`LOGS (1)` tab seems useless #541

Open jsoref opened 9 months ago

jsoref commented 9 months ago

I can open the results pane and select the logs tab, and I see this:

I can select 154885186 and I can select api.github.com. I have no idea what that number is.

There's also an x for "Close Log", but that doesn't really make sense, because, as an end user, I never "opened" a log.

And as a list, it kind of implies that I could actually open multiple logs concurrently, but it definitely isn't obvious how to do this (I'd love to be able to do that, as I generally have a baseline, a branch, and a PR, so I probably have 4 possible points to imagine if you think about a diamond -- branch point, base for PR, head for branch, merge candidate)

As an end user (and it might take me a while to find that hat, but trust me, it's somewhere lying around), I should not have to guess what a random number is.

Clicking the text doesn't do anything exciting.

I can right click and there's a Cut menu item, which does not function as a Cut menu item:

As a developer (and frankly, at this point, anyone using the SARIF extension probably is), I'd love to see raw http requests and responses (maybe sanitized to omit credentials if that's a concern). As a GitHub Action developer, I'd love to see any GraphQL that's been sent to GitHub and any response to that GraphQL.

If you manually open logs using the folder button at the top right of the pane, you can end up with:

Notes:

  1. I'd love to be able to copy the file path (again, copy does nothing here)
  2. cut is still useless
  3. pasting is still useless -neither pasting the path to a sarif file nor pasting the contents of a sarif file do anything
