context()
Returns the current BrowserContext.
Note
A 1-to-1 mapping between Browser and
BrowserContextmeans you cannot runBrowserContextsconcurrently. If you wish to create a newBrowserContextwhile one already exists, you will need to close the current one, and create a new one with either newContext or newPage. All resources associated to the closedBrowserContextwill also be closed and cleaned up (such as Pages).
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| object | null | The current
BrowserContext if one has been created, otherwise null. |
Example
import { browser } from 'k6/browser';
export const options = {
scenarios: {
browser: {
executor: 'shared-iterations',
options: {
browser: {
type: 'chromium',
},
},
},
},
};
export default async function () {
console.log(browser.context()); // null
const page1 = await browser.newPage(); // implicitly creates a new browserContext
const context = browser.context(); // underlying live browserContext associated with browser
const page2 = await context.newPage(); // shares the browserContext with page1
page1.close();
page2.close();
await context.close();
