report generated from Lighthouse command line does not contain user timing marks and measures

Lighthouse version: 4.2.0 NPM version: 6.4.1 Node version: 10.13.0 NG version: 6.2.8

Provide the steps to reproduce

1. run lighthouse from command line to generate performance report on http://localhost:4200/boc-operations/edit/15001900007 lighthouse http://localhost:4200/boc-operations/edit/15001900007 --port 59020 --output json --output-path=perf-moi-list.json --preset=perf --view --throttling-method provided --disable-storage-reset true --emulated-form-factor desktop --max-wait-for-load 5000

What is the current behavior?

in the generated report, user timing marks and measures in my applications are missing. However, the report generated from running Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools contains the marks and measures.

What is the expected behavior?

I have following code in my component window.performance.mark('product-list-init') the report should contain the user timing item such as: { "name": "product-list-init", "startTime": 578.116, "timingType": "Mark" }

Glad you figured it out! max-wait-for-load at 5000 is very short. It means “hey lighthouse, it doesn’t matter if the page looks like it still needs to load, give up after 5s of waiting and start auditing anyway”.

It sounds like this is the total opposite of what you want, so I’m not sure what prompted that argument but you should definitely make that number larger. If you want to wait even longer, then you can create a custom config and in the defaultPass set the pauseAfterLoadMs to some high number such that you are sure the page is done loading.

@patrickhulce from the rendering path of the report, I am sure the report is NOT on the login page, but on the specified page. I can also see when lighthouse is running, it does log in and navigate to the specified page. Actually, after a close look at the report from CLI, I saw the difference: the page was not fully loaded when lighthouse is complete. that was why the marks are not included in the report. so the question is: I set the --max-wait-for-load as 5000 to wait for Login page to done with loading, how to set another wait time for the specified page to be done loading so that lighthouse won’t complete before the page is done loading? Thanks very much! You can close the ticket as you please
