"Astronomy Picture of the Day" tutorial problem. Version mismatch?

JupyterLab
1

Hello,
I had a few months break, not working with jupyterlab. Now, jupyterlab seems not to work anymore for me. May be related to the jupyterlab 1.0 release candidate.

I follow the instructions at https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/developer/extension_tutorial.html for the “Astronomy Picture of the Day” tutorial.
Those steps install JupyterLab version:
$ jupyter lab --version
0.35.6

When I run the step “jupyter labextension install . --no-build”, I get the errors below. How can I fix the problem? Do I have to let conda install the JupyterLab-1.0 release? How?

$ jupyter labextension install . --no-build
Node v10.8.0

> /home/ubuntu/miniconda3/envs/jupyterlab-ext/bin/npm pack /home/ubuntu/jupyterlab_apod

> jupyterlab_apod@0.1.0 prepare /home/ubuntu/jupyterlab_apod
> npm run clean && npm run build


> jupyterlab_apod@0.1.0 clean /home/ubuntu/jupyterlab_apod
> rimraf lib && rimraf tsconfig.tsbuildinfo


> jupyterlab_apod@0.1.0 build /home/ubuntu/jupyterlab_apod
> tsc

Hi @ernstch,

Indeed, you need to upgrade JupyterLab to 1.0.

With pip:

pip install --upgrade jupyterlab

Or with conda:

conda update -c conda-forge jupyterlab

Thank you, jtp,
conda update -c conda-forge jupyterlab solved my problem.

Imho, this command should be mentioned in the “astronomy picture or the day” tutorial. Or is there any setting that lets conda install the required jupyterlab version without running this extra command?

The command in this section creates a new conda environment from scratch, so it will pick up the latest version of JupyterLab automatically.

You can also pin dependencies, so for example the (simplified) command would become:

conda create -n jupyterlab-ext -c conda-forge jupyterlab=1.0

No, for me this command installs jupyterlab 0.35.6:
conda create -n jupyterlab-ext -c conda-forge --override-channels jupyterlab cookiecutter nodejs git
Also jsonschema is too old (2.6.0) and must be updated to 3.0.1 for jlpm to succeed.

No idea, why. But next time, I’ll specify jupyterlab=1.0 as you suggest. Thank you!
