Gatling Feeder running out of values - scala

Question

I have an array that i want to use for 2 feeders. I was expecting each feeder will be able to use all the values in the array. But seems like the values run out
val baseArray = Array ( Map("transactionId" -> "q-1"),
Map("transactionId" -> "q-2"),
Map("transactionId" -> "q-3"))
val feeder_getA = baseArray.clone.queue
val scn_getInsuredOrPrincipals = scenario("getInsuredOrPrincipals")
.feed(feeder_getA)
.exec(http("request_getA").get("/getA/${transactionId}"))
val feeder_getB = baseArray.clone.queue
val scn_getInsuredOrPrincipals = scenario("getInsuredOrPrincipals")
.feed(feeder_getB)
.exec(http("request_getB").get("/getB/${transactionId}"))
setUp(
scn_getInsuredOrPrincipals.inject(
atOnceUsers(3), // 2
rampUsers(3) over (5 seconds)
),
scn_getInsuredOrPrincipal.inject(
atOnceUsers(3), // 2
rampUsers(3) over (5 seconds)
)
)
I get an error saying feeder is now empty after 3 values are consumed... i was assuming feeder_getA and feeder_getB would each get 3 values so each scenario would get equal number of values. That doesnt seem like its happening. Almot as if the clone isnt working

Answer 1

The issue is that your feeders are defined using the queue strategy, which runs through the elements and then fails if no more are available:
val feeder_getA = baseArray.clone.queue
You need to use the circular strategy, which goes back to the beginning:
val feeder_getA = baseArray.clone.circular
