Documentation Grafana k6 Using k6 Secret source Mock

Mock secret source

The mock secret source provides a quick way to test scripts with secrets.

To use the mock secret source, provide secrets directly in the command line:

Bashdocker

Copy

Bash Copy

k6 run --secret-source=mock=mysecret=value script.js

docker Copy

docker run -it --rm \
  -v <SCRIPT_DIR>:/scripts \
  grafana/k6 run --secret-source=mock=mysecret=value /scripts/script.js

In the Docker example, replace <SCRIPT_DIR> with the absolute path to the directory that contains your script.

Use multiple mock sources

Configure multiple mock sources and assign them names. You can also set one as the default source.

The following example configures two mock sources: one default source and one named another:

Bash Copy

k6 run --secret-source=mock=default,cool="cool secret" --secret-source=mock=name=another,cool="not cool secret" multi-source.test.js

The following script demonstrates how to retrieve secrets from different sources:

JavaScript Copy

import secrets from "k6/secrets";

export default async () => {
  const my_secret = await secrets.get("cool");
  console.log(my_secret == "cool secret");
  const anothersource = await secrets.source("another")
  console.log(await anothersource.get("cool") == "cool secret");
  console.log(await anothersource.get("cool") == "not cool secret");
}
