How to pass runtime variable (datetime) in scala?

[pmour...@gmail.com]

import java.util.Calendar

val timestamp = Calendar.getInstance.getTime   \\ I have defined the timestamp variable

Following my request which i wanted to pass the runtime datetime value.

.exec(http("request_6")
.post("/abcd/projects")
.headers(headers_29)
.formParam("Id", "5")
.formParam("extra", """{"inputproname":"+timestamp+","textareadesc":""")) \\ passing the same timestamp here

Scala script has been successfully executed but it created as name with << +timestamp+ >> instead of actual timestamp value

So can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong here? how to pass the time timestamp variable ???

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You need to open/close triple quotes, not single quotes, around the variable name.

"""blah""" + foo + """lalala"""

Everything inside triple quotes is considered to be a literal string.

Alternatively, use string interpolation:

scala> val foo = 42
foo: Int = 42

scala> s"""{"foo":$foo}"""
res0: String = {"foo":42}

(note the 's'.) Rex is absolutely right about the effects of
triple-quotes, also.

PS: You might also consider a JSON lib. It should handle things like
escaping quotes inside variables like 'foo' or 'timestamp' and lots of
other gotchas.
