1448873 - Edit and resend doesn't work at seemingly random times

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P5)

Description

[Joseph Aditya P. G.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180326100107

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open dev tool
2. Go to network monitor
3. Go to any sites
4. Select any row and details panel will be displayed
5. Click the "Edit and Resend" button
6. You can edit anything or skip this step
7. Hit "Send"


Actual results:

Nothing happens.

This happens often when there are interrupted/incomplete requests (timeout or by hitting the stop button when Firefox is downloading the page/assets) and sometimes on pages that load completely without any errors.


Expected results:

Firefox sends the request.

This is not only reproducible on Win10.
I got it reproduced on Win7.

The reproduction plan is not correct.

In order to achieve this, you will need to have, under the Network tab, any filter selected other than "ALL".
If you have, for example the filter "XHR", then edit and resend will not work.
On the other hand, if you have "ALL", edit and resend works as expected.

Will modify and update the bug.

This is opened in a new ticket here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1449495
that explains the situation in depth.

No, this is under the ALL filter.

In your case, the panel closes instantly, but that's not the case here. It just sit there without sending a new request.

I can't reproduce the problem.

Here is what I am doing and it works for me:

1) Load http://janodvarko.cz/firebug/tests/601/Issue601.htm
2) Open the Toolbox, select the Net panel
3) Click the POST button on the page
4) Right click on the POST request pick Edit and Resend
5) Click Send in the form (side panel)
6) There are two POST requests in the list now

Anyone having a trouble with this scenario?

Well, not with your link, specifically - for some reason that page/post works fine.  I'm having trouble on my own page, and also on THIS page, as well (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1448873).  Just as a test, reading your post, I opened the debug tool, network tab, refreshed, picked a script at random, Edit and Resend, and Send did nothing.  It doesn't appear to be random, exactly; I can click "Send" a dozen times to no avail, and I can try on a number of different requests, but it doesn't work.  ...MOST of the time.  Under circumstances I have yet to pin down, it DOES work, on this page; it's worked maybe twice, now.

This happens to me because I pretty much always have the XHR filter on.  I click "Edit and Resend" on an XHR request and nothing happens.  I didn't realize I needed to switch to All until I came to this page, and low and behold it works with the All filter.  UX issue, I think Edit and Resend should bypass the filter and go right into the current view.

Months later.... and still no fix. 
It is starting to becoming really annoying. I only need XHR. The ALL filter makes so much "noise" while doing my work!

Yeah, I literally just thought that function was broken for months until I got annoyed enough to Google it and find this thread.  Just letting the dev team know that it's still a point of confusion.

Send button doesn't work. The filter is already set to "All".

I just hit something like this.

1. Try for example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test
2. In network tab, find first request to https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test&ia=news
3. Select on it "Edit and Resend"
4. Change URL to http://duckduckgo.com/?q=test&ia=news
5. Click "Send".

Nothing happens and it doesn't complain about anything.

It doesn't work with All filter either.
