- 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.
This commit is largely based on work by Thiago Arrais (@thiagoarrais)
and Shane Bradfield (@l33tLumberjack). I wasn't really able to get their
PR reasonably merged onto the latest master, so I reapplied their changes
manually here and did some further improvements on that.
- Hide links to internal code listings, and link to github instead
- Improve formatting of code/example captions
- Fix outdated documentation of command-line options
- Complete documentation of all events + improved formatting
- tcp_open -> tcp_start, tcp_close -> tcp_end to reduce confusion
