v0.8.0

xk6-dashboard v0.8.0 is here 🎉!

This is a significant architectural release that improves the project structure and maintainability.

New Features

Frontend Assets Extraction

The frontend assets (UI, report, model, view, and config packages) have been extracted to a separate repository. This change:

• Reduces the main repository size by ~7,000 lines of code
• Removes Node.js/yarn toolchain requirements for backend development
• Enables independent versioning and release cycles for frontend and backend
• Maintains the same user experience and functionality

Impact: This change is transparent to end users. The extension continues to work exactly as before, with all frontend assets embedded in the binary at build time.

Improved Project Architecture

• Separation of Concerns: Frontend and backend development can now be managed independently
• Simplified Development Workflow: Backend developers no longer need Node.js tooling installed
• Pre-built Assets: Frontend assets are pre-built and distributed as a Go module
• Better Build Process: Streamlined build pipeline with reduced complexity

v0.7.9

xk6-dashboard v0.7.9 is here 🎉!

This release is a prerequisite for the feature request in grafana/k6 to enable the web dashboard by default.

Changes

• Gracefully Handle Default Port Binding Errors #216
• Downgraded spf13/cobra to 1.4.0 #218

Gracefully Handle Default Port Binding Errors

When multiple k6 instances are run in parallel (e.g., in a CI environment), each instance tries to launch the web dashboard and bind to the default port, 5665. The first instance succeeds, but all subsequent instances fail with a "port in use" error. This fatal error terminates the test run, preventing parallel execution when the dashboard is active.

The solution

The dashboard's error handling for port binding now more flexible. Specifically, if a port binding error occurs on the default port (5665), the behavior is:

1. A warning message is logged to the console, informing the user that the dashboard couldn't start on the default port.
2. The error is treated as non-fatal.
3. The k6 test proceeds to run normally, as if the dashboard were disabled for that specific instance.

This change makes the dashboard's behavior consistent with other k6 services (like the REST API) and would allow for the dashboard to be enabled by default in k6 without breaking parallel test execution workflows.

Downgraded spf13/cobra to 1.4.0

To maintain compatibility and continue the integration of xk6-dashboard with the main Grafana k6 repository, the spf13/cobra dependency downgraded from its current version (v1.9.1) to v1.4.0. This is to align with the version of spf13/cobra currently in use by Grafana k6.

Problem

The upstream Grafana k6 project uses an older version of the spf13/cobra library (v1.4.0). The current version in this repository (v1.9.1) creates a dependency conflict, which blocks the seamless integration of newer xk6-dashboard versions into Grafana k6.

Impact

As a direct consequence of this downgrade, the szkiba/docsme build-time tool, which is used for automatically generating the cmd/k6-web-dashboard/README.md file, will no longer be compatible.

Therefore, any future updates to the cmd/k6-web-dashboard/README.md file will need to be performed manually. This manual process will remain in effect until the spf13/cobra library is updated in the Grafana k6 repository.

xk6-dashboard v0.7.8 is here 🎉!
