File secret source

The file secret source loads secrets from a plain text file.

Each line in the file contains one secret in key=value format:

text 
secret=very secret
someotherkey=another secret

To use the file secret source, specify the file path with the --secret-source flag:

Bash 
k6 run --secret-source=file=secrets.file script.js
docker 
docker run -it --rm \
  -v <SCRIPT_DIR>:/scripts \
  grafana/k6 run --secret-source=file=/scripts/secrets.file /scripts/script.js

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