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.
