I am a new in Scala and got some problems with casting from String to Long. I try to get Gatling session value as Long in request. Before in exec() part, I try to set the userId value
def setUserId(): ChainBuilder = {
exec(session => session
.set("userId", Random.nextLong())
)
}
Next, in request creator I want to use it like that because I need a new userId every call:
object UserRequestCreator {
def sampleUserRequest(currency: String): Request = {
Data data = new Data()
data.setUserId("${userId}".toLong)
data.setCurrency(currency)
}
}
Test scenario:
exec(setUserId())
.exec(http("postUser")
.post(endpointUser).asXml
.headers(headers)
.body(StringBody(toXmlString(sampleUserRequest("EUR"), classOf[Request])))
.check(status.is(200))
but receive error:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${userId}"
How to fix that in Scala? I also try Long.valueOf, JLong.parseLong("${userId"}, 16), Try(BigDecimal(...)) and more but nothing can help. I think the problem is with $ symbol, but I don't see any different way to get this value from the session. Maybe it is possible to store Long in the Gating session?
