Research direction

Start with plugin-lighthouse/index.js and reproduce the documented Docker command using prueba.js. Trace where the plugin rejects scripting or multiple pages, then define how Lighthouse reports should be produced for each URL in the workflow. Done means the script can run across multiple URLs and generate the requested Lighthouse results without that error.

Description

Feature Request

Description:
I would like to request the ability to integrate Sitespeed.io with Lighthouse using a JavaScript script that handles multiple URLs. Currently, it seems that Lighthouse can only be used on individual URLs and not with scripting/multiple pages, which limits the ability to perform comprehensive performance testing on workflows that span multiple pages.

Use Case:
My use case involves running a script (e.g., prueba.js) that navigates through multiple pages of a web application, performs various actions, and measures performance. I would like to include Lighthouse reports for each of the URLs involved in this script to get detailed performance insights.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Created a script (prueba.js) to navigate through multiple pages:

    module.exports = async function(context, commands) {
      try {
        await commands.measure.start('Tx_login');
        await commands.navigate('https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login');
        await commands.addText.byXpath('Admin', '//input[@placeholder="Username"]');
        await commands.addText.byXpath('admin123', '//input[@placeholder="Password"]');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//button[@type="submit"]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.measure.stop();
        await commands.measure.start('Tx_adminSearch');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//a/span[contains(.,"Admin")]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.click.byXpath('//div[2]/input');
        await commands.addText.byXpath('admin', '//div[2]/input');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//button[@type="submit"]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.scroll.toBottom();
        await commands.measure.stop();
        await commands.measure.start('Tx_consultRecruit');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//a/span[contains(.,"Recruitment")]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.click.byXpath('//i[@class="oxd-icon bi-eye-fill"]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.click.byXpath('//a[contains(.,"Vacancies")]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.measure.stop();
        await commands.measure.start('Tx_directory');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//a/span[contains(.,"Directory")]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.click.byXpath('//span/i');
        await commands.click.byXpath('//a[contains(text(),"Logout")]');
        await commands.wait.byTime(1000);
        await commands.measure.stop();
      } catch (e) {
        // Handle error
      }
    };
    
  2. Executed the script with the following Docker command:

    docker run --rm -v /home/sitespeed:/sitespeed.io sitespeedio/sitespeed.io --plugins.add /sitespeed.io/plugin-lighthouse/index.js prueba.js --multi -n1
    
  3. Received the following message:

    Lighthouse can only be used on URLs and not with scripting/multiple pages at the moment
    

Desired Outcome:
It would be great if there could be an option or plugin to integrate Lighthouse in a way that it can run for multiple URLs specified in a script. This integration would help in automating the performance analysis for workflows involving multiple pages.

Thank you for considering this feature request!
