Route

Route represents a network request intercepted by the page.route() function and allows to modify its behavior. Once routing is enabled, every request intercepted by a route will stall unless it’s continued, fulfilled or aborted.

When several routes match the given pattern, only the last registered route handler will run, and all others will be skipped.

Supported APIs

Method	Description
abort([errorCode])	Aborts the route’s request.
continue([options])	Continues the request with optional overrides.
fulfill([options])	Fulfills the request with the given response
request()	Returns the matching Request object.

Example

JavaScript
import { browser } from 'k6/browser';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    browser: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

export default async function () {
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Abort all images requests
  await page.route(/(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)/, async function (route) {
    await route.abort();
  });

  // Fulfill request with the following response which
  // changes the quotes displayed on the page
  await page.route(/.*\/quotes$/, async function (route) {
    await route.fulfill({
      body: JSON.stringify({
        quotes: ['"We ❤️ pizza" - k6 team'],
      }),
    });
  });

  // Change the pizza request when the button is clicked
  await page.route(/.*\/pizza$/, async function (route) {
    await route.continue({
      headers: {
        ...route.request().headers(),
        foo: 'bar',
      },
      method: 'POST',
      postData: JSON.stringify({
        maxCaloriesPerSlice: 500,
        mustBeVegetarian: true,
        excludedIngredients: ['Pineapple'],
        excludedTools: ['Knife', 'Scissors'],
        maxNumberOfToppings: 1,
        minNumberOfToppings: 1,
        customName: 'Classic Pizza',
      }),
    });
  });

  await page.goto('https://quickpizza.grafana.com/');

  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Pizza, Please!' }).click();

  await page.close();
