Hi,

Does anyone know if it possible to just print some text without doing a call to a api or check at the end of the script?

val onlyPrintLnCall: ChainBuilder =  
.exec(  
http(“test call”)  
.exec(println(“Just print something”))  
)

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, this helps a lot. The only thing is that my question was not visible until now.
