HTTP debugging

suggest edits

Things don't always work as expected. For those cases, enabling the --http-debug option will log HTTP requests and responses to help you debugging the script.

  • --http-debug logs the HTTP requests and responses, skipping the body.
  • --http-debug="full" logs the HTTP requests and responses, including the full body.

Example

Given the following script:

1import http from "k6/http";
2

3export default function() {
4      http.get("https://google.com/");
5}

If we run it using k6 run --http-debug script.js we get output that looks like this:

1          /\      |‾‾|  /‾‾/  /‾/
2     /\  /  \     |  |_/  /  / /
3    /  \/    \    |      |  /  ‾‾\
4   /          \   |  |‾\  \ | (_) |
5  / __________ \  |__|  \__\ \___/ .io
