This introduces an http server that serves our frontend and our snapshots. There is more work to untangle the big server into a few modules.
This change allows us:
- Maybe eventually serve the trace viewer as a web page.
- Rely on browser caches for fast snapshot rendering. This PR also adds "snapshot on hover" feature, subject to change.
feat(trace viewer): Extending existing NetworkTab view
Currently the network tab contains a limited amount of information on the resources that were loaded in the browser. This change proposes extending the details displayed for each resource, to include:
- HTTP method,
- Full url,
- Easily visible response content type,
- Request headers,
- Request & response bodies.
Such level of information could help quickly understand what happened in the application, when it was communicating with backend services. This can help debug tests quicker to figure out why they are failing.
This implementation still needs some clean up & tests improvement, but I wanted to propose such changes and gather your feedback before going too far.
