Using {{ variable }} as Int variable

I can’t do that

"sender_id": {{ fbID }}, as it complains on an invalid json.

Doing this "sender_id": "{{ fbID }}", fails the API, as now the number is a string.

Any solution for this ?

The most recent version of Artillery will now preserve the type of the variable rendered by a template if that’s the only operation in that template, so in the something like the following:

    flow:
      -
        post:
          url: "/api/v1/something/{{ id }}"
          json:
            id: "{{ id }}"

If id = 42, the resulting JSON payload sent to the target will be:

{"id": 42}

@tiffanywilson Mind opening another issue about the custom JS stuff? very curious

that’s a great solution @jordandlaman, we’ll prioritize getting this sorted properly without needing to resort to writing custom JS
