New script commands and capabilities
It's been a busy week in the Pagetest scripting engine....
First, I finally added support for combining multiple script steps into a single sequence (particularly necessary for doing a video comparison of multiple steps): http://www.webperformancecentral.com/wik...mbineSteps Here is a test that merges loading Google then Yahoo then AOL: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/101211...87f429fd5/ Along with a filmstrip for good measure: http://www.webpagetest.org/video/compare...d5-r:1-c:0 This is the script: Code: combineSteps Next (and I'm REALLY excited about this one), I have created a Javascript interface into Pagetest that page code can talk to. Right now there are only 2 methods but this opens up a lot of future possibilities: The two methods are: window.webpagetest.done() - If WebPagetest is running a script that tells it to wait for JS done this will end the test (see below) window.webpagetest.message("message string") - This will send a timestamped message to the browser status messages (visible at the bottom of the screen shot page) I have a sample page at http://www.patrickmeenan.com/test/dom/test.html that sends a message to the status window, sets a 15 second timer and then in the timer routine sends another message and calls done() Here is what the result looks like: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/101210...afae1306f/ (notice the 15 second fully loaded time). The messages that were logged from the javascript are visible here: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/101210...reen_shot/ (scroll to the status messages below the screen shots). The script command to force the test to wait is "waitForJSDone". Here is the script that I used for the test: Code: waitForJSDone |

What would be nice is to also incorporate these into the waterfall charts(vertical lines)... so we can specify when exactly the page was "usable" , etc... cdnplanet.com: We help you select the right CDN |

RE: New script commands and capabilities
Ahh, great minds.... I don't think I'll do full lines but I'm considering markers at the top of the waterfall to indicate the messages and when you hover you would get the message text. If I get a chance you should see something live before the end of the week :-)

Does the window.webpagetest.message function still exist? I'm not seeing the messages on the screenshot page. |

Not with the newer browsers. I report console.log for Chrome and there are plans to add it for the other browsers as well.
