View trace not available on programatically executed lighthouse about lighthouse HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for the response, I think this is not part bug fix but could you please share how could I get the trace as an artifact.

flow.createArtifactsJson(), grab the step you want, it's called Trace.

Would it be right for us to convert this to a feature instead of bug ?

We could theoretically add a link to trace.cafe from the report, but that means making the trace part of the LHR and its far too large to do that. Or preemptively uploading to trace.cafe with a short expiry, but that would have to be opt-in, and even then I don't know if @paulirish is set up for that much data. Will extracting the trace programmatically and manually uploading to trace.cafe be sufficient for you?

The trace is one of the artifacts, you can grab it if you like.

The view trace button is only available in devtools because it uses the performance panel to view the trace.

Hi Connor,

Thanks for the response, I think this is not part bug fix but could you please share how could I get the trace as an artifact.

In regards to the feature request, I have seen the feature of opening trace file directly in the performance tab. https://trace.cafe/
