OSError: Jupyter Require found itself running outside of Jupyter.

[gbonazzoli]

Following the guide at: https://medium.com/@marekermk/take-a-better-look-at-the-pandas-dataframes-a8d6613a46a

After the command:

jupyter nbextension install --py jupyter_require

I get always the following error:

Jupyter Require found itself running outside of Jupyter.

Any ideas to solve the issue ?

Hello and thank you for reporting it.

Are you running it in a Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab? The extension is only compatible with Jupyter Notebooks.

Cheers,
M

I know that is possible to run it only on the classical version. I'm sorry, but I'm new to the Jupyter world. How can I be shure if I have the righe installation ? What I can say to you is that I run both: jupyter notebook and jupyter lab from tha MAC OS command line in order to access them.

I'm running into the same error. It would be nice to state in the docs that this works only for Jupyter classic notebooks, but not in Jupyter Lab, especially as Lab is increasingly superseeding classic notebook usage.

But, in fact, I've tried it now without lab, and get this when running execute_with_requirements(script, required=['d3']):

errback@http://localhost:8888/nbextensions/jupyter-require/core.js?v=20200102160426:190:29

I'm on macOS Mojave and Python 3.7 running a recent Jupyter...

@gbonazzoli and @deeplook Thanks for the feedback! The README does say it's an nbextension, Jupyter Lab uses labextensions, which are different and also I always explicitly say jupyter notebook in the README. As Notebook and Lab have completely different frontend, the nbextensions do not work for both in most cases, unfortunately 😟

If the error occurs in a notebook, please provide further information, like code samples, both Python and JS console logs and we can try to figure out what's wrong together.

Cheers,
M
