Recommended ways of debugging JupyterLab

#1

At one point I was able to open a .geojson file and get a map displayed with museums as in @jasongrout’s nice scipy2019-jupyterlab-tutorial. but perhaps after rebuilding my docker image I’m using as part of my JupyterHub deployment, I notice nothing when trying to open it by double-click or right clicking and choosing to open it as GeoJSON.

I want to debug this properly, but I have not debugged JupyterLab related issues before, so any recommendations on where to look for logs etc?

For this particular error I found a message in the inspector of the browser, but perhaps there is more logs somewhere as well?

My guess is that this could be due to a version change of the leaflet JS library which got pulled in when you did a rebuild. Or it’s possible the JuptyerLab APIs changed since the geojson plugin was released, which could have broken it as well.

You could set a breakpoint here in the browser debugger and try to walk up the stack trace to try to see where the issue is originating from.

@consideRatio I also came across (this?) or similar issue recently, in my case this was due to interaction with ipyleaflet extension. It is fixed now.

Thank you @Kirill888 excellent news!

I failed to follow here regarding my specific issue which was this: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-renderers/issues/185. I also concluded one could not install both alongside at that point. Will make that issue point towards the resolution you linked! Nice!
