Bug 146568 – Web Inspector: Add a dedicated Network tab that is always live

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Timothy Hatcher]

The Network timeline only shows resources while recording, we should add a network tab that is always live.

Nice! I played with it. It looks like a great start. One issue I ran into was if the timeline was not recording, then all Network requests end up with a "start time" matching the last time in the Timeline. Maybe the backend's stopwatch is stopped and makes it appear as if all network requests are happening in that instant because it hasn't been advancing?!

I haven't reviewed in detail yet.

Style: Trailing comma! Would make future diffs cleaner.

Good catch! I didn't notice that.

I am thinking we need to just start the inspectorEnvironment().executionStopwatch() in InspectorResourceAgent::mainFrameNavigated and keep it on until another mainFrameNavigated.

This might not play well if the page was paused and this agent was enabled (Debugger.pause, Runtime.evaluate, Page.enable), but that shouldn't be possible with our frontend.

If/when we push timeline / profiling down to JSContext inspection this will need to be someplace lower.

Does this only get called fro the main frame?

I just removed this! how unfortunate, hah

I wonder how expensive findTreeElement is for each new record. It seems it could be expensive.

Typo: "resource-sidebar-..." should be "network-sidebar-..." I think, unless you are intending them to share / overwrite each other.

I wonder why we have the probe details sidebar panel everywhere. Seems it could just be in debugger.

Style: drive by fix this style!
