Running config.json on sitespeed (via node CLI)

[Edson1337]

Your question

Dear developers of sitespeed.io, I come to ask about the use of config.json for the command that runs through the node, locally on my machine. I have tried several ways to put the configuration I created, but the evaluation starts with the default configuration and ignores the json, or in other attempts I put the flag --config, is not considered correct, appears "TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME]".

Hi @Edson1337 can you share an exact example of how you run?

This works for me:
sitespeed.io --config config.json https://www.sitespeed.io

And the config.json looks like this:

{
    "browsertime": {
        "iterations": 1
    }
}

Here's the documentation: https://www.sitespeed.io/documentation/sitespeed.io/configuration/#configuration-as-json

Hi @soulgalore, here is the configuration I am using for the test:

Also, I use the same command line for execution and I get this error:

One detail I did not mention in my question is that I am running on Windows 11.
If you can give me some insight on how to solve this, I would be grateful.

Ah thank you @Edson1337 I wonder then if there's a bug in how we read the file on Windows, I added a test and will have a look.

[Edson1337]

Thanks for adding the test, @soulgalore . I saw here that you mentioned this issue in the test you performed and that it generated the same error. So if there is a resolution to this issue, please let me know if possible.

I look forward to hearing from you and have a nice weekend.

Hi @Edson1337 the error was introduced when I moved the code to ESM and I fixed it in #3921. I didn't had test for that on all platforms, but I added it now.

I'll release the fix later today (Sunday).

@Edson1337 please try with 29.1.1 when you have time, I think it will work in that version.

Hi @soulgalore , sorry I didn't reply sooner, but thank you very much for your help. I have already downloaded the new version and tested it with the settings I had made in the json file, I confirm the correct operation now.
