RecordDA / Tool++ — Extension Summary Purpose A Chrome extension (Manifest V3) for capturing browser debugging sessions and uploading them to a Report Portal backend (reportsv1.best-quality.in). When recording, it captures screen video, network traffic, and console logs, then bundles and uploads them as a reviewable "record" tied to a project. Core Capabilities Screen recording — captures tab/screen video (WebM) via an offscreen document using DISPLAY_MEDIA. Network capture (HAR) — attaches the Chrome Debugger (CDP) to the active tab, records all HTTP/HTTPS requests/responses (headers, bodies, timings), and builds a HAR 1.2 file. Console capture — via a separate CDP listener, collects console.* calls, uncaught exceptions (Runtime.exceptionThrown), and browser-level entries (Log.entryAdded), exported as a plain-text .txt log. Upload & record creation — uploads video, HAR, and console files to the backend, creates a record (with the file names stored in networkLogs and consoleLogs), then opens the new record in a browser tab. Architecture background.js (service worker) — the engine. Handles token retrieval, debugger attach/capture, HAR/console builders, all uploads, record creation, and recording state. Communicates with the UI via chrome.runtime messages (checkLogin, start, stop, setProject, get-state). content-script.js — runs only on reportsv1.best-quality.in. Reads the auth token from the page's localStorage and mirrors it into chrome.storage.local (rpToken), polling so it's captured right after login and made available to every tab. offscreen.js / offscreen.html — performs the actual media recording (service workers can't access getDisplayMedia). Popup UI — exists in two parallel implementations: vanilla JS (screen.js → loginscreen.js / popupPage.js / newtab.js, which is what popup.html actually loads) and an alternate React version (*.jsx). Shows login, the recorder (Start/Stop, duration, project dropdown), or a "switch to a real tab" message. Authentication The extension never logs in itself — it reuses your existing Report Portal session token (read from localStorage, cached in chrome.storage.local) as a Bearer token for all backend calls. The token survives across tabs and service-worker restarts. Key Flows Login gate → checks for a valid token; if missing, prompts you to open Report Portal and sign in. Project selection → verifyLogin returns your assigned projects; a dropdown lets you pick which project a recording uploads to (persisted). Tab guard → if the active tab is a New Tab / chrome:// / extension / about:blank page, the popup shows a message instead of the recorder (nothing to capture). Record → Stop → Upload → captures stop, files upload, a record is created, and its URL opens in a new tab. Permissions debugger (network + console capture), tabs (active tab detection, token read, opening records), downloads (local ZIP export), offscreen (screen recording), storage (token/state/prefs), alarms (keep-alive). Host permissions: reportsv1.best-quality.in and a local dev endpoint. Data Handling Captured data (video, network payloads, console output) is uploaded to the Report Portal server and stored under your account/project — it does not stay purely local. This data can contain sensitive information from the pages you record, so it should only be used on pages you're authorized to capture. (Note: the published privacy policy was recently updated to reflect this.)
