Audit says I'm not auditing a tab

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, Jan 24 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Unplug from the network.
2. Open a file:///.../bla.PDF
3. Open Developer Tools.
4. Pick Audits.

What is the expected behavior?
Should say cannot work on file: URLs or PDF URLs or when offline etc.

What went wrong?
Instead says can only work on tabs.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

But I am already in a tab.

Thanks for the report.  On my Linux 63.0.3239.132, the Audit dialog says "Can only audit HTTP/HTTPS pages and Chrome extensions...".  It appears that this may have already been fixed?  +phulce

Appreciate the report @jidanni, but there are a myriad of ways to reach that state, so it's not really possible to make it encompass everyone's circumstance. Changing it to say "You cannot audit PDFs" would not apply to the majority of folks that try to audit a non-page. The current "Navigate to this page in a separate tab" is roughly as specific as we can be unfortunately.
