I am working on HTML page and using angular js.
I Want to see how many records my database collection has in run-time.
Is there any way to trace it, like we debug Java class.
You can set break point by using Chrome dev tool.
Open Chrome Dev Tool (Press F12)
Click Sources Tab
Select your JS file from left panel
Click on the line no to set the breakpoint
No..I think it's not available like u want to see data.
But u can do debug through the browser by inspecting elements.and My suggestion is to write business logic in ur language (C#,java....)and make service.And consume from client side.There u can debug easily.
In client side usually, we get an error in syntax or library compatibility.
You can debug all your JavaScript code using developer tools in Chrome for example and its debug functionality.
IDE like VSCode has also a built-in functionality for debugging JavaScript code directly from the IDE for example.
Then if your question is to see live your database from the browser. Nope, you cannot do that. There is nothing related between a front-end application and the connected database directly from the browser.
Then maybe there are few chrome extensions which could allow you to connect to your db and see real time it. But this is not a built-in feature.

Can I manually disconnect a chrome window from refreshing automatically when I change my code.
Basically I want to disconnect the websocket connection using devtool or some other way. I tried offline checkbox, but its not helping.
This will come handy for a HTML developer for him to compare the HTML changes done from a developer tool and to the original one.
Right-click the WS connection in the Network panel then select Block Request URL. Based on the websocket.org echo demo, it seems to provide the effect you're looking for.
Have you tried setting the hot module reload to false? There is mention of it in the docs.
I am trying to select a printer and print on chrome browser, using pywinauto, but I am not able to access the gui components. I can see the components in Microsoft Inspect.exe in UIAutomation mode. (See screenshot).
I have started chrome with --force-renderer-accessibility flag.
I tried several things but I am not able to access anything in the chrome window. Is it possible to access the chrome gui components using pywinauto?

Probably you use default backend="win32" which is used when you call Application(). To use MS UI Automation you have to set backend="uia" when instantiating Application object:
app = Application(backend='uia').start('chrome.exe <other params>')
My student wrote example script dragging file from explorer.exe to Google Drive in Chrome. Is it working for you?
P.S. If you already use backend='uia', please provide more detailed description with some code and output.
I'd like to be able to send info to the Chrome developer console from my application.
For example, my app has some json. I'd like this json to show up in either an existing, or newly created instance of the chrome dev tools console.
Is this possible? If so, any pointers to examples? Note that the platform should be any language, not just javascript. And definitely not a site already running in Chrome. I'm interested in implementing this in another process.
Do you thought of running your app in an environment which is pretty much like a browser?
Node.js
or (this is a whole webkit browser)
phantom.js
Otherwise you could call Chrome directly via commandline and try to simulate the dev tools key stroke like explained here:
Is there a command line argument in Chrome to start the developer tools on startup?
The command of displaying something in the Chrome console is e.g. console.log and it is at the end Javascript. All Console commands are described here:
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/console-api
The closest I've seen so far is this library:
https://github.com/ccampbell/chromelogger
which seems to allow logging to the Chrome Console from lots of other server side apis, but no desktop APIs.
This can be done on Mac using osascript. Save the following as a script and run it:
#!/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript
var chrome = Application('Google Chrome');
//chrome.activate();
chrome.includeStandardAdditions = true;
var currentTab = chrome.windows[0].activeTab()
currentTab.execute({javascript: 'console.log("Hello")'})
I have an unattended touch screen kiosk application which needs to be able to automatically reload the browser home page after a network outage has occurred. At the moment the browser will display an "Unable to connect to the internet" error and will wait for a manual reload to be carried out before proceeding. Can this be automated?
I've searched for plugins and have found some plugins which deal with auto-reload but they don't seem to work in this context. I am guessing that the plugin is only active when a page is loaded so in this case with an error condition, perhaps the plugin is not active.
One alternative might be to override the error page which is displayed by Chrome but I don't know if this is possible. I could then instantiate a Javascript timer to try a reload every n seconds for example. Is this possible?
I saw a suggestion to use frames to allow the outer frame (which is never refreshed) to keep trying the loading of an inner frame but I'm not keen to use frames unless there is no alternative. I also saw a suggestion to use AJAX calls to check if the network was working before attempting a page load but this seems overkill if there is a way to correct the error only when it has occurred rather than pre-empt an error for every page load.
Host system is Windows 7 by the way. I'm keen to keep the browser running if possible rather than kill and create a new browser process.
If you don't want to tackle chrome extension development, you could wrap your site in an iframe, and then periodically refresh the iframe from the parent frame. That way you don't need to worry about OS issues.
if the content were loaded from ajax from the start then the it could simply output a custom message on the page as it does a check via AJAX. Probably prevention over remedy is always recommended
Assuming linux, you could create an ifup script to simply relaunch the browser with something like
#!/bin/sh
killall google-chrome
DISPLAY=:0 google-chrome
On debian/ubuntu, edit /etc/network/interfaces to include a post-up line; Google ifupdown for other distros.
On windows, you'd do roughly the same with a PowerShell script.
If you really want the precise behaviour you describe (without restarting the whole browser), I suggest you develop a plugin/extension: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/getstarted.html
I know you are using Chrome, but in Firefox this is trivial by overriding the netError.xhtml page to do a setTimeout(location.reload, 10000);.
Okay, so I'm a student programmer in my college's IT department, and I'm doing browser compatibility for a web form my boss wrote. I need the user to be able to open a local file from a shared drive with a single click.
The problem is that Firefox and Chrome don't allow that for security reasons. Thus, I'm trying to write a custom protocol of my own to open an address in Internet Explorer regardless of the browser being used.
Can anyone help me with this? I'd also be willing to try an alternative solution to the problem.
The below worked for me, is this what you mean?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\foo]
#="URL: foo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\foo\DefaultIcon]
#="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\foo\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\foo\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\foo\shell\open\command]
#="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe \"%1\""
Just to note, I'm running Win7Pro, so you may have to move around file path(s) to conform to your environment.
And if that doesn't work, create a proxy between the protocol and the browser, pass the argument(s) from foo:// to that, parse what's necessary, then hand it off to IE using start iexplorer.exe "args".
I'm unsure whether I understand your question, if it is how do I open local files using chrome/firefox, this is your anwser:
First a disclaimer, I have never done this and cannot vouch for the accuracy of my response
IE
Microsoft's security model is pretty fail so you can go right ahead and open these files
FireFox
Some quick googling found that Firefox can do this after either editing prefs.js as outlined here or installing an addon called LocalLink
Chrome
Practically impossible due to its security, until now when locallink was ported to chrome.
