Expose refreshing kernelspecs
sents opened this issue · 1 comments
jupyter-kernelspecs
and associated functions have a refresh flag that triggers rereading of the available kernels.
When adding a new kernel, jupyter-server-launch-kernel
seems to get the new kernel right away, but I mainly start
my emacs-jupyter session with org mode sessions where I often get error messages that my selected kernel is not available.
I can refresh the available kernelspecs by calling
(jupyter-kernelspecs (jupyter-tramp-server-from-file-name "/jpy:localhost#8888:test") t)
but that is confusing and hard to find for new users.
I think it would be good if there were an interactive function to refresh the kernelspecs or that emacs-jupyter refreshes the kernelspecs automatically if it can not find a selected kernel in org mode.
I've gone ahead and added a command, jupyter-refresh-kernelspecs
, which can be called with point
inside a src-block with a /jpy:host:
session to refresh the kernelspecs of that host
. It can also be called inside the jupyter-server-kernel-list-mode
buffer to refresh the kernelspecs of that particular server. In general, it refreshes the kernelspecs of the host determined by the default-directory
.
This was the easier route than refreshing the kernelspecs automatically, but refreshing the kernelspecs should, I think, be exposed to the user regardless of refreshing them automatically on every new session initiation, a feature I will leave to be implemented for the future. If anyone would like to tackle it, be my guest.
