Gatling check status saveAs function doesn't work with multiple status check

I am trying to check the HTTP status and save the status code in a variable, but in Gatling, if I add multiple status checks as follows.

.asJson().check(status().saveAs(RESPONSE_HTTP_STATUS_CODE), status().is(HttpStatus.SC_ACCEPTED)

saveAs function doesn't invoke and RESPONSE_HTTP_STATUS_CODE is always null.

What is the issue here?

Please refer to the following MVP to reproduce the issue.

Solution

  • The behavior you're observing is completely expected.

    You're using exitHereIfFailed and exitBlockOnFail in several places in your scenario. When a request is failing, they cause the piece of code you're looking at to be bypassed.
