[jupyterhub] 404 on nbextensions/nbextensions_configurator
dsblank opened this issue · 11 comments
I'm on jupyterhub. I'm trying to us the configurator on latest versions of everything (Aug 19, 2016). I have installed everything according to README, and it shows as enabled (as root):
# jupyter-nbextension list
Known nbextensions:
config dir: /root/.jupyter/nbconfig
notebook section
dragdrop/main enabled
- Validating: OK
config dir: /opt/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/nbconfig
notebook section

- Validating: OK
jupyter-js-widgets/extension enabled
- Validating: OK
codefolding/main disabled
nbextensions_configurator/config_menu/main enabled

calysto/publish/main enabled
- Validating: OK
tree section
ipyparallel/main enabled
- Validating: OK
nbextensions_configurator/tree_tab/main enabled
- Validating: OKHowever, when I load the notebook (after restarting jupyterhub) the tab shows, it is empty and I get the following error in the Javascript console:
Why is the URL giving a 404? Maybe I didn't install the app properly for jupyterhub? Any hints?
Hi Doug,
Not sure exactly why this is giving a 404, but my first guess is that the server extension part isn't loading for some reason. In this configurator, the nbextensions files reside in the python packages directory, which is insrted into the server's nbextensions_path at runtime. Do you get any entries in the server logs from, e.g.
also, does the config page at https://athena.brynmawr.edu/jupyter/user/dblank/nbextensions load correctly at all? I'd guess probably not...
Thanks for any hints you can give! This is the entire log on startup:

What folders? That URL either gives 404, or never responds.
So that log should include all entries from each single-user server as well as entries from the hub, correct? (I've not used jupyterhub much, so am a little uncertain) What I'd hope to see would be something like

But, since it isn't there, it seems as though for some reason perhaps the server extension hasn't been enabled for whatever user the server is running as. To enable system-wide, you could try jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable, though I assume you've already tried this, following the README. In that case, it's possible that since you're setting NotebookApp.server_extensions in /root/jupyterhub_config.py, it's interfering with somethign set elsewhere. What version of notebook are you using?
What should NotebookApp.server_extensions be set to?
Assuming you're using a notebook version < 4.2, it should be a list of strings, each of which is an importable serverextension module. So, to enable the 'jupyter_nbextensions_configurator' module, the list should contain 'jupyter_nbextensions_configurator'. You could, for example, add the line
c.NotebookApp.setdefault('server_extensions', []).append('jupyter_nbextensions_configurator')
to the python config file (assuming the usual method of assigning the config value to the variable c).
For notebook versions >= 4.2, the syntax changed slightly to use a dict named NotebookApp.nbserver_extensions, where each key is the module name, and the value is its enabled status. So, in this case, you could add the line
c.NotebookApp.setdefault('nbserver_extensions', {})['jupyter_nbextensions_configurator'] = True
to the python config file.
However, given that the file is jupyterhub_config.py, and not jupyter_notebook_config.py, I suspect it may only be loaded by the hub, and not each single-user notebook server...
I ran out of time to track this down. I'll leave this for now. Perhaps someone can debug on a jupyterhub server and report back. Thanks!
Well, at any rate, #13 was a bug preventing the serverextension from loading correctly when using jupyterhub, so it's something that needed fixing to solve this issue. As I mentioned there, I'd like to add a travis test using jupyterhub, but don't fully understand how to do that yet, and don;t quite have time right now. I'll ping here if & when I get one working.
