Here is a really simple script for k6 browser testing.
export const options = {
scenarios: {
browser: {
executor: "constant-vus",
exec: "browserTest",
vus: 10,
duration: "60s",
options: {
browser: {
type: "chromium",
},
},
},
},
cloud: {
distribution: {
distributionLabel1: { loadZone: "amazon:de:frankfurt", percent: 100 },
},
},
};
export async function browserTest() {
const page = browser.newPage();
try {
await page.goto("https://google.com");
page.screenshot({ path: "screenshots/screenshot.png" });
} finally {
page.close();
}
}
The script is working totally fine when running local via k6 run test-script.js , but in cloud (via k6 cloud test-script.js) screenshots are not saved. The rest is working fine.
Error Message:
ERRO[0139] Uncaught (in promise) GoError: taking screenshot of page: persisting screenshot: creating a local directory "screenshots": mkdir screenshots: permission denied
Apparently I do not have permission to create a folder. Do I somehow have the option to save screenshots during k6 cloud testing? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything about this in the docs or the forum and I’m wondering, as it should be a pretty basic requirement.
