Make dynamic request using Gatling

Question

I want to make a dynamic request using Gatling. using Gatling we are getting to rest-API to which we are posting an SMS request I want that each request should be done with a different sent of mob no.

    exec(http("Sms Delivery")
      .post(s"/deliveries")
      .body(StringBody(
        s"""{ "template":
           |{ "type":"inline", "inline":
           |  { "channels":
           |    "sms":{ "body":{ "layout":"{greeting}", "fragments":{ "greeting":{"en-US":"ABC123 Interested to hear about some jobs?"}}}} }} },
           | "recipients":[ { "contactDetails":{ "mobileNumber" : "+1${Random.nextInt(123123123)}" } }],
           |  "requester": "${UUID.random.toString}"}""".stripMargin)).asJson
      .check(status.is(202))
      .check(jsonPath("$.messageId").ofType[String])
    )
  }

setUp(
    scenario("Create message-Cmd")
      .exec(createMessageServiceSms()).inject(
      rampConcurrentUsers(0) to (6) during(1),
      constantConcurrentUsers(5) during (testTime seconds)
    )
  )

Let suppose Gatling sends 100 requests the for all those requests my mob no remains the same for each request is same let say +12011705515. However, I want all no. should be different.

The string is created only once, then parsed as Expression Language, which allows you to substitute in session attributes.

If you want custom functions like creating a UUID and calling Random.nextInt, you need to pass in a function to StringBody.

StringBody(_ =>
  s"""{ "template":
     |{ "type":"inline", "inline":
     |  { "channels":
     |    "sms":{ "body":{ "layout":"{greeting}", "fragments":{ "greeting":{"en-US":"ABC123 Interested to hear about some jobs?"}}}} }} },
     | "recipients":[ { "contactDetails":{ "mobileNumber" : "+1${Random.nextInt(123123123)}" } }],
     |  "requester": "${UUID.random.toString}"}""".stripMargin)
)

The parameter that we discarded is the virtual user's Session.

Worth noting that you may have too few digits for the mobileNumber, but that's another issue than creating a dynamic request.
