1632030 - Network's raw headers text selection doesn't persist

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

STR: Select text in the raw header text.
AR: Text selection doesn't persist.

Right now its an textarea. The click event in the TreeView seems to reset the selection.

Best fix might be switching to a CodeMirror instance with http highlighting, in which case we can dupe this against bug 1618070.

Comment 1

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

Bomsy, would this be a good first bug with some mentoring?

Comment 2

[Hubert Boma Manilla (:bomsy)]

Yeah it is.

For details

1. Here is the location in the Headers Panel that needs to change
   https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3446310d6cc5c85cde16a82eccf560e9b71a3d44/devtools/client/netmonitor/src/components/request-details/HeadersPanel.js#335-340

2. It can be replaced with the SourcePreview component which is located here
   https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3446310d6cc5c85cde16a82eccf560e9b71a3d44/devtools/client/netmonitor/src/components/previews/SourcePreview.js

3. Set the mode to http

Hey :bomsy I would like to take this bug.

As mentioned above the TextArea has to be replaced with SourcePreview, right?

Below is what it should be replaced with,

SourceView({
    text: value,
    mode: 'http'
})

Please let me know if there's something I am missing out here.

Thanks.

[Hubert Boma Manilla (:bomsy)]

Nice. I've assigned to you.(In reply to Harshil from comment #3)

SourceView({
    text: value,
    mode: 'http'
})

should be SourcePreview. apart from that. That looks correct

[Harshil]

Hey :bomsy,

I recently submitted a patch for one of the bugs, and I am waiting for it to get reviewed. Should I wait for it to get reviewed and then start working on this? Those changes are not related to this, and are completely different, but I wanted to know how the developer flow is. I would appreciate if you could help me understand it better.

Thanks.

[Hubert Boma Manilla (:bomsy)]

Hey Harshil
No you don't need to wait for it to get reviewed.
You can start another patch , probably do hg up central and the hg commit on that when you are done.

Comment 8

[Harshil]

Hey Hubert,
Thank you for the information. When I try to run hg up central I get an error abort: unknown revision 'central'!. I checked the extensions for hg and firefoxtree is configured. Not sure what is wrong here.

I wanted to fix this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1696128 But then ended up looking at this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632030 which is a dupe of the current bug.

I see the current bug had somebody working on it, has a patch but never got merged. Can I pick it up? Will the owner continue? Why was the work paused?

Yes, please, help welcome on this one.

As discussed with @nchevobbe, I can create a new bug to add SourcePreview.

Hi, I'd love to work on this, could it be assigned to me?

@bomsy: are you working on this one? (or should we re-assign?)

Comment 30

[Hubert Boma Manilla (:bomsy)]

I've pinged Fabien in the bug. It's close i think it just needs a rebase to land. If he is not able to complete, i'll complete and land it.

Comment 31

[Fabien Casters [:vaga]]

Hi,

The main bug is fixed by D119782 in Phabricator. (https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D119782)

The two others patchs add the colorscheme in raw HTTP header.
But I catch an another bug in my patch D119761: when we toggle the raw headers, the panel content shifts because CodeMirror take a few milliseconds to build the HTML. There is a video on my comment : https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D119761#3927260
