Config included below, but basically what I want to do is:

- define a chain of two requests, the second depending on the first

- have users keep executing that chain for some period of time

I created a chain with two “exec” calls, and then wrapped that in a “during”. The first exec (“get\_code”) is getting run the number of times I’d expect (for the config below, about 1000 times over 40s), but the second one (“exchange\_code”) seems to happen around (but not always exactly) once for each user (in my last run, it happened 11 times; in a run with 60 users, it will get called ~60 times).

Just getting started with Gatling. Am I missing something obvious? Or does this not work the way I’m expecting it to?

This is using v1.5.3

Thanks,  
John.

class Auth2SimpleSimulation extends Simulation {

val durationSeconds = 30

val httpConf = httpConfig  
.baseURL(“[https://example.com](https://example.com)”)  
.disableFollowRedirect

val urlFormPostHeaders = Map(  
“Content-Type” → “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”)

val chain =  
exec(  
http(“get\_code”)  
.post("/rest/v2/auth/code")  
.headers(urlFormPostHeaders)  
.param(“gameId”, “loadtest”)  
.param(“provider”, “anonymous”)  
.check(status.is(200))  
.check(jsonPath(“code”).find.saveAs(“auth\_code”)))  
.exec(  
http(“exchange\_code”)  
.post("/rest/v2/auth/token")  
.headers(urlFormPostHeaders)  
.basicAuth(“test”, “test”)  
.param(“grantType”, “authorization\_code”)  
.param(“code”, “${auth\_code}”)  
.check(status.is(200)))

val scn = scenario(“Basic Login”)  
.during(durationSeconds) {  
chain  
}  
setUp(scn.users(10).ramp(10).protocolConfig(httpConf))  
}

Of course, right after I post I think to enable logging and see this:

> Bypassing cached Request ‘exchange\_code’: Scenario ‘Basic Auth2 Login’, UserId #8

Adding .disableCaching to my httpConf solved the problem.

Cool. I was about to ask you to check this point.
