Hi, I’ve set the environnement var **GATLING\_HOME** to my intelliJ workspace root directory, so as to say, _C:\dev\ProjetsIntelliJ\benchsTrunk_ All my simulations (scala classes that “extends Simulation”) are/will be located in the _src/test/scala/\*_.scala directory. I Tryed to customize the **gatling.conf** this way, so as to gatling could find the simulations : _directory {_ _#data = src/test/resources/data_ _#requestBodies = src/test/resources/request-bodies_ _#simulations = src/test/scala_ _#reportsOnly = “”_ _#binaries = “”_ _#results = results_ _}_ When I run the Engine, the debug console logs this : _Connected to the target VM, address: ‘127.0.0.1:50763’, transport: ‘socket’_ _There is no simulation script. Please check that your scripts are in user-files/simulations_ _Disconnected from the target VM, address: ‘127.0.0.1:50763’, transport: ‘socket’_ _Process finished with exit code 0_ What do I miss in the process, please? ---

You’d better use the maven archetype and generate a ready-to-go IDE integrated project. ---

Sincerely I tryed to use a maven archetype… Could you please repost the archetype to use for gatling 2.0.3 in an IDE, please? Thank you very much. ---

The procedure is documented here: [http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/extensions/maven\_archetype.html](http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/extensions/maven_archetype.html) And the archetype is properly deployed on maven central: [http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cgatling-highcharts-maven-archetype](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cgatling-highcharts-maven-archetype) What else? ---

I tried this procedure, but It never fully worked for me (for the 2.0.0 maven i allways get build error before the end) … I certainly do something the wrong way… But my workspace is the same as described [http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/extensions/maven\_archetype.html](http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/extensions/maven_archetype.html) I got it right with the 2.0.0M3, and then upgraded gatling to 2.0.3 thank you for your answers. ---

Old 2M3 archetype and artifacts were deployed on a private repository. Now, everything is on maven central, so you don’t need additional repositories. > for the 2.0.0 maven i always get build error before the end Which is? Are you sure you don’t have a broken download so you end up with a corrupted archetype in your local maven repository? ---

Also, which version of maven do you use? ---

Indeed I think my archetype is incorrect, I don’t see any other explanation. I actually use maven 3.2.3 ---

It seems the most likely explanation, yes. I just ran it on my machine and everything went fine.
