Motivated by #6410

I was avoiding async events for .. mysterious reasons before. But really these will be overlapping, so it makes more sense to be async.

Overlapping happens in promise.all()s often:

Here's how a few timing traces look now:

const startEvt = {
// 1) Remove 'lh:' for readability
// 2) Colons in user_timing names get special handling in traceviewer we don't want. https://goo.gl/m23Vz7
// Replace with a 'Modifier letter colon' ;)

I feel like I'm missing something.

I only see one call to this method changed with a threadId isn't this basically the same as what was happening before then?

Yeah totally the same as before. trackName => threadId has no functional changes, really. with these new events we can't label the track.
not a huge deal anyway.

thoughts?


I've added support for DevTools Perf panel (via adding a TracingStartedInBrowser evt):

Though note: -G/-A traces are shown in two diff tracks in chrome:tracing but that's not supported in DevTools:

code seems fine to me other than test Q!

expect(consoleError.mock.calls[0][0]).toContain('measures overlap');
it('generates a pair of trace events', () => {
const events = generateTraceEvents([mockEntries[0]]);
expect(events.slice(0, 1)).toMatchSnapshot();

nit: zero duration test cov not hit.

expect(consoleError.mock.calls[0][0]).toContain('measures overlap');
it('generates a pair of trace events', () => {
const events = generateTraceEvents([mockEntries[0]]);
expect(events.slice(0, 1)).toMatchSnapshot();
});

maybe add a note about how threadId is used?

maybe do an explicit .replace(/:/g, '\ua789'), just to make it doubly clear that the character is different?

it feels like doing this should be possible without faking out a browser trace but w/e traceviewer :)

traceviewer wont group these but give each measure its own track otherwise
and devtools needs it to view them.

does -G/A run refer to a "-G or an -A run", or a -GA run or a regular run (that did both gathering and auditing)?
