Build k6 binary [xk6-redis]

[AymanSalamn]

Is this the last command line to build the published version of xk6-redis?
Because I get some error when I try to run this command!

xk6 build v0.32.0 --with github.com/k6io/xk6-redis

Hi @AymanSalamn, 2 weeks ago I updated the repo to use the grafana org as well as update the actual installation instructions.

Sorry for the inconvience but we really want the urls and the names of the extensions to match and as we don't expect we will change them again and it's definitely what we want to have in the long run.

I would actually ask you why you are using this extension? As this is mostly for example purposes the more feature rich extension is https://github.com/dgzlopes/xk6-redis . We should probably make all of this more obvious though 🤔

Hello @mstoykov, it's not a problem.
I used this extension because it is in k6 official's documentation, i will try the extension you recommended.

When I used both extensions:
https://github.com/grafana/xk6-redis
https://github.com/dgzlopes/xk6-redis

I get the same error and the test failed to start.
Error:
unknown module: k6/x/redis.

@mstoykov, any idea please why I get this error?

@AymanSalamn I would expect that you do common mistake of trying to do k6 run ... after xk6 finish.

But xk6 does not overwrite your k6 binary it writes a new one in the local folder.

So you need to actually do ./k6 run ...

@mstoykov Thanks a lot.
