Post Request in gatling having issues

val jsonString =
“”"
{“name” : “jj”,
“displayName” : “jj”,
}
“”"

val tCreate = exec(http(“Create API”)
.post("/xyz/tpqr")
.headers(myheader)
.body(StringBody(jsonString)).asJSON
.check(status.is(201)))

}

Question : .body(StringBody(jsonString)).asJSON is this the right way to pass the JSON Body?
( I literally tried other posibilities like RawFileBody, EfileBody and not able to get desired output)

I am using gatling with Scala. Earlier Scala version was 2.12, after looking at some forums like StackOverflow, I downgraded the Scala version to 2.10 (through Project Structure ->SDK or Global Libraries) and still getting issues. Anyone able to do a POST successfully in Gatling and Scala, if yes, could you share what is the Gatling version, what’s Scala version, and how are you passing the body to post?

val jsonString =
“”"
{“name” : “jj”,
“displayName” : “jj”,
}
“”"

val tCreate = exec(http(“Create API”)
.post(“/xyz/tpqr”)
.headers(myheader)
.body(StringBody(jsonString)).asJSON
.check(status.is(201)))

}

Which Java version are you using? If you’re not already on JDK8, I’d try getting that, and see if anything changes.

The scala versions you’ve listed having tried all require JDK8 (or less), so if you’re running 9 or higher, that’s likely the cause of your frustrations. The error you’re getting looks a lot to me like something that would happen due to incompatibilities between scala and java.

  • Gatling 2 doesn’t support Java 9+, only Gatling 3 does.

  • Don’t mess up with Scala version. Gatling 2.3 and above requires Scala 2.12.

I am on latest Java version 1.8

Thanks Stephane for answering.

  • Java 8 Update 191 (64 bit)

  • In the Maven (.m2 folder) I have Gatling 2.2.4 and 2.3.0

  • Scala - Now only 2.12 version is there in Global Libraries, removed 2.10 now

Still same error

This error happens because you’re mixing artifacts for different Scala versions.

Run mvn:dependencyTree and fix your pom.xml.
