how to add timeout into postman-to-k6 script?

[BrendaAspen]

I have an API, the response time is more than 60s (60s is the default timeout setting in k6).
In this default setting, response timeout issues always pop up.
WARN[0063] Request Failed error="Post "http://10.148.82.149/api/training/Agent\": request timeout"

I want to know if we have any options in postman-to-k6 converting?
Or, any idea on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

The time-out is a K6 parameter, so you should not set that in your Postman collection.

postman-to-k6 supports the passing of K6 params

So my advice would be to create a k6-params.json:

{
  "timeout:": "120s",
  ... other K6 params if needed
}

This will set the K6 timeout to 120 seconds, instead of the default 60 seconds.

and then include the K6 params file in the conversion

postman-to-k6 collection.json --k6-params k6-params.json -o k6-script.js

Hi,

I'm doing what thim81 suggested, I get this error:

WARN[0048] There were unknown fields in the options exported in the script error="json: unknown field \"timeout:\""

is there a way to add a different timeout?

Regards.

Hi @Fuentealba , as some reason, I didn't use k6-params.json from @thim81 suggestion.
I added:
params = {
timeout: "60m",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json, text/plain, /",
"User-Agent":
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.4896.75 Safari/537.36",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
};

res = http.get(url_base + /api/public/v1/permissions, params);

With params - timeout setting for each http request, it resolved my question.

It means for the script, the total timeout is 60m for your urls.

Yes, I found out that adding timeout in options works as well no matter the error that appears on execution. Thank you.
