still struggling with cookies...

[Stef Joosten]

I want to use a cookie from my session in my scenario. For this purpose I get the cookie (using `getCookieValue`) and use it further down the line as `session(PHPSESSID)`.

Here is a fragment of my scenario.

```

.pause(2)

.exec(getCookieValue(CookieKey("PHPSESSID")))

.exec { session =>

http("Fill Userid/Password")

.patch("/api/v1/resource/SESSION/1")

// .headers(headers_sessID)

.body(StringBody(""" [{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")+"""/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")+"""/Userid",

"value":"peter"

},

{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")`

+"""/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")+"""/Password",

"value":"stupidpassword"

},

{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")+"""/Login/"""+session("PHPSESSID")+"""/Login/property",

"value":true

}] """)).asJson

session}

.pause(2)

```

My problem is that this does not work. the step "Fill Userid/Password" is not being executed.

Maybe that is because it is a function?

However, If I do not define the exec step as a function, it cannot find `session("PHPSESSID")` because `session` is not defined.

I'd get grateful for a good explanation that drives me toward a solution.

I found an answer, but it does not use the solution suggested by the Gatling documentation, which is `exec(getCookieValue(CookieKey("PHPSESSID")))`.

So it is not really satisfactory, but it works...  Here is the code fragment that works:

```

.pause(2)

.exec(

http("Display the login screen")

.get("/api/v1/resource/SESSION/1/Login")

.check(jsonPath("$._id_").find.saveAs("sessId"))

)

.pause(2)

.exec (

http("Fill Userid/Password")

.patch("/api/v1/resource/SESSION/1")

.body(StringBody(""" [{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/${sessId}/Login/${sessId}/Userid",

"value":"peter"

},

{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/${sessId}/Login/${sessId}/Password",

"value":"stupidpassword"

},

{ "op":"replace",

"path":"/Login/${sessId}/Login/${sessId}/Login/property",

"value":true

}] """)).asJson

)

.pause(2)

```

So here I did not get the session id from the cookie PHPSESSID, but I got it from filtering it out from a response message in the step "Display the login screen".

Thank you, Stéphane. I tried your solution because it looks like "the right way to do things". However, I got back the following results:

```

With the solution that works for me (see above in the mail trail), I get the expected results, which are:

The only difference is the change you are suggesting.

Although it seems the right thing to do, somehow it skips the step "Fill Userid/Password". As a consequence, the login procedure fails and all subsequent steps fail. Can you explain this? If you want I can make this reproducible for you.
