Report whether a test was run from a CI environment in usage report data

[oleiade]

Feature Description

k6 collects anonymized usage data with users content. In order to help us continue improving k6, we would like to add the information whether a test was run in a CI environment to such report.

Suggested Solution (optional)

The currently proposed solution is to look for the CI variable in the system's environment, and if set, update the usage report data accordingly (as proposed by @joanlopez).

Already existing or connected issues / PRs (optional)

PS: The first naive solution sounds rather cheap to implement, and I'd really like to see this land in v0.56.0. What do you think @joanlopez @andrewslotin ?

It's likely going to be straightforward to implement, and I don't see many risks and/or potential blockers, beyond deciding how to name that indicator, and filling with a boolean stating whether the CI environment variable is defined or not.

Any other concerns? cc/ @grafana/k6-core

I like this proposal! Looks like a small change that would help us to understand how k6 is used in real life. Let do this!
