Implement JsonTracer HTML viewer

[dayo09]

What?

As mentioned in workshop 2023, let's find the way to show json trace files formatted in html file.

FYI #1183 (comment) this is the tool that I've mentioned offline :)

Good it works well, thanks :-D

How to view HTML in vscode?

• VSCode doesn't have built-in support for HTML preview.
• Microsoft/LivePreview extension supports html preview in vscode.
• TODO add the extension as a dependency after implementing the feature (?)

Preview in microsoft/LivePreview

How to embed?

I found briefly 2 possible ways to achieve our goal. IDK if either of them works yet.

(1) Use trace2html file

npm i traceviewer
./node_modules/traceviewer/tracing/bin/trace2html res/samples/traces/sample.timeline.json

• Not working, python version issue (Missing parentheses in call to 'print')

(2) Vulcanize the viewer

npm i traceviewer
./node_modules/traceviewer/tracing/bin/vulcanize_trace_viewer

• Not working, 'No module named 'py_vulcanize'' issue.

Issue: not enough packages in node_modules/traceviewer

• When I run python program in its original repository, it runs well.

• When I run python program in installed node_modules, it doesn't work.
• It seems that not enough python packages are included in node packages.

Add catapult as a submodule

Why?

I tried to import only the related catapult directories. It exceeded 3000+ lines changes, as can be seen in this PR

For extensibility, it could be better to import the project as a submodule.

Let's investigate how to integrate python files.

• It uses nox to manage python env / dependencies.
• nox installs python libraries into bundle/libs. (I think bundling python libs are required for our project, too)
