on(event, handler)

Registers a handler to be called whenever the specified event occurs.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
event	string	`''`	Event to attach the handler to. Currently, only the `'console'` event is supported.
handler	function	`null`	A function to be called every time the specified event is emitted.

Caution
When using the page.on method, the page has to be explicitly closed for the iteration to be able to finish.

Events

Event	Description
`console`	Emitted every time the console API methods are called from within the page JavaScript context. The arguments passed into the handler are defined by the `ConsoleMessage` class.

Example

import { browser } from 'k6/x/browser';
import { check } from 'k6';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    ui: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  },
  thresholds: {
    checks: ['rate==1.0'],
  },
};

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

  try {
    await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/');

    page.on('console', (msg) => {
      check(msg, {
        assertConsoleMessageType: (msg) => msg.type() == 'log',
        assertConsoleMessageText: (msg) => msg.text() == 'this is a console.log message 42',
        assertConsoleMessageArgs0: (msg) =>
          msg.args()[0].jsonValue() == 'this is a console.log message',
        assertConsoleMessageArgs1: (msg) => msg.args()[1].jsonValue() == 42,
      });
    });

    page.evaluate(() => console.log('this is a console.log message', 42));
  } finally {
    page.close(); // required so iteration can end
  }
}
