HTTP Checks

    Checks specific to HTTP requests

    HTTP Specific Check Type

    The HTTP Check implementation provides the following built-ins:

    HTTP status

    status

    Targets the HTTP response status code.

           
    .check(
  status().saveAs("status")
)
    .check(
  status().saveAs("status")
)
    .check(
  status().saveAs("status")
) 
    .check(
  status.saveAs("status")
)

    Page location

    currentLocation

    Targets the current page absolute URL. Useful when following redirects in order to check if the landing page is indeed the expected one.

           
    .check(
  currentLocation().saveAs("url")
)
    .check(
  currentLocation().saveAs("url")
)
    .check(
  currentLocation().saveAs("url")
)
    .check(
  currentLocation.saveAs("url")
)

    currentLocationRegex

    A version of currentLocation that applies a Java Regular Expression to capture some information out of it, like in the generic regex.

    It takes one single parameter:

    • pattern can be a plain String, a Gatling Expression Language String or a function.
           
    .check(
  // single capture group
  currentLocationRegex("https://(.*)/.*")
    .saveAs("domain"),
  // multiple capture groups with "captureGroups"
  currentLocationRegex("http://foo.com/bar?(.*)=(.*)")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("queryParamKeyAndValue")
)
    .check(
  // single capture group
  currentLocationRegex("https://(.*)/.*")
    .saveAs("domain"),
  // multiple capture groups with "captureGroups"
  currentLocationRegex("http://foo.com/bar?(.*)=(.*)")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("queryParamKeyAndValue")
)
    .check(
  // single capture group
  currentLocationRegex("https://(.*)/.*")
    .saveAs("domain"),
  // multiple capture groups with "captureGroups"
  currentLocationRegex("http://foo.com/bar?(.*)=(.*)")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("queryParamKeyAndValue")
)
    .check(
  // single capture group
  currentLocationRegex("https://(.*)/.*")
    .saveAs("domain"),
  // multiple capture groups with "captureGroups"
  currentLocationRegex("http://foo.com/bar?(.*)=(.*)")
    .ofType[(String, String)]
    .saveAs("queryParamKeyAndValue")
)

    HTTP header

    It takes one single parameter:

    • headerName can be a plain String, a Gatling Expression Language String or a function.
           
    .check(
  header("Content-Encoding").is("gzip")
)
    .check(
  header("Content-Encoding").is("gzip")
)
    .check(
  header("Content-Encoding").shouldBe("gzip")
)
    .check(
  header("Content-Encoding").is("gzip")
)

    headerRegex

    A version of header that applies a Java Regular Expression to capture some information out of it, like in the generic regex.

    It takes two parameters:

    • headerName can be a plain String, a Gatling Expression Language String or a function.
    • pattern can be a plain String, a Gatling Expression Language String or a function.
           
    .check(
  headerRegex("FOO", "foo(.*)bar(.*)baz")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("data")
)
    .check(
  headerRegex("FOO", "foo(.*)bar(.*)baz")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("data")
)
    .check(
  headerRegex("FOO", "foo(.*)bar(.*)baz")
    .captureGroups(2)
    .saveAs("data")
)
    .check(
  headerRegex("FOO", "foo(.*)bar(.*)baz")
    .ofType[(String, String)]
    .saveAs("data")
)
