Problem : Unable to delete a empty folder from file manager pane.
Want: In file pane, right clik on folder, select delete, read prompt, click ok, then recursivley delete.
Main Cause: Students cloning git repositories creates hidden files and nested folders
Workaround: Opening a terminal or using cell magic rm -rf <path>
Reson unsuitible (to me):
a. Unexpected bahaviour based on modern file managers and IDE behaviours
b. Expose CLI tools (rm -rf) and concepts (hidden files) to students (important to understand, but not at the moment)
Issue seems to be fixed/configurable in JupyterHub 2, but TLJH use version 1.5. Based on research (links below), solutions include.
- set: c.FileContentsManager.delete_to_trash = True
- c.Spawner.environment = {
‘JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP’: “jupyter_server.serverapp.ServerApp”
}
Solutions proposed (see links below) do not seem to be working for me. I have tried various combinations of both options varible, setting options using tljh_config, or creating a local config file: /opt/tljh/config/jupyterhub_config.d/local_settings.py. Also tried the CLI option suggested, but could not get jupyter.service to restart.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Can anyone suggest a solution?
