Classic notebook instead of jupyterlab on mybinder.org

The repo I’m working with is here. The binder link we work with is Binder

I haven’t been able to successfully include the tree tag in the above URL that would launch the notebook successfully in the classic interface. i.e. cannot do “ECE4078_Practical_2021/main/tree”, but need to wait for the URL to load fully before adding the /tree tag.

The following four variations on the approach I detailed above using urlpath work for your repo:

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/tianleimin/ECE4078_Practical_2021/HEAD?urlpath=/tree/

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/tianleimin/ECE4078_Practical_2021/HEAD?urlpath=%2Ftree%2F

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/tianleimin/ECE4078_Practical_2021/main?urlpath=/tree/

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/tianleimin/ECE4078_Practical_2021/main?urlpath=%2Ftree%2F

From launches from any of those, the dashboard opens in classic notebook mode at the root directory. Then for example, you can select Week01 and open any notebook in that directory. The notebook opens in classic notebook mode.

(Historically, the ones with the escape symbols, i.e., %2Ftree%2F, are the choice that worked. Only recently did I see cases where I didn’t need to escape the symbols to have things work. So I prefer the escaped versions as I know they’ve worked the longest; however, maybe it is no longer necessary.)

Here is a launch badge that should work as you wanted. Does it work for you?

The markdown form of that launch badge is:
