Button to clean history

[Antonio Cota]

Hi,

Is there a button to clean all the history under the History tab? It would be very useful. Currently I have to double click Ctrl + A and then Del.

Thank you

Clearing history clears the site tree, you may as well right click the root and delete from there.

I've just deleted the history under the history tab and the site tree was touched, nothing was removed from the site tree.

You're totally right. I was headed to bed at the time and rushing. I was only considering proxied traffic not all ZAP functionality.

Sorry!

I think I could be something nice to have, don't you?

Is there any reason why you dont want to start a new session?

That will clear the History and the Sites Tree :)

We already have a button for that...

[Antonio Cota]

If I start a new session then I will loss all the contexts that I've set. You could say "re-open the stored session", but if I do so then I will also bring back the history which is something I wanted to delete

Here's an extender script you can use to add a broom button to the main tool bar to clear the history table:

var jbutton = Java.type("javax.swing.JButton");
var button = new jbutton();

var control
if (!control) control = Java.type("org.parosproxy.paros.control.Control").getSingleton()

extHist = control.getExtensionLoader().getExtension(
org.parosproxy.paros.extension.history.ExtensionHistory.NAME)

function install(helper) {
if (helper.getView()) {
var imageicon = Java.type("javax.swing.ImageIcon");
// The icons bundled with ZAP are listed here https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/tree/main/zap/src/main/resources/resource
button.setIcon(org.zaproxy.zap.utils.DisplayUtils.getScaledIcon(
new imageicon(org.zaproxy.zap.ZAP.class.getResource("/resource/icon/fugue/broom.png"))));
button.setToolTipText("Clear History");
button.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
actionPerformed: function(event) {
helper.getView().showWarningDialog("Clearing all history may also cause Sites Tree nodes to be removed.");
print("Clearing history");
extHist.getHistoryReferencesTable().selectAll();
extHist.purgeHistory(extHist.getSelectedHistoryReferences());
print("Done clearing history");
}
});
helper.getView().addMainToolbarButton(button)
helper.getView().getMainFrame().getMainToolbarPanel().revalidate();
}
}

function uninstall(helper) {
if (helper.getView()) {
// If revalidate isnt called then the button appear to stay on the toolbar
helper.getView().getMainFrame().getMainToolbarPanel().revalidate();
helper.getView().removeMainToolbarButton(button);
}
}
