v0.27.1
k6 v0.27.1 is a minor release with a few bugfixes and almost no functional changes compared to v0.27.0.
The biggest fix was resolving a panic (and some k6 login
errors) when k6 was ran through git bash / Mintty on Windows (#1559).
k6 will now work in those terminals, however, if you're using git bash or Mintty as your terminal on Windows, you might not get the best user experience out of k6. Consider using a different terminal like Windows Terminal, PowerShell or Cmder. Alternatively, to work around the issues with the incompatible terminals, you can try running k6 through winpty
, which should already be preinstalled in your git bash environment: winpty k6 run script.js
.
If you're using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you are probably going to get better experience by using the official Linux k6 binary or .deb package. For all other cases of running k6 on Windows, the normal k6 Windows binary / .msi
package should work well.
Other minor fixes and changes:
- The Go version that k6 is compiled with was updated to 1.14.6, to incorporate the latest Go fixes (#1563).
- If the
throw
option is enabled, warnings for failed HTTP requests will no longer be logged to the console (#1199). - Metric sample packets sent to the cloud with
k6 run --out cloud
can now be sent in parallel via the newK6_CLOUD_METRIC_PUSH_CONCURRENCY
option, with a default value of1
(#1569). - The
gracefulRampDown
VU requirement calculations for theramping-vus
executor were greatly optimized for large test runs (#1567). - Fixed a rare bug where
dropped_iterations
wouldn't be emitted by theper-vu-iterations
executor on time due to a race (#1357). - Metrics, including checks, from
setup()
andteardown()
, were not correctly shown in local k6 runs (#949).
