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")
)

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")
)

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?(.*)=(.*)")
    .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").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")
    .ofType[(String, String)]
    .saveAs("data")
)
