Basic K6 Example

Below is a simple workflow for executing an inline K6 test. You can paste this directly into the YAML of an existing or new test, just make sure to update the name and namespace for your environment if needed.

The spec.content property defines a simple k6 script which gets written to /data/example.js
the spec.steps property defines a single step that runs the test and uploads the created report.

kind: TestWorkflow
apiVersion: testworkflows.testkube.io/v1
metadata:
  name: k6-sample
  namespace: testkube
  labels:
    docs: example
spec:
  content:
    files:
    - path: /data/example.js
      content: |-
        import http from 'k6/http';
        import { sleep } from 'k6';
        export default function () {
            http.get('https://test.k6.io');
            sleep(1);
        };
  steps:
    - name: Run Tests
      workingDir: /data
      run:
        image: grafana/k6:0.49.0
        env:
          - name: K6_WEB_DASHBOARD
            value: "true"
          - name: K6_WEB_DASHBOARD_EXPORT
            value: k6-test-report.html
        args:
          - run
          - example.js
      artifacts:
        paths:
          - k6-test-report.html

After execution, you can see the output from the test executions under the executions panel tabs:
