rawFileBody and rawFileBodies

[Raghav Pal]

I am using latest Gatling 3.7.3 (open source)

I am trying to create a POST request and need to get the json body (payload) from a file

val scn = scenario("Post API Demo")

  .exec(
    http("Create User")
      .post("/users")
      .asJson
      .header("content-type", "application/json")
      .body(rawFileBodies("./data/createuserdata.json")).asJson

As per the documentation we can use rawFileBody function, but it is not available instead we have rawFileBodies, how to use it and what will be the best way to get request body from file

[Bharath Marrivada]

Try the following

.body(RawFileBody("ccp/ccpupload/send_request.json"))

I am using Java 17, Gatling 3.7.3, IntelliJ, Windows. Following is the sample code.

http("Create User")
.post("/users")

.header("content-type", "application/json")

.body(RawFileBody("ccp/data/createuserdata.json.json"))

In short :

1. The documentation states RawFileBody with a capital R.

3. The documentation states to use a classpath path, not a relative filesystem path

RawFileBody("data/createuserdata.json")

Thanks a lot for the help Bharath and Stéphane.

The issue was indeed the use of capital R, it would have been great if it shows the options in auto-suggestion list

Other thing is, I was able to run with relative path as shown below

.body(RawFileBody("data/createuserdata.json"))

Here, data folder is under src/test/resources, hope can help others

Making things clear: no, "data/createuserdata.json" is not a relative path on the filesystem.

This is a Java classpath location. And the classpath separator is always "/" whatever the OS, even on Windows.
