Logging into website with check

Grafana k6 OSS Support

I’m trying to login from the login page of my site which opens up the next web page. I’m fairly new to k6 so I don’t know if I need and html look up function to find the places to put the login information. I want it to log in and check if it did and then get the next webpage after the login. So far I have this, thanks in advance. I know my script doesn’t even run but it gives you an understanding of what I’m trying to do. More or less a user scenario that I wouldn’t like to use the recording tool for.

import { sleep, group } from "k6";

import http from "k6/http";

export let options = {

    maxRedirects: 0,

    stages: [

    { duration: "30s", target: 5}, //simulate ramp-up of traffic from 1 to 5 users over 30 seconds

    { duration: "30s", target:5}, // stay at 5 users for 90 seconds

    { duration: "30s", target: 0},  //ramp down to 0 users over 5 seconds

  ]

  };

export default function () {

    group('visit page and login', function () {

    // load homepage

    var url = 'https://socialscape.dev.sociallydetermined.com/login';

    var payload = JSON.stringify({

      email: 'aaa',

      password: 'bbb',

    });

  

    var params = {

      headers: {

        'Content-Type': 'application/json',

      },

    };

  

    http.post(url, payload, params);

  }

  check(res, {

    'is status 200': (r) => r.status === 200,

});

}

I answered you somewhat in the other thread (and, please, stop posting the same thing across multiple threads…). Besides the links I posted there, the following ones might also be of use to you:

Also, the problem with the current script seems to be that you’re not saving the result of http.post() anywhere, while you’re check()-ing a variable named res. So, this should be something like let res = http.post(url, payload, params);
