Hi,

Strange problem when trying to store value in my session and retrieve it in exec block behind. Here a sample :

exec(

> session =\> {  
> val toto = “totototototo”  
> session.set(“cookieval”, toto)  
> }

)

exec(  
session =\> {  
println(session)  
session  
}  
)

when printing my session variable, nothing about my cookieval attribute… Anything missing ?

Every DSL element in Gatling is a builder. Therefore, nothing happens unless everything is chained properly and given to Gatling’s setUp.

You are missing a dot before the second exec.

Cheers!
