Running gradlew gatlingRun in windows fails with below stacktrace, on a default app generated with below config in Jhipster

 {
  "generator-jhipster": {
    "baseName": "jhipster",
    "packageName": "com.mycompany.myapp",
    "packageFolder": "com/mycompany/myapp",
    "authenticationType": "session",

  }
}

saw a similar bug on gradle forums but that one seems old and fixed https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2167

I tried reducing my classpath, but no use, still same error. Damn windows!! the classpath added by gradle is too long with all those generated cache folder names. saw this post so wondering if there could be some config to make gatling work on windows with gradle https://discuss.gradle.org/t/filename-too-long-in-windows/9222 any gradle experts to the rescue plz

The below is the working fix for this issue, thanks to @atomfrede Manifest jar needs to be named as gatlingBooter.jar and Gatling version needs to be 2.1.6

task manifestJar(dependsOn:'compileTestScala',type: Jar) {
    dependsOn configurations.testCompile
    archiveName 'gatlingBooter.jar'
    doFirst {
        manifest {
            // uri is just needed for Windows-compatibility
            attributes 'Class-Path': configurations.testCompile.files.collect{ project.uri(it) }.join(' ')
        }
    }
}

task gatlingRun(dependsOn:'manifestJar', type: JavaExec) {

     group = "gatling"

     standardInput = System.in

     final def sourceSet = sourceSets.test
     File configFile = file('src/test/gatling/conf/gatling.conf')

     def String gatlingDataFolder = "$project.rootDir.absolutePath/src/test/gatling/data"
     def String gatlingReportsFolder = "$project.buildDir.absolutePath/reports/gatling"
     def String gatlingBodiesFolder = "$project.rootDir.absolutePath/src/test/gatling/bodies"
     def String gatlingSimulationsFolder = "$project.rootDir.absolutePath/src/test/gatling/simulations"

    classpath sourceSet.output + files(manifestJar.archivePath) + files("src/test/gatling/conf")
     main = "io.gatling.app.Gatling"

     environment GATLING_HOME:''

     args '-df', gatlingDataFolder
     args '-rf', gatlingReportsFolder
     args '-bdf', gatlingBodiesFolder
     args "-sf", gatlingSimulationsFolder

 }
