Right now, I know I can do something like this:
`
class Foo extends Simulation {
setUp( a, b, c )
}
`
Where ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ are scenarios and injection profiles. But can I do something like this (think of this as pseudo-code)
`
class Bar extends Simulation {
val list = []
list.push( a )
list.push( b )
list.push( c )
setUp( list )
}
`
Thanks!
Yes. setUp can take an array/vararg or a List: https://github.com/gatling/gatling/blob/master/gatling-core/src/main/scala/io/gatling/core/scenario/Simulation.scala#L44-L46
Perfect. That’s what I needed, the type of variable to declare it as. Thank you!
Would you mind sharing a final implementation of how to use the setUp method with a list as input?
I am doing something similar but get a compilation error when I try to use a List of type PopulationBuilder.
My code looks roughly like this:
class MySimulation extends Simulation {
// httpConf definition with baseURL, headers, etc
// helper methods and values to drive selection logic
// discrete object definitions (each object contains a certain type of re-usable request)
/* example object
object Scenario1 {
val scenario1 = exec( http(“request_3”)
.get(“/computers/6”))
.pause(3)
.exec(http(“request_4”)
.get(“/”))
.pause(2)
}
*/
// group scenarios into formal Scenario groups/collections
val scnReads = scenario(“Reads”).exec( Scenario1.scenario1, Scenario2.scenario2 )
val scnWrites = scenario(“Writes”).exec( Scenario.scenario3 )
val scnMixed = scenario(“Mixed”).exec( Scenario1.scenario1, Scenario2.scenario2, Scenario3.scenario3 )
// function
// purpose = create a list of scenarios to be consumed by the setUp method
def buildLlist() : List[PopulationBuilder] = {
val list = List()
if (// doing writes only) {
// create list with Posts only
}
else if ( // doing reads only) {
// create list with Gets only
}
else {
// create list with Gets and Posts
}
return final list
}setUp( buildList().inject( atOnceUsers(10)))
.protocols( httpConf )
}
When I run my code, I get an error like this>

You have a typo.
Then, you also need to import the class.
Typo is fixed (missing "l" in PopulationBuilder class. I also enabled the import statement (it had been commented out).
However I’m still getting a compile error regarding this class. Has the syntax changed for Gatling 2.1.5?
error looks like this>

This class has been renamed to PopulationBuilder in Gatling 2.2, but in Gatling 2.1.X, it’s named PopulatedScenarioBuilder.
But then, as this type is only used for a return type, you could omit it and let type inference do the job.
Mystery solved! Thanks.
I like this approach. It helped me simplify my code. Thank you.
I got it working in a Gist and am quite pleased with the results.
