Error writing grammar tables

EWouters opened this issue 6 years ago · 19 comments

I get an error upon launching Jupyter Lab with this extension enabled:

[I 10:37:25.686 LabApp] Node v10.8.0

[I 10:37:26.075 LabApp] Build is up to date

After manually creating the folder C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Local\\black\\black\\Cache\\18.9b0 and relaunching Jupyter lab the error disappears (even though the folder seems to stay empty).

Hey! This seems to be Python in Windows shenanigans, this is something that this package will not aim to fix/workaround, thanks for the heads up though 👍 , shall put it in the readme

@ryantam626 I seem to experience the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, so it appears to be OS independent.

Answer 3 · 2019-06-03T09:50:26.000Z

Did you use your system's python to install jupyterlab or virtualenv/conda?

Answer 4 · 2019-06-04T07:54:05.000Z

I actually use pyenv. Could that have something to do with the issue?

Answer 5 · 2019-06-17T20:45:32.000Z

Hmm not that familiar with pyenv, but possibly. I think this is because the jupyterlab server is spawned with user that doesn't have privilege to create the cache needed for black. Did it work for you in the end? You could try creating the cache dir youself and chown to you user if not 🤔

Answer 6 · 2019-07-30T00:18:48.000Z

Same issue on Manjaro, using virtualenv.

And, there is no black directory under .cache.

Answer 7 · 2019-07-30T10:01:59.000Z

Interesting.. What does the directory ownership look like for /home/roach/.cache? And what user did you start jupyterlab with?

Answer 8 · 2019-07-30T10:23:31.000Z

hmank ~ » whoami
roach
hmank ~ » la | grep .cache
drwxr-xr-x 53 roach roach 4.0K  7月 30 17:41 .cache

Answer 9 · 2019-07-30T10:40:18.000Z

Can't reproduce the error myself unfortunately.. Could you try manually creating the /home/roach/.cache/black/19.3b0 dir and see what happens?

I understand this is a bit shitty but I can't think of why it would not write the pickle in the cache 🤔

Answer 10 · 2019-07-31T11:59:50.000Z

No error after I created the directory /home/roach/.cache/black/19.3b0.

And then if I reboot jupyterlab it will not show infos about black.

Ah good. I assume it's working as expected now?

Answer 12 · 2019-08-03T01:56:16.000Z

Yes, except have to mkdir by myself.

Answer 13 · 2019-11-01T19:06:04.000Z

Had the same issue, manually created .cache/black/19.10b0. The error disappeared but code formatting still wouldn't work with black. I had to move to autopep8 instead.

Answer 14 · 2019-11-06T08:53:51.000Z

I can confirm, that this bug is present for Linux, too ( #82 ).
As we use JupyterLab in a multi-user environment with >300 user, it would be an somehow ugly workaround to mkdir ~/.cache/black/19.10b/ in everyones $HOME.

Thanks for the fix @AlJohri !

Answer 17 · 2020-03-30T08:54:03.000Z

Same here on a Mac OSX with a clean environment and brand new installation of the code formatter.
The directory was not created.

Same issue here as @andreamoro with new Mac OS X Catalina.

Same here with MacOS BigSur
