# resolve( path )

Resolves a path to a URL string in the same way an import statement does.

Use this function to provide a path relative to the current module to functions like `open` that accept URLs. This is helpful because some k6 functions don’t resolve paths relative to the same origin, which can cause similar-looking paths to load different files from the filesystem.
