Hi,

So I’ve been trying to create a basic gatling test case and have been running into runtime erros.

so here are the two cases I’ve been attempting to run:

class CurrencySimulation extends Simulation{  
def run(): Unit = {  
val scn = scenario(“Simulation name”).repeat(10) {  
exec(  
http(session =\> “Request description”)  
.get(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”) // full link to tested endpoint  
.check(status is 500) // successful status  
)  
}  
setUp(scn.inject(atOnceUsers(1)))

}

In this case I am getting a nullpointerexception where the get() is returning a null.

class CurrencySimulation extends Simulation{  
def run(): Unit = {  
val x = 5  
val httpProtocol = http.baseURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”)  
val scn = scenario(“Simulation name”).repeat(10) {  
exec(  
http(session =\> “Request description”)  
.get("/") // full link to tested endpoint  
.check(status is 500) // successful status  
)  
}  
setUp(scn.inject(atOnceUsers(1))).protocols(httpProtocol)  
}  
}

this situation fails before it even gets to the scenariobuilder fails before it even gets to the ScenarioBuilder, as the httpProtocol returns a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

If I could get an idea as to what I am doing wrong with these scripts it would be extremely helpful.

Thank you
