Gatling not processing expressions in xml request body

Gatling version:

<gatling.version>3.4.2</gatling.version>

Scala Version: 2.12.12

I have this expression in my xml file

<item:seller-email>"${mobileUsername}"</item:seller-email>

As per my understanding, the code below should replace the expression with actual value

.body(RawFileBody("bodies/sample-item.xml"))

However, it looks like Gatling is passing it as it is

<item:seller-email>"${mobileUsername}"</item:seller-email>

Any pointers on how to make this work?

Solution

  • Your understanding is wrong, please have a look at the documentation:

    RawFileBody lets you pass a raw file that will be sent as is.

    ElFileBody where path is the location of a file whose content will be parsed and resolved with Gatling EL engine
