Good issue for k6 maintainers
k6 has a bit unusual approach to the logs it prints in CLI output by default. Logs of all levels are written to
stderr
, unless--log-output
option is used. With that option, logs of all levels are re-directed to the specified location. There is no difference in the logs behaviour by levels (INFO vs ERROR vs WARNING).From the user's perspective, it appears as if this approach was taken to distinguish between test run process messages and summary in
stdout
and logs instderr
. This is a bit unusual from the perspective of CLI tooling, and it'd be useful for some use cases to be explicit about these details in the docs.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
