JupyterLab extension manager SSL issue

JupyterLab extensions
1

Hi everybody,
I’m trying to install a jupyter lab environment on my local host (just for testing purpose), so basically I executed following commands:

conda create --name myenv 
conda activate myenv 
conda install jupyterlab

I can start it with “jupyter lab” command, and copying/pasting the displayed URL in my browser, I am able to reach my notebook, fine :slight_smile:

However, if I try to open the “Extension manager”, I can only see installed extensions, but the lower part of the pane (“DISCOVER”) indicates “Error searching for extensions: Error: Unhandled error”. In the terminal where I started up jupyter, I can see SSL related errors, ending with:

        self._sslobj.do_handshake()
    ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

    }

My laptop being behind a corportate proxy, I also tried to set environment variables (http_proxy & https_proxy) but got the same behavior …

I must also indicate that I deleted my “~/.jupyter” folder before testing this, not to be polluted with outdated configuration)

Is there some specific configuration to set for this to work ? Did I miss something ?

Thanks for any help ,

Sebastien

In fact, after additional tests, I figured out that the error happens sometimes but sometimes extension manager is invoked without any issue, very strange…
