Hi @adoherty

Welcome to the community forum :wave:

I tested the request with get, and it seems to work for me, it timeout at 12s:

import http from 'k6/http';

export default function () {

    let params = {
        timeout: '12s'
    };
    let res = http.get('http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000000', params);
}

I also tested with a 90s timeout and it also works well. It stops after the 90s.

If you need to use the put( url, [body], [params] ) method, be aware you need to pass the body, which in your case I imagine will be null.

import http from 'k6/http';

export default function () {

    let params = {
        timeout: '12s'
    };
    let res = http.put('http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000000', null, params);
}

And that works as well.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi @adoherty

I believe the main difference is in the script, you need:

let res = http.put('http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000000', null, params);

not:

let res = http.put('http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000000', params);

Does the change still produce the same behavior? If you pass the params in the wrong place it is ignored, but once you pass them in the right place it should work.

I would not expect a different behavior in OS. Can you clarify the exact version and OS where it works and where it doesn’t? We would have a look to see if we can reproduce it.
