Can't start Python interactive viewer for Jupyter cell

[pauloneves]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.29.0
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.10.1 (09 Nov 2018)
• OS and version: Windows 10
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.7 Anaconda
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: Jupyter notebook

Actual behavior

Try to execute cell in imported python notebook. Python interactive doesn't start and freezes.

Expected behavior

The selected cell should have been executed in the Python Interactive pane.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open VSCode from an activated conda env in a dos shell

2. Right click a .ipynb file and select "Import Jupyter Notebook"

3. In the first code cell of the imported file file there is a Run Cell option.:
   

4. Click Run Cell and in the status bar appears a message that the Jupyter Server is starting:
   

5. The editing pane is vertically split and a new tab named "Python Interactive" appears with a blue bar moving horizontally
   

6. Nothing happens, Code isn't executed. blue bar keeps rolling. Status bar stays with "starting..." message.

Logs

In the log below, there is an error (I don't have any Anaconda in C:)

Some more info:

• I've selected the conda env python executable in VSCode, so "python.pythonPath" is set in settings.json
• I can connect to the jupyter notebook using my web browser.

@rchiodo
We've seen this message in the past in the extension. On Windows this was due to the user having some funky paths with double quotes ".

@pauloneves
Please could you check your environment variable PATH and ensure there are no invalid entries in there.

• Ensure all paths are valid
• Ensure there are no empty entries
• Ensure there are no paths with double quotes

[pauloneves]

@DonJayamanne

The error persists.

* Ensure all paths are valid
* Ensure there are no empty entries

Checked this way:

In [1]: from pathlib import Path
In [2]: import os`
In [3]: for i in os.environ['PATH'].split(';'):
   ...:     if not Path(i).exists():
   ...:         print(i)

Some paths were printed. I removed 2. Other two were d:\Anaconda3\envs\myenv\bin and d:\Anaconda3\envs\myenv\Library\usr\bin and I created them manually.

* Ensure there are no paths with double quotes

There's none.

The little code above now doesn't print anything.

The linked bugs say that VSCode complains that Jupyter is not installed. I've also got this error and installed jupyter with conda install jupyter in my activated environment shell. Then I got the frozen interactive pane that I described.

If I start VSCode outside the conda virtual env, it complains again that Jupyter is not installed. I installed Jupyter outside any env, restart VSCode and it still complains.

I had a similar problem with rope, that VSCode wouldn't recognize it installed. Just after I installed with PIP that VSCode found it.

[rchiodo]

I think the root cause is this:

http://(i7 or 127.0.0.1):8888/?token=6d81d530b1ffe2413845b87d86a3372c4d9b63f50ad6a2d8

We match on a regex that expects something like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=6d81d530b1ffe2413845b87d86a3372c4d9b63f50ad6a2d8

Not sure why you have a different output than others, but we'll have to search for different strings for the startup to work.

[pauloneves]

I've already changed this configuration. Now it starts with a standard 127.0.0.1 ip. The problem persists. Later today I'll post the new log. Paulo Eduardo Neves Em qua, 14 de nov de 2018 23:19, Rich Chiodo <[email protected] escreveu:

Actually the regex doesn't match 127.0.0.1 either. It assumes localhost:

This is the regex.
/http://localhost:[0-9]+/?token=[a-z0-9]+/

[IanMatthewHuff]

In addition to handling the IP case we need to handle the OR case.
jupyter/notebook#3703

User can also change the display URL manually:

I changed the url to localhost and everything worked!!! Thanks!

[IanMatthewHuff]

@pauloneves. With this PR: microsoft/vscode-python#3386
I've expanded our address handling. It should now be fine with localhost, IP, missing token values, and base_url values.
