After k6 version 0.46 upgrade, browser is not invoked

Grafana k6 k6-browser
1

Hi folks,
I just upgrade my k6 from 0.45 to 0.46. Suddenly the browser is not invoked.
I run the sample code that come with the release. The test runs ok. But the browser is not visible.
import { browser } from ‘k6/experimental/browser’;

export const options = {
scenarios: {
ui: {
executor: ‘shared-iterations’,
options: {
browser: {
type: ‘chromium’, // chromium is the only supported browser type so as long as
// the option is set, Chromium/Google Chrome will be used
},
},
},
},
};

export default async function () {
const page = browser.newPage();
try {
await page.goto(‘https://grafana.com’);
console.log(“TESTING…”);
} finally {
page.close();
}
}

Any idea why?

Thanks,
-Madison

Hi @madisonli

What do you mean with:

Suddenly the browser is not invoked.
I run the sample code that come with the release. The test runs ok. But the browser is not visible.

? Do you mean that the browser GUI is not visible in your screen?
By default the browser is launched in headless mode. This can be controlled through K6_BROWSER_HEADLESS environment variable. See here for browser level options. Is this what you are referring to?

Can you post here the output of the script please?

Thanks Daniel. It was my bad.

Typo in command: “k6 run -e K6_BROWSER_HEADless=false temp.js”

It works with command “k6 run -e K6_BROWSER_HEADLESS=false temp.js”
