How to put a customized message in K6 Check

Question

I am running a K6 tests with request.batch where number of requests can change for each test.

req = [req0, req1, req2, ...];
let res = http.batch(req);

then, I am trying to run a "check" for each request, and I use a while loop to do so.

while (i < req.length) {
    check(
      res[i],
      {" ${i} - status 200": (r) => r.status === 200 }
    );
    i++;
}

however K6 accumulate all "check" tests results in a single test, as test message doesn't parse the variable I pass. the output prints this message at the end of the test:

done [===============] 10s / 10s
✓  ${i} - status 200

I have tried to use different ways add the parameters, but no use:

{ i + " - status 200": (r) => r.status === 200 }
{' ${i} - status 200': (r) => r.status === 200 }
{` ${i} - status 200`: (r) => r.status === 200 }
{" %d - status 200", i : (r) => r.status === 200 }

I would like to know if there is any why to pass a customized message here.

You can use the bracket notation for assigning the property name.

See the example below and the following link: How to create an object property from a variable value in JavaScript?

import http from "k6/http";
import { check } from "k6";

export default function() {
    let response = http.get("https://test.loadimpact.com");
    let test = "x";
    check(response, {
        [test + " - status 200"]: (r) => r.status === 200
    });
};

This results in the following output:

done [==========================================================] 1 / 1i

✓ x - status 200
