I am using the code in Test.java but when running this code, i am getting an exception:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: log type 'performance' not found

Hi Anky1987,

Did you find any solution. I too am getting the same error?
Thanks
Puneesh

@klepikov is it possible to add the capability to an existing webdriver in the middle of a test? I'm trying to figure out how to log a specific page load, and not the whole workflow. (eg. we have to login to access our app, and i don't want to time the login, and landing page load).

The upload to a WebPagetest instance is somewhat easier now. You can do a post to /import.php and it will return a test ID. There is also a UI on /import.php for testing it out (post fields are the same as the form fields in the UI).

Issue "org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: log type 'performance' not found" has been fixed refer this thread

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8457#c10

Thanks for the post.. very valuable. I am getting one issue with the above code.
"unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32601,"message":"'Timeline.start' wasn't found"}".
Any idea? thanks in advance.

@klepikov Could you please be so kind and provide demo example of submitting performance logs to WebPageTest in Python?

@klepikov: I run your code. Performance record type appears to only include network activity. I am more interested in client CPU activity. I tried to change code by adding adding/enabling timeline but still got only Network activity records.
Could you please suggest how to retrieve client CPU activity.

Map<String, Object> perfLogPrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
perfLogPrefs.put("traceCategories", "browser,devtools.timeline,devtools"); // comma-separated trace categories
perfLogPrefs.put("enableTimeline", true);

@klepikov: Could you please be so kind and provide demo example of submitting performance logs to WebPageTest in Python?

Could you please provide the demo example of submitting performance logs to WebPageTest using C# with Selenium?
Also is it possible to download the HAR file from WebPageTest using Logging API(REST call) with C#?

am trying to extract the browser console logs for my tests which are running on standalone-chrome-debug container on different server. I do not get the logs when in run on docker container.

However when i run the same test on my local machine with chrome driver, the logs are getting extracted as expected. Does any one has idea if we can extract the browser console logs for the test running on docker container.

Following way i am trying to achieve this.

   logPrefs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.ALL);


    public LogEntries getBrowserConsoleLogs() {
        return driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
    }```

Can someone help me understand in the WebPageTest what is the baseURL? and the location? because i get the below error while running
Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1]
