Usage

Step 1 : adding the dependency

When using the Gatling bundle

Just drop the gatling-cssselector-<version>.jar into the lib directory.

When using maven Maven

Use the following in you pom.xml :

<repository>
	<id>excilys</id>
	<name>Excilys Repository</name>
	<url>http://repository.excilys.com/content/groups/public</url>
</repository>
<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>gatling.cssselector</groupId>
		<artifactId>gatling-cssselector</artifactId>
		<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

Step 2 : using in the scripts

If you use the txt format, the required imports are automatically registered. If you use the scala format, add the following import :

import gatling.cssselector.http.check.body.HttpBodyCssSelectorCheckBuilder._

This will let you use the new extractor builtins.

check(cssSelector("#loginForm fieldset legend",innerHtml _).eq("Please log in"))
