Summary

Analyze keywords

The extension records all of the HTTP(S) requests that your browser makes, creates a test script, and automatically uploads it to your k6.io cloud account, where a load test can be executed.

Once uploaded to your k6.io cloud account, you can edit the test script using the powerful high-level language JavaScript. The script editor has syntax highlighting and a linter is run on save to help you avoid syntax errors and other common scripting mistakes.

You can run tests from up to 10 different geographic regions in a single test (powered by Amazon).

Can get it to create a HAR file, but no sign of a basic k6 script. Also same issue as others. Created a dummy Grafana account but everytime I try to record a script it asks me to login, but just shows an empty project page.

Forces you to create a grafana account. I did this using my github account and still doesn't work. Just redirects you to the grafana page after login.
