K6 check runs the k6 load testing suite and ingests the junit exported result in a container at a specified path as defined in testResults.

Using the k6-junit utility to export JUnit results to the testResults folder, canary-checker will pick up the results and make then available display formating and health evaluation.

start.sh
mkdir -p /tmp/junit-results
k6 -q run script.js
cp /tmp/*.xml /tmp/junit-results/
touch /tmp/junit-results/done
script.js
import { check } from "k6";
import * as http from "k6/http";
import { Rate } from "k6/metrics";
import { jUnit } from "./node_modules/k6-junit/index.js";

export const errors = new Rate("errors");

export const options = {
iterations: 20,
thresholds: {
checks: ["rate<2"],
}
};

let i = 1;

export default function() {
const res = http.get(`http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/${i++}`);
const result = check(res, {
"is status 200": r => r.status === 201,
"not empty": r => Object.keys(r.json()).length > 0
});
errors.add(result ? 0 : 1);
}

export function handleSummary(data) {
return {
"/tmp/junit.xml": jUnit(data)
};
}
