When troubleshooting complex issues, it is sometimes necessary for Freckle Support to obtain additional information about the network requests that are generated in your browser while an issue occurs. A Freckle engineer may request that you record a HAR file, or a log of network requests, while that issue is occurring and then provide that to them for further analysis.
Here is a brief video showing this process: https://youtu.be/wTExeXu7xN4.
Below are some instructions about how you can easily generate a HAR file using Google Chrome. If you do not already have Google Chrome installed, please download it here and install it.
To generate the HAR file:
- Open Google Chrome and go to the page where the issue is occurring.
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect Element.
- In the panel opens at the bottom of your screen, select the Network tab.
- Look for a round Record button (
) in the upper-left corner of the Network tab, and make sure it is red. If it is gray, select it to start recording.
- Check the Preserve box.
- Select the Clear button ( ) to clear out any existing logs from the Network tab.
- Try to reproduce the issue that you were experiencing before, while the network requests are being recorded.
- Once you have reproduced the issue, right-click anywhere on the grid of network requests in the panel at the bottom of your screen, select Save as HAR with Content, and save the file to your computer.
- Send the HAR file to us at freckle-support@renaissance.com.
In rare cases the file might be too large for an email attachment, in which case your options are to: (a) compress the file and send it to us at the email above, or (b) upload the file to Google Drive or Dropbox and send us a link to it.
