Gatling perf test error : Run crashed java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: DNT

Question

I am trying to write a sample Gatling test. This test runs correctly in a different maven project but not working with an existing project where I am trying to add gatling

It identifies the Simulation tests,as soon as enter option 1 or 2

it crashes with below error

02:32:40.519 [main] INFO  i.g.c.config.GatlingConfiguration$ - Gatling will try to load 'gatling.conf' config file as ClassLoader resource.

This is a Springboot project,I have just written a main call to run the gatling code

Engine class

import io.gatling.app.Gatling;
import io.gatling.core.config.GatlingPropertiesBuilder;

public class Engine {
    public static void main(String[] args) {


        GatlingPropertiesBuilder prop = new GatlingPropertiesBuilder()
                .resourcesDirectory(IDEPathHelper.mavenResourcesDirectory.toString())
                .resultsDirectory(IDEPathHelper.resultsDirectory.toString())
                .binariesDirectory(IDEPathHelper.mavenBinariesDirectory.toString());
        Gatling.fromMap(prop.build());
    }
}

IDEPath helper

public class IDEPathHelper {

    static final Path mavenSourcesDirectory;
    static final Path mavenResourcesDirectory;
    static final Path mavenBinariesDirectory;
    static final Path resultsDirectory;
    static final Path recorderConfigFile;

    static {
        try {
            Path projectRootDir = Paths.get(IDEPathHelper.class.getClassLoader().getResource("gatling.conf").toURI()).getParent().getParent().getParent();
            Path mavenTargetDirectory = projectRootDir.resolve("target");
            Path mavenSrcTestDirectory = projectRootDir.resolve("src").resolve("test");

            mavenSourcesDirectory = mavenSrcTestDirectory.resolve("java");
            mavenResourcesDirectory = mavenSrcTestDirectory.resolve("resources");
            mavenBinariesDirectory = mavenTargetDirectory.resolve("test-classes");
            resultsDirectory = mavenTargetDirectory.resolve("gatling");
            recorderConfigFile = mavenResourcesDirectory.resolve("recorder.conf");
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(e);
        }
    }
}

Main Test

import io.gatling.javaapi.core.ScenarioBuilder;
import io.gatling.javaapi.core.Simulation;
import io.gatling.javaapi.http.HttpProtocolBuilder;


import static io.gatling.core.CoreDsl.*;
import static io.gatling.javaapi.core.CoreDsl.*;
import static io.gatling.javaapi.http.HttpDsl.http;
import static io.gatling.javaapi.http.HttpDsl.status;

public class ClaimTest extends Simulation {
    private HttpProtocolBuilder httpProtocol = http.baseUrl("http://reqree.in");

    private ScenarioBuilder users  = scenario("Test").exec(
            http("Giuven users")
                    .get("/2")
                    .check(
                            status().is(200)).
                    check(jsonPath("$.data.first_name").is("Janet"),status().is(200))
    ).pause(1);

    {
        setUp(users.injectOpen(atOnceUsers(1)).protocols(httpProtocol));
    }

}

Thanks in advance

You’re most likely mixing Gatling and your Spring Boot application, which causes a version clash at runtime on the Netty version (you’re forcing a downgrade, causing a field to be missing in older versions).

I recommend that you store your Gatling test in a directory that doesn’t depend on your application’s classpath, eg a subdirectory that’s not a module of your parent pom.xml that pulls all your application deps.

Stephane LANDELLE,How I have added a user-files/simualtions directory.In gatling.conf where do i need to specify the location.Also what changes do i need to my Spring runner class to start gatling tests – SlickTester Apr 27 '23 at 09:04
You mustn’t add a new question in comments. – Stéphane LANDELLE Apr 27 '23 at 19:45
This structure doesn’t make sense in a maven project. Stick to a proper maven structure like in https://github.com/gatling/gatling-maven-plugin-demo-java. Gatling doesn’t provide a SpringRunner integration, it doesn’t make sense. Launch from the maven task. – Stéphane LANDELLE Apr 27 '23 at 19:47
