Interact with Valve's GFX trace system

Valve Traces

Access the Valve traces service through a simple command line interface. This tool makes sure traces and frames are tagged with information coming from the machine that captured/ran the trace to avoid any confusion and guesswork as to what environment is needed to reproduce an issue.

Installing the tool

This should be as simple as:

$ pip install --user valvetraces
$ export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

$ valvetraces
usage: valvetraces [-h] [--username USERNAME] [-u URL] {login,list_apps,create_app,list,download,upload_trace} ...

positional arguments:
  {login,list_apps,create_app,list,download,upload_trace}
    login               Log in the valve traces service
    list_apps           List the applications defined in the service
    create_app          Create a new application in the service
    list                List the traces available in the service
    download            Download a trace from the service
    upload_trace        Upload a trace

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
