Lighthouse: Launch Lighthouse Viewer 2.0

[timgupta]

With the new output from the Lighthouse chrome extension, I'm getting an error in the online lighthouse report viewer:
Unknown formatter: url-list

Here's the report I'm trying to view:
https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse/viewer/?gist=9d2eb55e4969527cbfaa76c557ea9755

Thanks for reporting. Viewer needs to be updated to work with 2.0's output. We'll be looking at this soon.

Great thanks! By the way, the new 2.0 output is beautiful! :)

I just encountered this as well, with json output from canary; any workarounds? - alternative viewer or a way to export pre-2.0 json for this viewer, until this is reconciled?

[ebidel]

@emjayess a temporary workaround would be to export the report as json (top right corner sharing button). Then, drag and drop that file onto Chrome Canary's Audit's panel. DevTools will load and display the Lighthouse. You won't get a permalink, but it's something :)

You won't get a permalink, but it's something :)

@ebidel I generated the report in (and saved the json from) canary's audit panel, and specifically am wanting something team-shareable, so I'll eagerly await the 2.0 viewer launch. Meanwhile I've grabbed the lighthouse cli and will be trying the html output of that tool. Thanks!

[ebidel]

Yea, sorry about that. We wanted to get it updated for 2.0, but it slipped.

[emjayess]

• Incidentally, "Save as > Html" in the audit panel might be handy :)

[ebidel]

Tell me about it :) DevTools really just needs to adopt our standard button instead of doing it's own thing:

That dropdown will get an "Open in Viewer" option when we fix this issue. That would also be good for devtools users.

[ebidel]

@brendankenny are you taking this then? Unassign if you're not.

I'm getting it working again, then we can iterate to get it working well again :)

Is there any way to get the LH 1.x format JSON, so it can be shared via the viewer?
