The forgeops/docker/gatling authentication simulation fails - 'com.github.lkishalmi.gatling' not found

[tavelm]

Unable to run the authentication rate simulation documented here: https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/forgeops/7.1/deployment/benchmark/authrate.html#

I was able to create the test accounts and prime the directory servers using the documentation, but when I tried to run "gradle clean; gradle gatlingRun-am.AMRestAuthNSim" from the forgeops/docker/gatling directory, I get the following error:

ci@ci-forgerock:~/forgeops/docker/gatling$ gradle clean; gradle gatlingRun-am.AMRestAuthNSim

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

It looks like this plugin from the Github repo was deprecated in 2020.

I am using the "build.gradle' script from the forgeops repo:

    id "com.github.lkishalmi.gatling" version "3.3.4"
}

apply plugin: 'scala'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'

I got a suggestion from one of our engineers to try upgrading to Gradle 3.8.0 and see if that works.

If it does, could you let us know? Thanks!
