Troubleshooting

Generate a HAR file

The Hannon Hill Support Team may request that you generate a HAR file as part of a support investigation. Below we'll outline the steps to do this in Firefox, although the steps are very similar in other browsers:

  • Navigate to the area of the CMS where the problem is occurring
  • Open the Firefox Application Menu (top right of the browser)
  • Click More Tools -> Web Developer Tools (or right-click anywhere in the page and click Inspect)
  • Once the developer tools appear, switch to the Network tab
  • In the developer tools area, click the Clear icon (the trash can icon) to remove any network requests currently listed
  • Perform the action in the CMS that is resulting in an error or otherwise causing problems

At this point, the Network area will be populated with a number of requests as a result of the action.

  • Right-click anywhere in the Network area (on any request) and select Save all as HAR
  • Give the file a name that makes sense and Save
CAUTION: HAR files may contain sensitive data including passwords, keys, and other items. We recommend taking additional steps before making HAR files available to others:
  • Open the HAR file in a text editor on your machine
  • Review the contents for any sensitive information and remove/redact as needed
  • Save the file
