Custom exit code setting for threshold

[lemon-li]

Feature Description

When I run K6 in the docker, if threshold fails, it will cause exit code 99 (#870).

I expect that it should be possible to customize the configuration, because my monitoring system will catch the exit, thinking this is an unexpected exit.

@lemon-li, can you share some more details about your use case? And can you look through #680 and #870 and explain how the feature you want differs from them?

thank you for your reply，I think that same feature.
when the threshold fails, I can change the exit code from 99 to 0.

I still don't understand precisely why you want to do that, sorry. After all, the main purpose of the k6 thresholds is to act as a pass/fail criteria for the load test, so k6 returning with non-zero exit code is precisely meant to signal the CI system to treat the test run as a failure... In any case, wouldn't suppressing the exit code this way also work:

k6 run whatever.js || true

This way, even if k6 exits with a non-zero code, the script/CI job will not abort.

Closing this issue due to lack of response. I though about it some more and there's a valid use case for wanting a 0 exit code for some thresholds, but that is tracked in #680 (comment)
