Hi @jessie

Welcome back!

Can you test a simpler example like this one:

import http from 'k6/http';
import { group, sleep } from 'k6';

export default function () {

    group('main', function () {
        http.get('https://test.k6.io');
        group('sub', function () {
            http.get('https://httpbin.test.k6.io/anything');
            sleep(1);
        });
        http.get('https://test-api.k6.io');
    });
}

The output for me, using version 0.42.0 is:

If you get the same error with the script above, can you share the k6 version you are using? Maybe it’s an older version. Once the simpler script works we can try to figure out the differences with yours. Since you did not share the complete (sanitized) script I can’t be sure.

Cheers!

Hi @eyeveebe
Really thanks for your help.
I tested this simpler example and it works. Then I tried my scripts again and most of them worked fine, I have compared the only one wrong script with yours again and again. Then I found that the one that was wrong was because the sleep function was not imported！
Sorry to bother you and your team with my stupid mistakes :rofl:
Thanks again.
