Client.load(importPaths, …protoFiles)

Caution

Starting on k6 v0.49, the experimental module k6/experimental/grpc has been graduated, and its functionality is now available in the k6/net/grpc module. The k6/experimental/grpc is deprecated and will be removed in v0.51.0.

To migrate your scripts, replace all k6/experimental/grpc imports with k6/net/grpc.

Loads and parses the protocol buffer descriptors so they are available to the client to marshal/unmarshal the correct request and response data structures for the RPC schema.

Must be called within the init phase.

ParameterTypeDescription
importPathsArray<string> | nullThe paths used to search for dependencies that are referenced in import statements in proto source files. If no import paths are provided then “.” (current directory) is assumed to be the only import path.
protoFilesArray<string>Rest parameters for the list of proto files to load/parse.
