Gatling Error: Could not find or load main class Engine

Question

I installed the latest IntelliJ idea, latest maven 3.6.3, Java 1.8, set the JAVA_HOME / JRE_HOME env variables. Then generated a Gatling project using mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=gatling. In summary, I followed the instruction here. I have installed the Scala plugin for IntelliJ idea as well. When I try to run the Gatling engine by right-clicking on the Engine class, I am getting below error. can someone tell me what's going on here? I tried all the suggestions online, but no luck so far. Thanks

Answer 1

David Montaño... after manually marking src/test/scala as Test Sources Root, I got "Error:(11, 18) illegal cyclic inheritance" as mentioned by Rasika

I just found that scala 2.13.1 is not compatible with gatling. I removed scala 2.13.1 from global libraries list and added scala 2.12.10. Tests working fine now. Here are the steps

1. Right click project folder in IntelliJ and choose 'Open Module Settings'

2. Under 'Platform Settings' select 'Global Libraries'

3. Here, remove scala-sdk-2.13.1 and add scala-sdk-2.12.10

4. Rebuild the module

Answer 2

It worked for me when I manually marked the src/test/scala as Test Sources Root and rebuild the project.

Mark as Test Sources Root

It should be picked up automatically by IntelliJ but it wasn't the case.
