Auto-refresh feature of the index page #19

It would be great to have an auto refresh functionally available in the HTML report index page.

Hmm, during the generation of the reports? Yes, this is possible. We can set a timer that refresh infinitely and it stops when we reach the end of the generation.

Would it solve your issue?

jeanmonod commented 8 years ago

Yes, but I will not automatically activate it. Maybe a nice switcher in the top right?

Hywan commented 8 years ago

Why a switcher? Is it something someone would like to disable?

jeanmonod commented 8 years ago

It depends the workflow that you are using. Maybe if we have #22 then it's no more useful. But a workflow I can imagine, is (as a developper):

I run a full audit of a website
I open the report in my browser
I activate the manual auto refresh
I fix the issue page per page, continuously running audit for a single page
With #8 implemented I see my global report getting better and better

Hywan commented 8 years ago

Yup, sounds good!

krtek4 commented 8 years ago

Eventually with a progress bar ?

I think we have two different things here :

Auto-refresh of the index page while the crawler is still running to see new URLs
Continuous auditing of the URLs to display improvements (which can be done for the whole report or on a per URL basis).
