Start the profiler from a cell

[rsp34]

I was hoping the following in a cell might display the profiler:

profile on

foo()

profile viewer

Hi Ryan,

profile viewer is not yet a supported workflow when using MATLAB Integration for Jupyter. We have forwarded this feature request to the development team and they may consider to support this in a future release of MATLAB.

As an alternative, you could use the profsave MATLAB function to generate HTML files which contains the profiling results. For example,

profile on
foo()
profsave

The generated files are present in profile_results directory. These files can then be viewed in the browser from Jupyter by right-clicking the profile_results/file0.html in the Jupyter File browser and selecting "Open in new browser tab" option.

Note that viewing HTML files in the above mentioned way has limitations depending on the browser used. We have found Firefox to provide better experience compared to Chrome (based) browser.

Hope this helps
