Redirects not working in grafana cloud performance testing

What happened?

Redirects do seem to be timing out on K6 Cloud. We have tests that get redirected to a homepage. The homepage redirection constantly timeouts. When the test is executed locally (from same region) the test works.

We have tried the following code

await Promise.all([
page.click(selector, {timeout: timeout ?? this.defaultTimeout });,
page.waitForNavigation({timeout: timeout ?? this.defaultTimeout })
]);

Generates the following error

2025-04-02 20:24:09.404
[portal_smoke:1:0] Error thrown: waiting for navigation: timed out after 1m0s

We have also tried sequential awaits without wait for navigation, wating for an know element to appear

await page.click(selector, {timeout: timeout ?? this.defaultTimeout });,
await page.waitForSelector(navselector, {timeout: timeout ?? this.defaultTimeout });

And the waitforselector timesout

What did you expect to happen?

Redirect to not timeoout. When the test is execite from a local host there are no timeouts. All URLs used by the test are public.

Did this work before?

No

How do we reproduce it?:

  1. Execute the “Risk Map Smoke Tests” linked above
  2. View errors in logs,

We have reproduced this locally with the K6 docker images.

When running our tests with the grafana/k6:master-with-browser image we can reproduce the issue.

When running our tests with the grafana/k6:latest-with-browser image the issue goes away.
