[WARN] i.g.h.a.AsyncHandlerActor - Request 'DisplayLogin' failed: regex(Log On).find(0).exists, found nothing

hi,
when i run parallel users i got this error in the any first check regex for example: .check(regex(“Log On”).exists)

what is the reason and how i fix it ?
2

i think i know why it is happening: something in the cash is not clear so i am automatically enter to the page in the second iteration and up.
how do i clear all on every cycle?
i have tried all of those but not helped:

exec(flushHttpCache)

If you want a close model and trick the tool to recycle virtual users (improper model from other tools) you have to clean the cookies too.

4

okay but how? i didn’t see any function for it in gatling

You can .disableCaching globally

Something like:

`
val httpProtocol = http
.baseURL(“http://myComp.myApp.org”)
.disableCaching

`

``

i already did disablecashing

Can you share your simulation and html response?

this is the main code concept:
as i understand, i need something that clear the cash/cookies at all for evert iteration.
for now, instead of the the DisplayLoginPage i got directly the page after it.
something like redirect automatically even i do disableredirect that works for one user but not parallel.

import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.http.Predef._
import scala.concurrent.duration

class saml2login extends Simulation{

  var randomNumber = 1000
  var randomUser = ""

  val durationSeconds = 1
  var userNumber = 0

  val httpConf = http
    .acceptEncodingHeader("gzip,deflate,sdch")
    .acceptHeader("text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8")
    .connection("keep-alive")
    .disableCaching
    .disableAutoReferer

  val RequestToSpJavaUi = {
    http("RequestToSpJavaUi").get("/spc/")
      .disableFollowRedirect
      .check(status.is(302))
     .check(header("Location").find.saveAs("redirectURL"))
 }

  val DisplayLogin = {
    http("DisplayLogin").get("${redirectURL}")
      .check(regex("Log On").exists)
      .check(regex("Remember me").exists)
  }

  val AuthenticateUser = {
      http("AuthenticateUser").post("${redirectURL}")
      .check(regex("You have now been authenticated").exists)
}
  
  val scn = scenario("FullCycle")
   .repeat(2) {
    exec(flushHttpCache)
    .pause(3)
    .exec(RequestToSpJavaUi)
      .pause(3)
      .exec(DisplayLogin)
      .exec(AuthenticateUser)
  }
  
    setUp(
      scn.inject (
        atOnceUsers(1)
    ).protocols(httpConf)
    )
}

I sais clear, not disable. Please search the documentation’s HTTP section.

Thanks all, everything is working now perfect.
Conclusion: using flushSessionCookies or flushCookieJar solved the problem.
It is so great that we can have such a developer tool like GATLING that enable us to debug and run like any other code.
yes, it is deferent than doing it by UI and xml files.
Thanks for Gatling
