DartLog 0.2.0

DartLog 0.2.0

DartLog records every HTTP request your Flutter app makes while you develop and keeps it by app and by day, in a dashboard on your own computer. This release adds app logs next to requests, a waterfall view, duplicate call detection, a mock server, version comparison, notes and share packs, JSON search, OpenAPI export, terminal commands and a VS Code sidebar, plus safer masking defaults.

Install or update

Already have DartLog? Run the installer again. Your history and settings are kept:

python3 setup.py update

New install, macOS / Linux

curl -fsSLO https://github.com/Manish1Pandey/dartlog-releases/releases/latest/download/setup.py
python3 setup.py

New install, Windows (PowerShell)

iwr https://github.com/Manish1Pandey/dartlog-releases/releases/latest/download/setup.py -OutFile setup.py
python setup.py

The installer downloads the right file below, checks its SHA-256, sets up PostgreSQL, starts DartLog in the background and opens the dashboard. Full guide in the README.

New

• 🌊 Waterfall: see a day's requests (or one app run) as bars on a timeline. Calls that run in parallel, slow chains, idle gaps, failures and duplicate calls stand out at a glance. Zoom, scroll, hover a bar for details, click it to open the request. Works with the keyboard, and has a table view for screen readers.

• 💻 Terminal commands: dartlog apps, dartlog requests, dartlog show and dartlog stats answer from your terminal, with the same filters as the dashboard (app, day, method, status, host, search) and --json for scripts. dartlog show <id> --curl gives a ready-to-run cURL command. See the command line guide.

• 🧩 VS Code sidebar (extension 0.4.0): a DartLog panel lists today's requests of the app you are debugging and updates by itself. Click one to read it in an editor tab; copy it as cURL or as a URL, or open it in the dashboard. Filter the list or show only errors. While you debug, the status bar counts today's requests and errors. New users don't even need the terminal: the extension offers Install DartLog and runs the installer for them.

• 🔒 Test masking: in Settings → Masking, paste a URL, headers or a JSON body and see exactly what DartLog would store. Add your own sensitive keys per app (for example national_id) and they are masked too.

• ✅ First-run checklist: until the first request arrives, the Overview shows four steps (DartLog running, phone connected, app running in debug, first request) that tick themselves off, with a hint for whatever is missing.

• 📤 dartlog export saves an app's day as HAR or JSON through the running DartLog, and accepts today and yesterday.

• 📜 Logs timeline: while DartLog is attached, it also records what your app prints and logs, and its crashes with their stack traces. A Logs page shows them on one timeline with the requests, so you can follow "this tap → these requests → this exception". Filter by level, search, and jump to the logs around any request.

• 🔁 Duplicate calls: DartLog spots the same call fired twice within a second (a rebuild, a double tap, two widgets loading the same data) and shows how much time it wasted. A Duplicate calls card on the day page, a "dup" badge on repeated rows, and an Insights tile. Calls with different bodies (such as GraphQL queries) don't count.

• 🎭 Mock server: make your debug app get fake answers (an error, a slow reply, a dropped connection) built from a real recorded request in one click. Off until you switch it on, and only your own computer can reach it. See the mocking guide.

• 🆚 Compare versions: pick two versions of your app and see which endpoints got slower, started failing, are new or disappeared.

• ⭐ Notes and share packs: star requests, tag them and write notes. Export chosen requests as a .dartlog file that is always masked, and send it to a teammate, who can open it in their own DartLog.

• 🔎 JSON search and saved searches: find requests by what is inside their JSON, for example $.data.user.id == 42, and save any set of filters under a name to reuse in one click.

• 📄 OpenAPI export: generate an OpenAPI description of the API your app actually calls, from recorded traffic, with example values always masked.

Improved

• 📊 The numbers on a day's page now follow the list's filters, so you can see the error rate or slowest calls of just one host or one endpoint. The whole day's totals stay on a line underneath.

• 🧭 Clicking an insight on the all-apps or project page opens the list of the app it belongs to.

• 🔒 New installs turn masking on explicitly, and every page shows a clear banner if masking is off. Updating keeps the choice you already made.

• 🧩 The VS Code extension has clearer settings and a new look in the Extensions view, with two new settings: how often the sidebar refreshes and how many requests it shows.

• 📚 New beginner guides: your first day, finding a bug, the waterfall, insights, masking, VS Code, the terminal, phones, and updating and backups.

• ⚡ Faster stats on busy days, and searches no longer slow down when repeated.

Fixed

• Clock times are shown in the server's timezone, the same as the days.

• The status breakdown counts 1xx responses (such as WebSocket upgrades).

• Compare: sizes and durations look like the request list, the compare checkbox no longer covers the device and status, and the day list keeps its scroll position when you come back.

• A replayed request stays in the project or all-apps view you started from.

• A cut-off (truncated) body is marked at the top of the body view.

• A clear message when an app id has no recorded traffic.

• The all-apps item in the sidebar is named after the day shown; notification settings hints wrap instead of being cut off.

• Security hardening: VS Code's "Copy as cURL", tooltips and request tabs handle unusual URLs and text safely; terminal output escapes control characters; the installer's wget download stays on HTTPS.

• Stats for busy days undercounted endpoints with IDs in their paths; the numbers are now exact.

• Requests are no longer recorded twice when an app uses both dartlog_client and auto-attach.

• Saved searches are kept when you restore a backup.

• The day's status bar is drawn again, and pages reflow at large text sizes instead of cutting words off.
