After some digging around, latest version of tensorboard does not have that attribute in error above: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/tensorboard/backend/application.py

The latest one I saw was tensorboard==2.2

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/2.2/tensorboard/backend/application.py .

Simple solution would be to tell users to pip install tensorboard==2.2.

Its due to this PR tensorflow/tensorboard#3643

We fixed the serverside extension in the main branch https://github.com/InfuseAI/jupyter_tensorboard

However, the frontend requests to the incorrect path after tf 2.3 :

[rragundez]

any update on this one? is it solved yet?

[drykovanov]

I had to patch jupyter_tensorboard to run with tf 2.3.x:
https://github.com/drykovanov/jupyter_tensorboard/tree/tf230

[rragundez]

so how do I install it @drykovanov ?

[rragundez]

ping @drykovanov

so how do I install it @drykovanov ?

Hi @rragundez , you can just checkout the patched branch and pip install . in the jupyter_tensorboard directory.

[RW21]

Are the new patches going to be merged into this branch?

For me it is working correctly using the following configuration (with TensorFlow 2.4.1 installed):

# Keep compatibility with jupyterlab_tensorboard
# jupyterlab==2.2.9 < 3.x
pip install jupyterlab==2.2.9 jupyterlab_widgets ipywidgets

# Tensorboard
pip install tensorboard==2.4.1 tensorboard_plugin_profile jupyter-tensorboard==0.2.0

jupyter labextension install jupyterlab_tensorboard --no-build

jupyter lab clean
jupyter lab build

jupyter labextension list
