-INTELLIJ IDEA 2020.3- Cannot connect to demostore.gatling.io

I am trying to execute a Gatling scenario to the https://demostore.gatling.io website, after register it through Chrome HAR export (inside my dev environment).

Import and everything goes smoothly, but when I run the scenario I receive the following error:

i.n.c.ConnectTimeoutException: connection timed out: demostore.gatling.io/54.147.169.32:80

I then tried to set up the IntelliJ proxy from Settings → System Settings → HTTP Proxy, setting it to Manually and providing the correct proxy configuration → Test Connection vs http://demostore.gatling.io and the IDE returns Connection Succesful.

Currently, my environment is as follow:

  • Intellij IDEA 2020.3
  • Gatling 3.5.1
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 bit (on VirtualBox)
  • I am behind a VPN with proxy (need this since Maven is configured to use the internal Nexus repo)
Solution

  • This question was answered by @StéphaneLANDELLE, but the thread was deleted after editing something in the above question.

    Stéphane was pointing me correctly to: Proxy parameters in the official Gatling documentation and after setting:

    http.proxy(Proxy("<URL>", <PORT>).credentials("<user>", "<pwd>"))

    everything started working as expected.
