# Actions DAP Debugger - Browser Extension
|
||||
|
||||
A Chrome extension that enables interactive debugging of GitHub Actions workflows directly in the browser. Connects to the runner's DAP server via a WebSocket proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Variable Inspection**: Browse workflow context variables (`github`, `env`, `steps`, etc.)
|
||||
- **REPL Console**: Evaluate expressions and run shell commands
|
||||
- **Step Control**: Step forward, step back, continue, and reverse continue
|
||||
- **GitHub Integration**: Debugger pane injects directly into the job page
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start the WebSocket Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
The proxy bridges WebSocket connections from the browser to the DAP TCP server.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd browser-ext/proxy
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
node proxy.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The proxy listens on `ws://localhost:4712` and connects to the DAP server at `tcp://localhost:4711`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Load the Extension in Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
|
||||
2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top right)
|
||||
3. Click "Load unpacked"
|
||||
4. Select the `browser-ext` directory
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Start a Debug Session
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to your GitHub repository
|
||||
2. Navigate to Actions and select a workflow run
|
||||
3. Click "Re-run jobs" → check "Enable debug logging"
|
||||
4. Wait for the runner to display "DAP debugger waiting for connection..."
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Connect the Extension
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to the job page (`github.com/.../actions/runs/.../job/...`)
|
||||
2. Click the extension icon in Chrome toolbar
|
||||
3. Click "Connect"
|
||||
4. The debugger pane will appear above the first workflow step
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Variable Browser (Left Panel)
|
||||
|
||||
Click on scope names to expand and view variables:
|
||||
- **Globals**: `github`, `env`, `runner` contexts
|
||||
- **Job Outputs**: Outputs from previous jobs
|
||||
- **Step Outputs**: Outputs from previous steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Console (Right Panel)
|
||||
|
||||
Enter expressions or commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Evaluate expressions
|
||||
${{ github.ref }}
|
||||
${{ github.event_name }}
|
||||
${{ env.MY_VAR }}
|
||||
|
||||
# Run shell commands (prefix with !)
|
||||
!ls -la
|
||||
!cat package.json
|
||||
!env | grep GITHUB
|
||||
|
||||
# Modify variables
|
||||
!export MY_VAR=new_value
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Control Buttons
|
||||
|
||||
| Button | Action | Description |
|
||||
|--------|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| ⏮ | Reverse Continue | Go back to first checkpoint |
|
||||
| ◀ | Step Back | Go to previous checkpoint |
|
||||
| ▶ | Continue | Run until next breakpoint/end |
|
||||
| ⏭ | Step (Next) | Step to next workflow step |
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Browser Extension ──WebSocket──► Proxy ──TCP──► Runner DAP Server
|
||||
(port 4712) (port 4711)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The WebSocket proxy handles DAP message framing (Content-Length headers) and provides a browser-compatible connection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Proxy Settings
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|
||||
|---------------------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `WS_PORT` | 4712 | WebSocket server port |
|
||||
| `DAP_HOST` | 127.0.0.1 | DAP server host |
|
||||
| `DAP_PORT` | 4711 | DAP server port |
|
||||
|
||||
Or use CLI arguments:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node proxy.js --ws-port 4712 --dap-host 127.0.0.1 --dap-port 4711
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extension Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Click the extension popup to configure:
|
||||
- **Proxy Host**: Default `localhost`
|
||||
- **Proxy Port**: Default `4712`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Failed to connect to DAP server"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the proxy is running: `node proxy.js`
|
||||
2. Ensure the runner is waiting for a debugger connection
|
||||
3. Check that debug logging is enabled for the job
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugger pane doesn't appear
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify you're on a job page (`/actions/runs/*/job/*`)
|
||||
2. Open DevTools and check for console errors
|
||||
3. Reload the page after loading the extension
|
||||
|
||||
### Variables don't load
|
||||
|
||||
1. Wait for the "stopped" event (status shows PAUSED)
|
||||
2. Click on a scope to expand it
|
||||
3. Check the console for error messages
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Modifying the Extension
|
||||
|
||||
After making changes:
|
||||
1. Go to `chrome://extensions/`
|
||||
2. Click the refresh icon on the extension card
|
||||
3. Reload the GitHub job page
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
- **Background script**: Inspect via `chrome://extensions/` → "Inspect views: service worker"
|
||||
- **Content script**: Use DevTools on the GitHub page
|
||||
- **Proxy**: Watch terminal output for message logs
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Note
|
||||
|
||||
The proxy and extension are designed for local development. The proxy only accepts connections from localhost. Do not expose the proxy to the network without additional security measures.
