Gatling websocket api: can't receive byte response from websocket server in wsListen method

[Hardik Patel]

Hi,

 Is anyone able to get byte response from websocket api on gatling using wsListen method?

 I am doing this:

.exec(ws("acceptable_messages")

.sendBytes(Array[Byte](1.toByte, 0.toByte, 0.toByte, ))

)

        .exec(ws("Message Check").check(wsAwait.within(10 seconds).until(1).regex("ACK").saveAs("name"))) 

.check(

wsListen

.within(10 seconds)

.until(1)

                        .regex("ACK")

                        .saveAs("name")

                  )

)

       .pause(10)

       .exec(ws("Close WS").close)

  When server sends text message, this code can store name in session but if byte array is sent, this does nothing.

Thank and Regards

I am using gatling 2.2.3

I am having the exact same issue in that I can't grab a binary WebSocket response using the Gatling DSL. If you turn your logback.xml log level from "Warn" to "Debug", you will get this nice message when you attempt to check a WebSocket call which returns a binary message: "Beware, byte message checks are currently not supported" (WsActor.scala line 177 in the Gatling source).

Only 2 options: 1) hope the Gatling devs implement such support, or 2) implement support and create pull request.

Best,

Hey,

I also want to check binary response from the server. But I didn't find a solution.

Does someone find a solution to check it?

I also found this:

case OnByteMessage(message, time) =>
	logger.debug(s"Received byte message on websocket '$wsName':$message. Beware, byte message checks are currently not supported")

So I think it's not possible... Does someone find a solution to check it?
