Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires JupyterLab 3.x; does not work with JupyterLab 4.x. Extension must be rebuilt or updated for each JupyterLab version.

fix

Ensure JupyterLab version is 3.x. Check compatibility before upgrading JupyterLab.

affects: all

gotchaThe extension must be built after installation (or prebuilt). If changes are made to the extension source, you need to rebuild. Missing rebuild results in 'Failed to fetch' or blank output.

fix

Run `jupyter lab build` after installing the extension, or install a prebuilt version if available.

affects: all

deprecatedThe package is no longer actively maintained and may not work with newer Python versions (>3.10) due to dependency issues.

fix

Consider using an alternative like pyodide or offline VPython, or run in a Python 3.9 environment.

affects: >=3.1.0
