Trying to build K6 with Prometheus extension

Grafana k6 Extensions
1

Hi there!

I’m following the instructions on Prometheus remote write for install.

I’ve done
> go get go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest

> $ env | grep GO
GOBIN=/home/arun/go/bin
GO111MODULE=on
GOPATH=/home/arun/go

The build fails with

xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-output-prometheus-remote

hi @arunxls , welcome to the community forum :tada:

This seems like an error due to you using go version before 1.17 and I am not even certain k6 supports that t o begin with.

You can check your go version by running go version.
