The devtools.network.getHAR API method retrieves all the collected network requests generated by the target window as a HAR log (e.g. mostly like currently collected by the devtools and exportable from the network panel).

I'm giving a beer to the dev that implements this. 5$ on Bountysource :) I know it's not much but I can't wait for Chrome DevTools extensions to work in Firefox also :) I might increase the amount in the future.

This is needed to make https://github.com/firebug/har-export-trigger work in the future (you can use the trigger from Selenium to get the HAR file).
@Luca: I am working on better support for HAR this quarter and `getHAR` API is an important piece of the effort. Is it ok to work on this? Honza

(In reply to Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] from comment #3) > @Luca: I am working on better support for HAR this quarter and `getHAR` API > is an important piece of the effort. Is it ok to work on this? yes, it is absolutely ok. Bug 1311171 is also relevant (basically an extension can subscribe a listener to devtools.network.onRequestFinished and receive a single HAR entry per request finished, and it can also retrieve the full HAR log for every requests already collected by calling devtools.network.getHAR). Some relevant WebExtensions internals on m-c related to the devtools.network API namespace: - API JSON schema file for the devtools.network namespace (where the getHAR method and the onRequestFinished event are currently marked as unsupported, and so they are currently going to be skipped when the devtools.network namespace API object is being created by the WE internals): https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f42618c99dcb522fb674221acfbc68c2d92e7936/browser/components/extensions/schemas/devtools_network.json - API implementation module: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f42618c99dcb522fb674221acfbc68c2d92e7936/browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools-network.js :aswan has recently landed some docs on m-c related to the creation of new WebExtensions API: - https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/extensions/webextensions/index.html

This scope is automatically created for every opened DevTools Toolbox (so, there can more intances of the scope) and all DevTools WebExt API are available in it. This means that the Toolbox has be to opened in order to make the `chrome.network.getHAR()` available. I don't think there is a workaround. Note that Chrome works the same way. @Luca: is this correct assumption? 2) Another thing is that the Network panel needs to be selected at least once after the Toolbox is opened. This ensures that the panel is actually created and starts listening for and collecting all the HTTP details. It would be wrong to create the panel by default immediately after the Toolbox is opened since collecting HTTP details represents performance penalty and many users are not even interested in that. Note that Chrome works the same way. We might want to introduce a new pref (false by default) that could be set to true in order to force the Network panel to be created by default. However, I am not sure if this is needed. @Peter, do you know if Chrome has something like that? --- The patch is almost ready. The last missing thing is forcing lazily loaded data (e.g. response body, etc.) to be fetched automatically when `getHAR` is called. I am working on this and I'll attach a new patch for it. Honza

Comment on attachment 8941393 [details] Bug 1311177 - Implement the devtools.network.getHAR API method; https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/211714/#review218192 Thanks for getting this started! Follows an initial round of review comments (and some questions). Besides the inline comments, The following are some pointers related to the additional test case that we are going to add for the newly supported API method: - the following is the test file for the existent devtools.network.onNavigated API event: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js - the entire test extension is defined inside the test case itself: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js#43-60 - the extension object returned by ExtensionTestUtils.loadExtension allows the test to startup and unload the test extension (and await these asynchronous calls to be completed) https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js#63,89 - the test case privileged code and the test extension code can exchange messages using extension.awaitMessage/extension.sendMessage methods on the 'test case' side and browser.test.sendMessage and browser.test.onMessage on the 'test extension' side: - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js#27,64 - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js#12,71 - both the test case privileged code and the test extension code can make assertions, the extension code can use the browser.test.assert* methods (side note: unfortunately is(...) and browser.test.assertEq(...) use the opposite convention for the expected and actual parameter): - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js#34,74 ::: browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools-network.js:8 (Diff revision 1) > "use strict"; > > // The ext-* files are imported into the same scopes. > /* import-globals-from ext-devtools.js */ > > +XPCOMUtils.defineLazyModuleGetter(this, "buildHarLog", Initially we were importing the needed devtools pieces lazily when needed in the WebExtensions API implementation modules, but we are now always using the DevToolsShim as the entrypoint to the code exported by the devtools modules.

The following link points to the some code where we use the DevToolsShim in the ext-devtools.js module: - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools.js#16-17,57,96 The following are some useful pointers to the DevToolsShim implementation: - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/devtools/shim/DevToolsShim.jsm#226-238 - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/devtools/client/framework/devtools.js#574-580 :jdescottes is a great pick to review that part of the changes. ::: browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools-network.js:35 (Diff revision 1) > + let netPanel = context.devToolsToolbox.getPanel("netmonitor"); > + > + // The panel doesn't have to exist (it must be selected > + // by the user at least once to be created). > + // Return default empty HAR file in such case. > + if (!netPanel) { > + return buildHarLog(Services.appinfo); > + } > + > + // Use Netmonitor object to get the current HAR log. > + return netPanel.panelWin.Netmonitor.getHar(); How about extracting all of this part into the method exported by the DevToolsShim?

It looks that the requests are logged (and filtered out by default) also when the webconsole has been opened (even when the network panel has never been opened yet), am I right? I'm wondering if it would be possible to generate the HAR logs (using the same internals used by the net monitor) without the need to open the Network panel first? (as a side note: how does it behave on Chrome? does the method return the HAR log if called without opening the Network panel?)

> @Peter, do you know if Chrome has something like that? No Chrome has nothing like that what I know about. You need to open the devtools panel manually. The thing with the HAR in devtools in Chrome is that it isn't actually as good (it misses parts), so we use the Chrome tracelog instead to parse our own version. The HAR generated in FF is general much better than it is in Chrome (at least a couple of versions ago when I looked deeper into it). But it would be super if we could avoid having it open for Firefox, or at least not visible since we use it the browser screen to record a video and analyze it. Since FF 55 we've been able to do that together with WebPageReplay (so we can replay content locally) and the only missing part now is to get the HAR.

The currently available devtools extensions contexts are: - the devtools page, which is invisible and it is created when the toolbox is created (on toolbox-created: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fb999d1d39418fd331284fab909df076b967ac6/browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools.js#305) - further devtools contexts are created from the devtools page itself (e.g. devtools panels registered from the devtools page, but it is actually created only once the panel has been selected by the user once) - a sub-frame of a devtools page (or a devtools panel) which is pointed to an extension url is also a DevTools Extension context (and it is allowed to use the devtools API namespace) > > 2) Another thing is that the Network panel needs to be selected at least > once after the Toolbox is opened.

Collecting HTTP data represents perf penalty and so having the Net panel created only if the user is actually interested (ie opens the panel at least once) is good thing. Since most of the users won't use `getHAR` I think it's good to keep this behavior and don't enable the panel by default. Our tools will be faster. > (as a side note: how does it behave on Chrome? does the method return the > HAR log if called without opening the Network panel?) `getHAR` in Chrome returns content of the Panel. AFAIK the panel starts collecting the data immediately after the toolbox is opened. Test now included in the patch Thanks Luca for all the pointers! Honza

Only looked at the DevToolsShim part, this should be done in toolbox.js instead. At least the entrypoint should be there, feel free to move the implementation in another file if needed. ::: browser/components/extensions/ext-devtools-network.js:35 (Diff revision 3) > }).api(), > + > + getHAR: function(callback) { > + let targetPromise = getDevToolsTargetForContext(context); > + return targetPromise.then(target => { > + return DevToolsShim.getHARFromToolbox(context.devToolsToolbox); DevToolsShim is intended for callers that don't have a reference to devtools and are not sure if devtools are already loaded. If DevTools are not available/loaded, it should trigger the onboarding flow, or fallback to a shim implementation. Here it looks like you already have a reference on a toolbox. The entry point (and possibly implementation) should be in toolbox.js. DevToolsShim should not be modified here.

That's a very good cal, and it should also help to make this method even simpler, e.g. something like: ``` getHAR: function () { return context.devToolsToolbox.getHAR(); } ```

Nice catch, fixed! Thanks, Honza

@Luca: do you know why the tests fails? Btw. I don't even see `browser/components/extensions/test/browser/test-oop-extensions/browser_ext_devtools_network.js` in the tree. Is this generated dynamically somehow (for oop testing)? Honza

(In reply to Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] from comment #32) > @Luca: do you know why the tests fails? I took a brief a look to some of the failures from comment 31, and it looks that in all of them the test is timing out on the second getHAR API call that is happening right after the network.onNavigated event has been fired, and the following error is logged right before the timeout: ``` Console message: [JavaScript Error: "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"] 08:53:59 INFO - normalizeError@resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.jsm:403:7 08:53:59 INFO - call/<@resource://gre/modules/ExtensionParent.jsm:777:19 08:53:59 INFO - promise callback*call@resource://gre/modules/ExtensionParent.jsm:770:9 08:53:59 INFO - async*receiveMessage@resource://gre/modules/ExtensionParent.jsm:676:11 ``` e.g. https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=157385417&repo=autoland&lineNumber=2369 Another thing that I noticed is that in all the failures, the split webconsole seems to be opened while the network panel is selected, e.g.: - https://public-artifacts.taskcluster.net/FC0f326MRNapCqsI6ubd-w/0/public/test_info/mozilla-test-fail-screenshot_veple6.png and we are now opening the split webconsole in this test (could it be because we are opening the webconsole on the toolbox initially and then we quickly switch to the network console without waiting the webconsole to load?) Also, the tests seems to be failing consistently on windows 7 pgo builds, are you being able to reproduce the failure locally? (I'm also going to try to see if I can reproduce it locally using ./mach mochitest --verify) > Btw. I don't even see > `browser/components/extensions/test/browser/test-oop-extensions/ > browser_ext_devtools_network.js` in the tree. Is this generated dynamically > somehow (for oop testing)? Yes, most of the WebExtensions tests runs with the webextensions in oop mode and in single process mode, and the test-oop-extensions directories are generated dinamically for the tests that runs also in oop mode. As an example, when running the test with: ``` ./mach mochitest browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser_ext_devtools_network.js ``` the test runs automatically twice, because it is a mochitest-browser test file included in the browser-common.ini file - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser-common.ini#82 which is included in both browser.ini and browser-remote.ini: - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser.ini - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/extensions/test/browser/browser-remote.ini To execute only in one of the mode (oop and no oop), we can use the --tag options on the ./mach mochitest command, e.g. - only run with oop extensions mode disabled: ./mach mochitest --tag in-process-webextensions ... - only run with oop extensions mode enabled: ./mach mochitest --tag remote-webextensions ...

Thanks Luca! I think I fixed the problem, so will try to land again... Honza

This seems to be incompatible with the Chrome implementation. In Chrome, the object returned from getHAR is a HAR "log" (http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-12-spec/#log), so you could do something like: function gotHar(har) { document.querySelector("#har").textContent = `Har: ${har.version}`; console.log(har); } document.querySelector("#gethar").addEventListener("click", () => { chrome.devtools.network.getHAR(gotHar); }); In Firefox, the object is an object with a single property "log", which is the HAR log. So you'd have to do something like: function gotHar(har) { document.querySelector("#har").textContent = `Har: ${har.log.version}`; console.log(har); } document.querySelector("#gethar").addEventListener("click", () => { chrome.devtools.network.getHAR(gotHar); }); Is this incompatibility intentional?

Thanks for fixing the compat issue and getting it uplifted! I've added a page for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/devtools.network/getHAR - please let me know if that covers it. There is the restriction that the Network Panel must have been opened, otherwise the log is empty. Is this a Firefox-only thing? If so, I think we should capture it in a compat note.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) [Why is this notable]: There is a new WebExtension API for DevTools extension developers [Affects Firefox for Android]: no [Suggested wording]: DevTools supports new WebExtension API `devtools.network.getHAR` that can be used to get data collected by the Network panel as HAR. The API is compatible with Chrome browser implementation. [Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: MDN doc: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/devtools.network/getHAR Honza
