Principle of the tool

This tool simulates running the extension on specified pages opened in Chromium through Puppeteer to retrieve the results.

The cache system is deactivated to make the analysis of a page more reliable.

Depending on the pages to be analyzed, it may be necessary to set up a condition to wait for the page to finish loading (see the paragraph Construction of the input file of analysis).

To start

To use the tool, you must first check the prerequisites and complete the installation steps.

Two different ways to use it :

Either through a manual installation of Node.js
Either through Docker

Node.js

Prerequisites

Node.js

Installation

Get the source code:

git clone https://github.com/cnumr/GreenIT-Analysis-cli.git

Position yourself in the GreenIT-Analysis-cli directory :

cd GreenIT-Analysis-cli

Install NPM packages :

npm install

Create the symbolic link to facilitate the use of the tool :

npm link

Docker

Prerequisites

Docker

Installation

Create the /<path>/input folder which will allow you to make the <url_input_file> file available to the container :

mkdir -p /<path>/input

Allow all users to read in the /<path>/input folder :

chmod 755 /<path>/input

Create the /<path>/output folder which will allow you to retrieve the reports generated by the container :

mkdir -p /<path>/output

Allow all users to write to the /<path>/output folder :

chmod 777 /<path>/output

Get the source code :

git clone https://github.com/cnumr/GreenIT-Analysis-cli.git

Position yourself in the GreenIT-Analysis-cli directory :

cd GreenIT-Analysis-cli

Build the Docker image :

docker build -t greenit-analysis-cli .

⚠️ If you are on MacOS, you must run the command with the option --platform=linux/amd64 :

docker build --platform=linux/amd64 -t greenit-analysis-cli .

Configure a proxy

If you need to configure a proxy, you must:

Edit the Dockerfile

# Uncomment if you need to configure the proxy.
# You can init these variables by using --build-arg during the docker build
# Example : docker build [...] --build-arg http_proxy=http://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>
ENV HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
ENV HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy
ENV NO_PROXY=$no_proxy

[...]

# Uncomment if you need to configure the proxy.
#RUN npm config set proxy $HTTP_PROXY

Build the image by passing proxy information as parameters

Example :

docker build -t greenit-analysis-cli \
  --build-arg http_proxy=http://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port> \
  --build-arg https_proxy=https://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port> \
  --build-arg no_proxy=<no_proxy> \
  .

Usage

Analysis

Construction of the input file

Construct the file <url_input_file> which lists the URLs to analyze. The file is in YAML format.

Sa structure est la suivante :

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
`url`	string	Yes	URL of the page to analyze
`name`	string	No	Name of the page to analyze displayed in the report
`waitForSelector`	string	No	Waits for the HTML element defined by the CSS selector to be visible
`waitForXPath`	string	No	Waits for the HTML element defined by the CSS selector to be visible
`waitForNavigation`	string	No	Waits for the page to finish loading. 4 possible values: `load`, `domcontentloaded`, `networkidle0`, `networkidle2`
`waitForTimeout`	int	No	Wait X ms, X being equal to the value of the parameter
`screenshot`	string	No	Takes a screenshot of the page to analyze. The value to enter is the name of the screenshot. The screenshot is taken even if the page loads in error.
`actions`	list	No	Perform a series of actions before analyzing the page

Waiting conditions

The waitForNavigation parameter uses Puppeteer features to detect the end of loading a page without using a CSS selector or an XPath :

load : considers navigation to be complete when the load event is triggered.
domcontentloaded : considers navigation to be complete when the DOMContentLoaded event is triggered.
networkidle0 : considers browsing to be complete when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least 500 ms.
networkidle2 : considers browsing to be complete when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms.

More details here: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/api/index.md

By default, if none of the waitFor type parameters are defined, then the tool considers that navigation is complete when the load event is triggered.

Example of url.yaml file :

# Analyzes the URL collective.greenit.fr
- name : "GreenIT.fr collective"
  url : "https://collectif.greenit.fr/"

# Parses the URL collective.greenit.fr/outil.html by specifying a wait condition via a CSS selector
# Take a screenshot of the page
- name : "The tools of the GreenIT.fr collective"
  url : "https://collectif.greenit.fr/outils.html"
  waitForSelector: "#header"
  screenshot: "output/screenshots/outils.png"

# Parses the URL collective.greenit.fr/index_en.html by specifying a wait condition via an XPath
- url : "https://collectif.greenit.fr/index_en.html"
  waitForXPath: "//section[2]/div/h2"

Actions

Actions allow you to define a more complex user journey before launching the analysis.

It is possible to define a list of actions through the actions field which is of a list type. The form of an action is as follows :

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
`name`	string	No	No action
`type`	string	Yes	Action type: `click`, `press`, `scroll`, `select`, `text`
`element`	string	No	Element of the DOM on which the action must be executed. CSS selector type
`pageChange`	boolean	No	If `true`, indicates that the action triggers a page change. Allows you to have a calculation of indicators dedicated to the new page. Default value: `false`.
`timeoutBefore`	string	No	Time to stop before executing the action (in milliseconds). Default value: 1000
`waitForSelector`	string	No	Waits for the HTML element defined by the CSS selector to be visible
`waitForXPath`	string	No	Waits for the HTML element defined by the XPath to be visible
`waitForNavigation`	string	No	Waits for the page to finish loading. 4 possible values: `load`, `domcontentloaded`, `networkidle0`, `networkidle2`
`waitForTimeout`	int	No	Wait X ms, X being equal to the value of the parameter
`screenshot`	string	No	Take a screenshot of the page, after performing the action. The value to enter is the name of the screenshot. The screenshot is taken even if the action is in error.

Conditions of type waitFor can be reused to define a wait condition after the execution of the action. They remain optional. The screenshot, if applicable, is taken after this wait condition.

Additional parameters may be necessary depending on the type of action.

Use with Docker

Drop the <url_input_file> file into the /<path>/input folder.
Start the analysis:

docker run -it --init --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
  -v /<path>/input:/app/input \
  -v /<path>/output:/app/output  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  --name GreenIT-Analysis \
  greenit-analysis-cli

📝 Note: You must set the environment variable TZ to define your timezone in order to correctly display dates in reports. Example of timezone: TZ=Europe/Paris.

💡 Tip: in order to view the screenshots taken by the tool, you can either save them in the /app/output folder and thus benefit from the existing mount point, or create a mount point dedicated to screenshots.

Get the results in your /<path>/output folder

Redefine the `URL_PATH` and `RESULTS_PATH` variables

You can redefine the URL_PATH and RESULTS_PATH variables if you want to change the file names or their locations.

Example :

docker run -it --init --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
  -v /<path>/input:/app/input \
  -v /<path>/output:/app/output  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  -e "URL_PATH=/app/input/myapp_url.yaml" \
  -e "RESULTS_PATH=/app/output/results_20210101.xlsx" \
  --name GreenIT-Analysis \
  greenit-analysis-cli

Override CMD instruction defined in Dockerfile

You can override the command entered by default in the Dockerfile.

Example :

docker run -it --init --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
  -v /<path>/input:/app/input \
  -v /<path>/output:/app/output  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  --name GreenIT-Analysis \
  greenit-analysis-cli \
  greenit analyse /app/input/url.yaml /app/output/results.xlsx --max_tab=1 --timeout=15000 --retry=5

Start scanning with proxy configuration

You can drop the proxy.yaml file in the /<path>/input folder and launch the container:

docker run -it --init --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
  -v /<path>/input:/app/input \
  -v /<path>/output:/app/output  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  --name GreenIT-Analysis \
  greenit-analysis-cli \
  greenit analyse /app/input/url.yaml /app/output/results.xlsx --proxy=/app/input/proxy.yaml

Report formats

Excel (xlsx)

Prerequisites:

Either the following parameter is defined: --format=xlsx or -f=xlsx
Either the output file must have the extension .xlsx

Example:

greenit analyse /app/input/url.yaml /app/output/results.xlsx --format=xlsx

The Excel report is composed of:

A tab representing the overall report: average of the ecoindex of all URLs analyzed, priority URLs to correct, priority rules to correct, etc.
A tab per URL analyzed: the ecoindex of the URL and its indicators used to calculate it, the indicators of water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the table of good practices, . ..

Example of a report:

Global tab:

Tab for an analyzed URL :

HTML

Prerequisites:

Either the following parameter is defined: --format=html or -f=html
Either the output file must have the extension .html

Example:

greenit analyse /app/input/url.yaml /app/output/global.html --format=html

The HTML report is composed:

One page summary: number of scenarios analyzed, number of errors, summary table of the scenarios analyzed with their associated indicators (ecoindex, water, GHG, number of best practices to be implemented). A scenario begins with the opening of a web page via its URL, then performs a certain number of actions which could possibly lead to the opening of another page. To access the detailed report of an analyzed scenario, simply click on the scenario name. A summary table of best practices not respected (in at least 1 scenario) is also present.
One page per scenario analyzed: total number of HTTP requests, size and weight of the pages analyzed, as well as a table detailing page by page, and action by action, indicators such as the ecoindex and its indicators used to calculate it, the indicators of water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the table of good best practices, etc.

Example of a report:

Global page:

Page for a parsed URL:

InfluxDB/Grafana

Prerequisites:

The following parameter is defined: --format=influxdb or -f=influxdb

The data will be sent to influxdb.

A docker-compose.yml with an example configuration of influxdb and grafana is present in the project. When using for the first time, a few setup steps are necessary:

Change the username/password pairs in the .env file (optional);
Start the influxdb container: docker-compose up greenit-cli-influxdb;
Connect to influxdb (http://localhost:8086 by default) to retrieve the organization id (in the url after connecting http://localhost:8086/orgs/<org id> ) and the connection-token (data -> API Token), and fill in the corresponding environment variables;
It is then possible to start the grafana container and send the data to influxdb.

These steps will not be necessary again. However, it will be necessary to restart at least the influxdb container before a test.

Example of use :

greenit analyse exampleUrl.yaml --format=influxdb --influxdb_hostname http://localhost:8086 --influxdb_org organisation --influxdb_token token --influxdb_bucket db0

Example of a grafana dashboard for a scenario and an action:

InfluxDB/Grafana + HTML

Prerequisites:

The following parameter is defined: --format=influxdbhtml or -f=influxdbhtml

This parameter allows you to send the data to InfluxDB, view it in Grafana, and generate an HTML report.

The particularity of this option is found in the generated HTML report: an additional column is displayed in the overall page to consult the evolution over time of the indicators of a page by redirecting to the Grafana board.

greenit analyse exampleUrl.yaml --format=influxdb --influxdb_hostname http://localhost:8086 --influxdb_org organization --influxdb_token token --influxdb_bucket db0

Global page of the HTML report generated with the influxdbhtml option:

ParseSiteMap

greenit parseSitemap <sitemap_url> <yaml_output_file>

Mandatory parameters:

sitemap_url: URL of the sitemap to transform.
yaml_output_file: Path to the output file. (Default value: "url.yaml")

General flags

--ci: Log in the traditional way to ensure compatibility with CI environments.
