Passing Bearer token through variable using Gatling

Question

I am learning the Gatling tool and stuck in developing scenarios for Secure Http API calls. I have created a scenario in which I am able to get the bearer token and save it in the variable(Token), but the variable(Token) is not passing its value in the authorization header.

Here's my code pleaser review it,

The value of the token variable is not getting by the following code line, .authorizationHeader(s"Bearer $token")

class SampleToken2 extends Simulation {




  //Token define
  
  private var token: String = ""
  
  val auth = scenario("Retrieve Token")
    .exec(
      http("POST Auth Req")
        .post("http://iserver:9092/login")
        .body(ElFileBody("bodies/inventalogin.json")).asJson
        .check(bodyString.saveAs("Auth_Response"))
        .check(status.is(200))
        .check(jsonPath("$.token").find.saveAs("accesskey")))
    .exec{session => { token = session("accesskey").as[String]
      session}}
  

  

  //Header Define  
  
  val httpConf = http
    .baseUrl("http://iaserver:9092")
    .authorizationHeader(s"Bearer $token")
    .acceptHeader("application/json, */*")
    .acceptCharsetHeader("UTF-8") // Here are the common headers
    .doNotTrackHeader("1")
    .acceptLanguageHeader("en-UK,en;q=0.5")
    .acceptEncodingHeader("gzip, deflate")
    .userAgentHeader("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0")
    .shareConnections
    .proxy(Proxy("localhost", 8888).httpsPort(8888))


    def  myTestObjectMethod = {
      exec { session => println("token print2"); session }
      exec { session => println(token:String); session }
      exec(http("Get all devices with pagination")
        .get("/devices/getAllDevices?page=0&size=200")
        .check(status.in(200 to 210)))
        .pause(1, 20)
    }



  val scn = scenario("my_actual_load_test").exec(myTestObjectMethod)



  setUp(
    auth.inject(constantUsersPerSec(1) during (1 seconds)),
    scn.inject(nothingFor(2 seconds),
      constantUsersPerSec(50) during (300 seconds)
    )
    .protocols(httpConf))
    .assertions(global.responseTime.max.lt(500)) 
    .assertions(forAll.failedRequests.percent.lte(1)) 
    .assertions(global.responseTime.mean.lte(100))

}

Got my answer from the below link: Gatling Scala:Unable to send auth token to the method using session variable

I need to pass the token method in the scenario in order to get the token in the session.

  val authAPI = exec(
    exec(
      http("POST Auth API")
        .post("http://iserver:9092/login")
        .body(ElFileBody("bodies/inventalogin.json")).asJson
        .check(bodyString.saveAs("Auth_Response"))
        .check(status.is(200))
        .check(jsonPath("$.token").find.saveAs("token")))
      exec{session => { tokenAPI = session("token").as[String]
      session}}

var headers_10 = Map("Content-Type" -> """application/json""", "Authorization" -> "Bearer ${token}")

  def  getAllDevices() = {
    exec { session => println("token print2"); session }
    exec { session => println(tokenAPI:String); session }
    exec(session => session.set("token", tokenAPI))
    exec(http("Get all devices")
      .get("/devices/getAllDevices")
      .headers(headers_10)
      .check(status.in(200 to 210)))
      //.exec { session => println(session); session }

      .pause(1, 20)
  }

// Scenario Definition
  val scn = scenario("Basic")
    .exec(authAPI)
    .pause(1)
    .exec(getAllDevices())
    .pause(1)
    .exec(getAllDevicesPagination())
    .pause(1)
    .exec(logintest())
