After I execute a long-running cell that loads a huge object in Jupyterlab using the IPython kernel, the kernel seems to get “stuck” running some kind of background task that never finishes.
It’s unclear if it’s because the cell ran for a long time (~3 minutes) or because it loaded ~1.6 GB of JSON. Is this an issue with the variable inspector, or with the long-running process notifier?
I ensured that the indicator in the top right says “Kernel status: Idle” before running the command. I also made sure that the debugger mode was disabled; the little bug icon is gray, not orange.
After running, it says “Kernel Status: Busy”, and “Executed 1/2 requests”. It keeps a running clock of how long it’s been busy for. It never seems to finish, and as far as I can tell, all the actual computation is long since finished. See this screenshot if my description is not clear.
The result is that all subsequent cell executions end up in some kind of job queue, and the only way to get any output is to press “Interrupt” several times before running each cell. This is extremely annoying and tedious!
Is this a known problem of some kind? What kind of info can I provide in order to help reproduce this?
I am using MacOS 12.4, and Google Chrome 103.0.5060.114.
Originally I had thought that the problem was my use of tqdm.notebook and/or of %matplotlib widget, but I have since removed both of them from my notebook and I still get this problem.
