Error on init_datatables_mode() - Comms haven't been initialized properly

Trying an install from pip and direct from the repo, I get an error trying to iniitialise the package as per the docs:

from jupyter_datatables import init_datatables_mode

init_datatables_mode()

Hello! Thanks for the report.

This should be fixed now by https://github.com/CermakM/jupyter-require/releases/tag/v0.5.0. Please check.

Answer 2 · 2019-11-28T14:44:36.000Z

I have the same issue :c I have installed
jupyter-datatables==0.3.9
jupyter-require==0.5.0
jupyterlab==1.2.3
python 3.7

Answer 3 · 2019-11-28T15:43:16.000Z

Could I ask any of you to try this out with python 3.6 if the issue persists please?

Answer 4 · 2019-11-29T01:32:25.000Z

I still get the same issue on py3.7 too; no py3.6 envt to hand to try that right now...

Answer 5 · 2019-11-29T07:33:44.000Z

Please, provide browser console logs and jupyter --version output, if possible.

Answer 6 · 2019-12-09T22:15:23.000Z

hello
Same issue here. The error only happens with jupyterlab. With plain jupyter-notebook it works as expected.

Answer 7 · 2019-12-10T12:36:44.000Z

@digitalfox Yes, correct. Thanks for the confirmation.

This notebook extension is not compatible with JupyterLab, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

@psychemedia
@aLoNsolml
do you guys also use JupyterLab?

EDIT: There is already an existing issue #7 to add JupyterLab support.

Answer 8 · 2019-12-10T16:25:22.000Z

My issue was in notebooks...

By the by, I note that in your README, the Binder button points to nbviewer, not a MyBinder link (I was just going to give the demo notebooks a quick test in Binder...)

Yeah! I have been using jupyter lab.

@psychemedia Good point, thank you, I'll update the binder link!

I think there might be an issue with re-opening notebooks with saved outputs. Either that or Python 3.7 I suppose 😞

The link to myBinder is fixed in: 59b4880

Hi Marek, thank you the beautiful tool.

I am also running into this issue, but only sometimes and only with some notebooks which is particularly puzzling. I have a very large notebook (A) and a freshly created one (B). If I open B and run the init

from jupyter_datatables import init_datatables_mode
init_datatables_mode()

then it will provide me the comm error, which refreshing the page fixes. For the large notebook A, refreshing the page (which takes up to 15-30s), does not fix the issue and I encounter the comm error. Notebook A was also created before I installed jupyter-datatables, but I'm assuming that shouldn't matter.

@jvivian-atreca This is a super puzzling error and it's an annoying one. Feel free to investigate, I'd be really glad if somebody helped me with this one as I've been quite short on time lately.

Cheers,
M

Answer 14 · 2020-03-26T01:48:29.000Z

I also get this error.

Answer 15 · 2020-04-23T12:51:23.000Z

I, also, got the same issue on Centos 8, python 3.6. Workaround for this step was:

%load_ext jupyter_require
%requirejs d3 https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min

before init_datatables_mode()
