Enabling Profiling using environment variable

[ameetpal]

Feature Description

Currently we are using k6-operator to run tests and how will we able to enable profiling in that ? As of now we are only passing environment variables.

Will it be possible to have a environment variable for enabling profiling ?

Hey @ameetpal,
yes, it is a good idea to support it as we do for all other options. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee when we will be able to work on it. Probably, the best path for you could be to contribute by opening a pull request.

It should be very similar to the other environment variables in this part of the code.

k6/cmd/state/state.go

Lines 157 to 165 in a5dcc99

	func getFlags(defaultFlags GlobalFlags, env map[string]string) GlobalFlags {
	result := defaultFlags
	// TODO: add env vars for the rest of the values (after adjusting
	// rootCmdPersistentFlagSet(), of course)
	if val, ok := env["K6_CONFIG"]; ok {
	result.ConfigFilePath = val
	}

hello everyone! in this case it's just add env variable and set to ProfilingEnabled?

Hey @Bablzz,
yes, very similar to what we already have for

k6/cmd/state/state.go

Lines 163 to 174 in a5dcc99

	if val, ok := env["K6_CONFIG"]; ok {
	result.ConfigFilePath = val
	}
	if val, ok := env["K6_LOG_OUTPUT"]; ok {
	result.LogOutput = val
	}
	if val, ok := env["K6_LOG_FORMAT"]; ok {
	result.LogFormat = val
	}
	if env["K6_NO_COLOR"] != "" {
	result.NoColor = true
	}

Plus, if we are going to add multiple ways for setting it then we have to add a test for the consolidation.

k6/cmd/config_consolidation_test.go

Line 146 in a5dcc99

func getConfigConsolidationTestCases() []configConsolidationTestCase {
