Given I have the following simulation test:
package click.joaopedroschmitt.simulation
import io.gatling.core.Predef._
import io.gatling.http.Predef._
import click.joaopedroschmitt.config.Configuration
class AddressServiceSimulation extends Simulation {
val search =
exec(
http("Search Address")
.get("/addresses")
.queryParam("q", "New york")
.check(
status.is(200),
jsonPath("$").count.gt(2)
)
)
val httpProtocol =
http.baseUrl(Configuration.apiURL)
.authorizationHeader(Configuration.accessToken)
var users =
scenario("Users").exec(search)
setUp(
users.inject(atOnceUsers(1))
).protocols(httpProtocol)
}
I have enabled request response logging in Gatling to show the JSON body, and I can see the following content being logged:
HTTP response:
status:
200 OK
headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Connection: keep-alive
...
body:

Please open the following file: file:///home/schmitt/projects/aws-load-tests/target/gatling/addressservicesimulation-20221022141836830/index.html
As you can see in the message jsonPath($).count.greaterThan(2), but actually 1 is not greater than 2 the JSON path is not properly counting the number of elements in the JSON response (that cleary contains more than two objects).
Am I doing something wrong?
I found the solution to my problem by doing the following:
jsonPath("$[*].id").count.gt(1)
I had to get the ids to get the right counting
