Hello All,
As part of application i correlated CSRF token. I passed it in the login request.
**Correlation:**
check(regex("""\_csrf" value="([^"]\*)"""")
.saveAs(“Corrcsrf”))
I passed those value like this : .formParam("\_csrf", “${Corrcsrf}”)
When i execute, I got 403 forbidden error. Then i checked the log, I was surprised to see values were not replaced instead strings are replaced.
body:FormUrlEncodedRequestBody{contentType=‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’, charset=UTF-8, content=\_csrf=%24%7BCorrcsrf%7D&username=RESUNDA&pingRefId=true&pingResume=%24%7Bpingresume%7D%2Fresume%2Fas%2Fauthorization.ping&instance=default&password=123123}
Can anyone please suggest me.
Regards
Rekha S

Hello,
Please follow the [requirements listed here](https://community.gatling.io/t/how-to-ask-a-question/6538).
You don’t say that you have checked you’re using the latest version, if you’re using the Java or the Scala DSL, etc. As is, it’s impossible to help you.

Weird, I don’t think gatling is compatible with scala 3.

You didn’t tell if you use the Java or the Scala DSL (as we manage both now).
Did you try with the `"#{Corrcsrf}"` syntax? (See [Gatling Expression Language](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/core/session/el/)), because `$` is deprecated.

Have you messed up the imports?
You **MUST** have the [same imports as in our documentation](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/tutorials/quickstart/#gatling-scenario-explained):
```nohighlight
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.http.Predef._
```
Typically, don’t let IntelliJ “optimize” your imports and actually break things.

Hello sbrevet,
I changed the scala version to 2.13. I changed to “#{Corrcsrf}” still no luck.

Yes I am using the same lib whatever you mentioned. (not allowing IDE to optimize)

I am using scala DSL

Here’s what I did:
- `git clone https://github.com/gatling/gatling-maven-plugin-demo-scala.git`
- uncommented `TRACE` logger in `logback-test.xml`
- changed `BasicSimulation` to:
```auto
package computerdatabase
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.http.Predef._
import scala.concurrent.duration._
class BasicSimulation extends Simulation {
val httpProtocol = http
.baseUrl("http://computer-database.gatling.io") // Here is the root for all relative URLs
.acceptHeader("text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8") // Here are the common headers
.acceptEncodingHeader("gzip, deflate")
.acceptLanguageHeader("en-US,en;q=0.5")
.userAgentHeader("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0")
val scn = scenario("Scenario Name")
.exec(session => session.set("foo", "bar"))
.exec(http("request_10")
.post("/computers")
.formParam("""name""", """#{foo}""") // EXPECT bar
.formParam("""introduced""", """2012-05-30""")
.formParam("""discontinued""", """""")
.formParam("""company""", """37"""))
setUp(scn.inject(atOnceUsers(1)).protocols(httpProtocol))
}
```
- ran `mvn clean gatling:test`
- observed that the substitution was properly triggered in the logs:
```auto
body:FormUrlEncodedRequestBody{contentType='application/x-www-form-urlencoded', charset=UTF-8, content=name=bar&introduced=2012-05-30&discontinued=&company=37}
```
So as far as I can tell, everything works as expected. As I already request in this thread, please provide a reproducer.

I deleted the simulation and recreated freshly because in IDE, scala 3.X version was configured. When I recreated, I could change to scala 2.X. It is mainly because of scala version.
Now it is working fine 🙂
