grafana/k6-jslib-testing: Playwright-compatible functional testing library for k6

A seamless way to write functional tests in k6 with Playwright-compatible assertions.

⚠️ Note: This project is under active development. While it is functional, it is not yet ready for production use, expect bugs, and potential breaking changes.

k6-testing is available as a k6 jslib. It can be directly imported as a dependency in your k6 script.

import { expect } from "https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.3.0/index.js";

The following example demonstrates how to use k6-testing in a k6 script.

The module exposes the expect function, which behaves in a similar way to Playwright's expect function.

To make an assertion, call expect(value) and choose a matcher that reflects the expectation.

import { browser } from "k6/browser";
import http from "k6/http";

import { expect } from "https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.3.0/index.js";

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    // Protocol tests
    protocol: {
      executor: "shared-iterations",
      vus: 1,
      iterations: 1,
      exec: "protocol",
    },

    // Browser tests
    ui: {
      executor: "shared-iterations",
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: "chromium",
        },
      },
      exec: "ui",
    },
  },
};

export function protocol() {
  // Get the home page of k6's Quick Pizza app
  const response = http.get("https://quickpizza.grafana.com/");

  // Simple assertions
  expect(response.status).toBe(200);
}

export async function ui() {
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  try {
    await page.goto("https://quickpizza.grafana.com/");
    await page.waitForLoadState("networkidle"); // waits until the `networkidle` event

    // Assert the "Pizza Please" button is visible
    await expect(page.locator("button[name=pizza-please]")).toBeVisible();
  } finally {
    await page.close();
  }
}

For functional testing, metrics and performance are most likely irrelevant, and we recommend executing k6 functional tests in headless mode:

# Run k6 in headless mode
k6 run --no-summary --quiet examples/browser.js

# If any assertion/expectation fail, a non-zero exit code will be returned
echo $status
1. Playwright-Compatible Expectations

Use the same assertions you know from Playwright:

// These Playwright assertions work exactly the same in k6
await expect(page.locator(".button")).toBeVisible();
await expect(page.locator("input")).toHaveValue("test");
2. Auto-Retrying Assertions

Perfect for UI testing, these assertions will retry until the assertion passes, or the assertion timeout is reached. Note that retrying assertions are async, so you must await them.

By default, the timeout for assertions is set to 5 seconds, and the polling interval is set to 100 milliseconds.

Assertion Description toBeChecked(opts?) Element is checked toBeDisabled(opts?) Element is disabled toBeEditable(opts?) Element is editable toBeEnabled(opts?) Element is enabled toBeHidden(opts?) Element is hidden toBeVisible(opts?) Element is visible toContainText(text, opts?) Element contains text. toHaveAttribute(attribute, value?) Element has specific attribute and, optionally, value toHaveText(text, opts?) Element has text. toHaveValue(value) Element has specific value

You can customize these values by passing an options object as the second argument to the assertion function:

await expect(page.locator(".button")).toBeVisible({
  timeout: 10000,
  interval: 500,
});

These assertions allow to test any conditions, but do not auto-retry.

Assertion Description toBe(expected) Strict equality comparison toBeCloseTo(number, precision?) Number comparison with precision toBeDefined() Asserts a value is defined toBeFalsy() Falsy value check toBeGreaterThan(number) Greater than comparison toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(number) Greater than or equal comparison toBeInstanceOf(expected) Asserts a value is an instance of a class toBeLessThan(number) Less than comparison toBeLessThanOrEqual(number) Less than or equal comparison toBeNaN() Asserts a value is NaN toBeNull() Asserts a value is null toBeTruthy() Asserts a value is truthy toBeUndefined() Asserts a value is undefined toContain(expected) When expected is a string, asserts the string contains a substring. When expected is an Array or Set, asserts it contains an element. toContainEqual(expected) Asserts an Array or Set contains a similar element toEqual(expected) Deep equality comparison toHaveLength(expected) Asserts a value has a length property equal to expected toHaveProperty(keyPath, expected?) Ensures that property at provided keyPath exists in the object and optionally checks that property is equal to expected.

You can negate any matcher by adding .not before the matcher method. This inverts the assertion, checking that the condition is false rather than true:

// Standard assertions
expect(response.status).not.toBe(404); // Assert status is NOT 404
expect(response.json().items).not.toBeEmpty(); // Assert items array is not empty
expect(user.permissions).not.toContain("admin"); // Assert user doesn't have admin permission

// Retrying assertions (must be awaited)
await expect(page.locator(".error-message")).not.toBeVisible(); // Assert error is not shown
await expect(page.locator('button[type="submit"]')).not.toBeDisabled(); // Assert button is not disabled

Negation is particularly useful in k6 testing scenarios such as:

Note: When using negated retrying assertions, the assertion will keep retrying until the condition becomes false or the timeout is reached. For example, await expect(locator).not.toBeVisible() will pass immediately if the element is hidden, but will retry until timeout if the element is visible, hoping it will disappear.

By default, failed assertions will terminate the test execution. The k6 testing library also supports soft assertions: failed soft assertions do not terminate the test execution, but mark the test as failed, leading k6 to eventually exit with code 110.

import exec from "k6/execution";
import { expect } from "https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.4.0/index.js";

export const options = {
  vus: 2,
  iterations: 10,
};

export default function () {
  // Iteration 3 will mark the test as failed, but the test execution
  // will keep going until its end condition, and eventually exit with
  // code 110.
  if (exec.scenario.iterationInInstance === 3) {
    expect.soft(false).toBeTruthy();
  }
}

Note that soft assertions can be configured to throw an exception, and effectively failing the iteration where it happens instead.

5. Custom expect messages

When writing tests, clear and informative error messages can significantly speed up debugging. You can specify a custom error message as the second argument to the expect function. This message will be displayed whenever the assertion fails, providing additional context about the failure.

Example:

expect(value, "Custom message").toHaveProperty("a.b[0]", 43);

If this assertion fails, the error message will clearly indicate the issue along with your custom message:

                     Error: Custom message
                        At: /Users/me/myProject/expectNonRetrying.ts:555:15

             Property path: a.b[0]
Expected property to equal: 43
           Received object: {"a":{"b":[42]},"c":true}

                  Filename: expectNonRetrying.ts
                      Line: 555

You can create a new expect instance with the .configure method. This will allow you to configure the behavior of the assertions. The configuration is applied to all assertions made using the expect instance.

Available configuration options

The available configuration options are:

Option Default Environment variable Description colorize true K6_TESTING_COLORIZE Whether to colorize the output of the expect function. display "pretty" K6_TESTING_DISPLAY The display format to use. "pretty" (default) or "inline". timeout 5000 K6_TESTING_TIMEOUT Specific to retrying assertions. The timeout for assertions, in milliseconds. interval 100 K6_TESTING_INTERVAL Specific to retrying assertions. The polling interval for assertions, in milliseconds. softMode "fail" K6_TESTING_SOFT_MODE Customize soft assertions behavior: fail(default) will mark the test as failed, throw will throw an exception and fail the iteration instead. Example with inline display and no colorization
export default function () {
  // Create a new expect instance with the default configuration
  const myExpect = expect.configure({
    // Display assertions using an inline format, aimed towards making them more readable in logs
    display: "inline",

    // Disable colorization of the output of the expect function
    colorize: false,
  });

  // Use myExpect instead of expect, and it will use the configured display format and colorization
  await myExpect(true).toBe(false);

  // Note that you're still free to use the default expect instance, and it will not be affected by the configuration
  expect(true).toBe(false);
}
Example of controlling retrying assertions' timeout and polling interval

You can configure the default timeout and polling interval for assertions by instantiating a new expect instance with the .configure method.

export default function () {
  const myExpect = new expect.configure({ timeout: 10000, interval: 500 });

  // Use myExpect instead of expect, and it will use the configured timeout and interval
  // for all assertions.
  //
  // In this specific case, the assertion will retry until the button is visible, or the timeout is reached: every
  // 500ms, for a maximum of 10 seconds.
  await myExpect(page.locator(".button")).toBeVisible();
}
import { expect } from "https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.3.0/index.js";
import http from "k6/http";

export function setup() {
  // Ensure the API is up and running before running the tests
  // If the response is not 200, the test will fail immediately with
  // a non-zero exit code, display a user-friendly message, and stop the test.
  const response = http.get("https://api.example.com/health");
  expect(response.status).toBe(200);
}

export default function () {
  const response = http.get("https://api.example.com/users");
  expect(response.status).toBe(200);

  const json = response.json();
  expect(json.users).toBeDefined();
  expect(json.users).toBeInstanceOf(Array);
  expect(json.users[0].id).toBeGreaterThan(0);
}
import { expect } from "https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.3.0/index.js";
import { browser } from "k6/browser";

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    ui: {
      executor: "shared-iterations",
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: "chromium",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

export default async function () {
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  try {
    // Navigate to the page
    await page.goto("https://test.k6.io/my_messages.php");

    // Type into the login input field: 'testlogin'
    const loc = await page.locator('input[name="login"]');
    await loc.type("testlogin");

    // Assert that the login input field is visible
    await expect(page.locator('input[name="login"]')).toBeVisible();

    // Expecting this to fail as we have typed 'testlogin' into the input instead of 'foo'
    await expect(page.locator('input[name="login"]')).toHaveValue("foo");
  } finally {
    await page.close();
  }
}

The project supports development using Dev Containers, which provides a consistent, pre-configured development environment with all necessary tools installed. This is the recommended way to develop k6-testing.

To use the Dev Container:

  1. Ensure you have Docker installed
  2. Use a Dev Containers compatible editor:
  3. Open the project in your editor - it should automatically detect the Dev Container configuration and prompt you to reopen in container

The Dev Container comes with:

k6-testing is built with Deno, and esbuild. Deno is used for the development of the library itself, as well as unit testing, and the output distributable files are built with esbuild.

The following commands are used throughout the development process:

The following files are must known when working on the project:

During development, a typical workflow would consist in the following steps:

  1. Make changes to the code
  2. Run deno fmt *.ts to format the code
  3. Run deno lint *.ts to report linting errors
  4. Run deno task build to (verify) build the code
  5. Run deno test to run unit tests
  6. Run deno task test to run integration tests
  7. (optional) import dist/index.js in a k6 script and run it with k6 run --no-summary --quiet <script>.js to verify that the library works as expected
