Unable to set local path to build from Fork

[mjkapkan]

Hi,

I need to build from source of a specific branch. So I pulled to branch and tried to build it, but it looks like the path is not accepted:

$ XK6_K6_REPO="$PWD" xk6 build

can you please try to run go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest and try again?

[mjkapkan]

Thanks! That worked. Looks like I might have missed one step. Is there any way to build directly from repository fork instead of pulling it first locally?

We had a bug last week you like didn't upgrade since then :).

Are you talking about a k6 fork or an extension fork ... I think in both case you can just give the fork "url" instead.

[mjkapkan]

Apologies for the confusion, what I meant is a specific branch. Like this:
--branch feature/SourceMaps https://github.com/grafana/k6.git

[mstoykov]

You can use env variables as in K6_VERSION=whatever xk6 build ... but it doesn't work with branches with / in them, but it works with commit has so K6_VERSION=1065bcf xk6 build ... works .

p.s. please also update to v0.4.5

Closing this as it appears to be fixed, but let us know if not @mjkapkan.
