And use these commands to remove the last hard-coded keybindings from flow
list. This means the flow list is now 100% command-driven, which is very
exciting.
Use this to simplify meta-commands in console, and to create a console_choose
command that prompts the user for a choice, and then executes a command with
variable substitution.
Also add a "raw" export format.
The Python and Locust exports are hard to maintain, their tests are extremely
brittle, they didn't have full test coverage, and are by my guess very rarely
used. I feel the Locust export should certainly be an externally maintained
addon. The Python/requests export can come back if someone cares enough, and it
can be structured in a way we can maintain.
This PR introduces the cuts addon, a flow dissector that allows you to select
and operate on specific components of flows. It also adds the first consumer
for cuts - the cuts.save command.
Save the content of the focus to /tmp/foo:
cuts.save s.content|@focus /tmp/foo
Save the URL and response content-type headers for all flows currently shown to
file, comma-separated, one flow per line:
cuts.save s.url,q.header[content-type]|@focus /tmp/foo
We also use this to replace the body save shortcut in the console flowlist.
- Add client.replay [flows], client.replay.stop
- Add server.replay [flows], server.replay.stop
- The corresponding options for file loading are only read on startup, further
changes are ignored. In interactive contexts, replay is started with the
commands, not through option changes.
- Deprecate flow.replay, use replay.client instead
This patch:
- Introduces a core update() event that should be invoked whenever flows are
changed outside of the normal lifecycle.
- Extend view.resolve to know about @all, which matches all flows in the view.
- Add a core flow.resume comand, which resumes flows and broadcasts an update event.
- Define flow list bindings for:
A -> flow.resume @all
a -> flow.resume @focus
d -> view.remove @focus
z -> view.remove @all
Our first user-facing command. The following commands do the obvious things:
save.file @marked /tmp/flows
save.file @focus /tmp/flows
save.file @hidden /tmp/flows
save.file "~m get" /tmp/flows
This is our first built-in command, which will be used by very many other
commands.
Also add a --commands option to dump all commands, analogous to --options.
- Fix some loading sequence bugs affecting command-line script invocation
- Allow addons to over-ride existing options (with a warning). We need this for
reloading.
- Convert har_dump to new-style arguments, fix and re-instate its test suite.
- Covnert miscelaneous other exmples to new-style args.
Many addons currently save options on configure(), either as individual options
or sometimes by saving the entire options object. The current options should
simply be available on the ctx object, simplifying state management for addons
considerably.
- Remove the watchdog dependency. We now just stat the script file every 2
seconds to check for an updated mtime.
- Further solidify our script testing, and in particular make the example tests
nicer. These should exemplify how we want users to test their own addon
scripts. More work on addon testing to follow.
- Addons now nest, which means that addons can manage addons. This has a number
of salutary effects - the scripts addon no longer has to poke into the global
addons list, we no longer have to replace/remove/boot-outof parent addons when
we load scripts, and this paves the way for making our top-level tools into
addons themselves.
- All addon calls are now wrapped in a safe execution environment where
exceptions are caught, and output to stdout/stderr are intercepted and turned
into logs.
- We no longer support script arguments in sys.argv - creating an option
properly is the only way to pass arguments. This means that all scripts are
always directly controllable from interctive tooling, and that arguments are
type-checked.
For now, I've disabled testing of the har dump example - it needs to be moved
to the new argument handling, and become a class addon. I'll address that in a
separate patch.
