I have this running on the command line on my local machine and generates the junit.xml
file:
k6 run -e ENVIRONMENT=test test/api.ts | k6-to-junit junit.xml
When same command is run on the CI server, it gives me this error:
ERRO[0000] accepts 1 arg(s), received 4: arg should either be "-", if reading script from stdin, or a path to a script file
Note:
k6-to-junit is an npm package that I have installed as part of my project. Running npm install
on the command line should include that package as it is part of my devDependencies on package.json
Hi @poponuts,
welcome to the community forum 
is test/api.ts
a local file? If yes, then you should use the correct relative path like this ./test/api.ts
.
The error is generated from the k6 run
command. Apparently, in your CI you have a misconfiguration that generates a syntax error for the run
command.
Thanks @codebien , yes, the test is local and it runs only when | k6-to-junit junit.xml
is not included with or without the ./
With the following command line:
k6 run -e ENVIRONMENT=test ./test/api.ts | k6-to-junit junit.xml
Same result based on the above:
ERRO[0000] accepts 1 arg(s), received 4: arg should either be “-”, if reading script from stdin, or a path to a script file
make: *** [k6_run_tests] Error 255
Hi @poponuts,
did you try to run before with the minimum viable command? Something like:
k6 run -e ENVIRONMENT=test ./test/api.ts
If you are not getting an error then the issue could be related to how you’re using the pipe for your CI instructions.
Yes, @codebien it works without the pipe on the CI.
One critical info I forgot to mention is that this command is run via a docker-compose.yaml
file with the following snippet:
k6-tests:
image: loadimpact/k6
entrypoint: k6 run -e ENVIRONMENT=test ./test/api.ts | k6-to-junit junit.xml
Would you know how to handle pipe | on this?
Hi @poponuts,
how the pipe behaves depends on the shell you’re using in your CI. I suggest to you to ask for support directly in the channels of the vendor of your CI.
Here we focus mostly on support on issues regarding k6.
