening the gatling project. In the “Project” view you should see lots of libraries from maven and the default directories setup of gatling archetype(src/test/resources & src/test/scala).

Many thanks, I have solved the issue. After “mvn package” under the project, the packages were downloaded and worked well. Thanks again! ---
