Is there a way to save a har file for the entire session using the inbuilt firefox netmonitor devtools

[Arjun Talwar]

hey All,

I am using firefox 43 with Selenium 2.51 and trying to run selenium webdriver tests and capture the har data using the inbuilt netmonitor options in firefox.

i am using the following firefox profile -

  profile.setPreference(FirefoxProfile.ALLOWED_HOSTS_PREFERENCE, localHostAlias);

        

        

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.enabled", true);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.compress", false);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultFileName", "HarOutputExport_%y%m%d_%H%M%S");

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultLogDir", "D:\\SeleniumInstrumentationJars\\HarOutputDir");

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.enableAutoExportToFile", true);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.forceExport", true);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.includeResponseBodies", true);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonp", false);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonpCallback", false);

        profile.setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.pageLoadedTimeout", "2500");

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation", true);

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken", "test");

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.autoConnect", true);

I use the har export trigger extension to save the har file.

However, i am getting a multiple har files - one for each page navigated.... is there a way to generate only 1 har file with data pertaining to all the pages ?

Earlier I was using firebug + netexport plugins but they are too inconsistent with the data they generate, so ive stopped using those.

Please help..

Did you try HARExportTrigger?

Thanks for replying Honza. 

Yes, like i mentioned above, I have used har export trigger to save the har files.

For that I am using the following preferences -

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation", true);

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken", "test");

        profile.setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.autoConnect", true);

but i get a different HAR file for each page navigated instead of just one cummulative HAR file.

Is there a way to persist the entire sessions data into a single HAR file ?

Hey Honza,

Did you get a chance to take a look at the issue ?

If data is loaded without  page reload? or How to trigger after some pagination?
