Trace Viewer extension for Theia

Theia trace viewer extension using the tsp-typescript-client (https://github.com/theia-ide/tsp-typescript-client) and Trace Server Protocol (https://github.com/theia-ide/trace-server-protocol).

Prerequisites for running this extension are the same as those for running the theia IDE.

Build the extension

Here is the step in order to build the trace viewer

1. Clone this theia-trace-extension repository
2. cd theia-trace-extension
3. Now you are ready to build the application: yarn

Note for some debian-based machines: On some distros, there are 2 yarn commands. If you get an error message saying ERROR: There are no scenarios; must have at least one., you are using the wrong yarn. See yarnpkg/yarn#2821.

Running the trace extension

In order to open traces you need a trace server running on the same machine as the trace extension. You can download the Eclipse Trace Compass server or build it yourself using Trace Compass and the Incubator, take a look at the instruction here.

1. Start the trace server: ./tracecompass-server
2. From the theia-trace-extension folder: cd browser-app/
3. yarn start
4. Go to http://localhost:3000
