Are k6 http calls asynchronous?

Are k6 http calls asynchronous? When I execute a call like http.get(url, params) is k6 waiting until the response?

If it is asynchronous and let's say I'm executing few calls and I want the response of a one call as the parameter to another call. How can I wait before executing the 2nd call until the response is returned from 1st one?

Solution

  • Fortunately, k6 currently does not support asynchronous, or more generally, event loop.

    You can read here for more details about how script execution.

    Note

    We have plan to support event loop, but I can't tell you now when it will happen.
