Token Refresh

Gatling (Open-Source)
#1

Hi All, I am new to Gatling and scala. I am trying to execute a scenario for 2 hours and after 1 hour I am getting a 401 as my token goes expired.

Is it a way to check the token is active or is there any way forward? appreciated your help for this.

thanks

Hi,

You can do the following:

  1. Add check to the response which returns 401 eventually, something like this:
    .check(status.saveAs(“lastResponseStatus”)
  2. .doIf(session => session(“lastResponseStatus”).as[Int] == 401)
    {
    // authenticate again
    }

Thank you for the reply. I did manage to create the function. But I want to execute the authentication method once in 1 hour when my scenario is executing say 5 hours. I dont want to kill my token server [which is shared with plenty of apps]. Can I execute the method authenticate only once. My method is like this…

Thanks in Advance!!

You could proactively refresh your token before it expires, the same way you’ve loaded it in the first place.

Yes. Sorry for the late reply. Recently I have managed to find a solution for this. We can add the token into

def setToken: Expression[Session] = session => {
val accessToken = gettoken();
session.set(“token”,setToken)
}

Once we have this, we can add this into a loop.

If also synchronize this call, it wont be kill the token generator. Hope this helps
