[Feedback]: "Web Push Troubleshooting" documentation appears out-of-date

[onethirtyfive]

What's on your mind?

My friend, a OneSignal infrastructure eng, was kind enough to refer me for a product engineering role this past week. I spent the evening working on a conversation piece demo I hope to have ready if and when. (Yes, I'm shameless. :))

At one point, I had made an easily-overlooked TS misconfiguration that broke my integration. While fixing, I ran into "Debugging not receiving chrome notifications" in your "Web Push Troubleshooting" doc.

Following step 4 of this section, I opened chrome://serviceworker-internals, clicking "Inspect" on my app's service worker. In the resulting popout devtools console, when I started to enterOneSignal.log.setLevel('trace'), I saw:

Curious, I cloned the repo and went digging. Looks like a parallel logging implementation solely for ServiceWorker was introduced by 2550ae5.

After familiarizing myself with SDK internals, I tried this in my app's console and it worked:

OneSignal.context.workerMessenger.directPostMessageToSW('os.set_sw_logging', { shouldLog: true })

That section remains useful, imho: great exposure to Chrome's service worker tooling. Thanks for writing it.

Thanks for the issue.

So to confirm, you're saying that the normal setLogLevel function is not also setting it on the SW side?

Right!

Two scenarios for you. Before each, I cleared site data and stopped/unregistered service worker.

Scenario 1: only OneSignal.log.setLevel('trace'):

Scenario 2, with a stunning "mask" effect courtesy of Preview.app:

1. OneSignal.log.setLevel('trace'), then
2. OneSignal.context.workerMessenger.directPostMessageToSW('os.set_sw_logging', { shouldLog: true }):

Here's the code origin of one of the log messages in Scenario 2 which must originate from the service worker:

I wanted to PR a fix for this, but I wasn't too happy with what I came up with. It takes a lot of time to learn a mature, feature-rich product, so I took went for two birds, one stone ... took it apart and reassembled it, as a code sample. It's yours if you like it. I'll submit it through hiring channels (email) later today.

In an case, I hope this documents the issue, for now. Appreciate it!
