xk6-exec

This is a k6 extension using the xk6 system.

Build

To build a k6 binary with this extension, first ensure you have the prerequisites:

• Go toolchain
• Git

Then:

1. Install xk6:

go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest

2. Build the binary:

xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-exec@latest

Development

To make development a little smoother, use the Makefile in the root folder. The default target will format your code, run tests, and create a k6 binary with your local code rather than from GitHub.

make

Once built, you can run your newly extended k6 using:

 ./k6 run examples/script.js

Example

// script.js
import exec from 'k6/x/exec';

export default function () {
  console.log(exec.command("date"));
  console.log(exec.command("ls",["-a","-l"]));
}

Result output:

$ ./k6 run examples/script.js
