Use arcgis-python-api in Spyder instead of Jupyter Notebook? Getting "Widget Javascript not detected."

[jedisom]

I've seen several issues logged abou the "Widget Javascript not detected." warnings/errors when starting to use arcgis-python-api in Jupyter notebooks(Issues #10...). I can follow the instructions and get the following result:

However, when I try a similar setup, but run Spyder...

(C:\Users\username\Anaconda2) C:\Windows\system32>activate py35

(py35) C:\Windows\system32>jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
Enabling notebook extension jupyter-js-widgets/extension...
      - Validating: ok

(py35) C:\Windows\system32>spyder

I get...

Has anyone successfully run the arcgis python package from Spyder? If so, am I missing something? Or, is the arcgis package incompatible with Spyder (even using the IPython console within Spyder)?

The widget is only available with the Jupyter notebook.

Hello @jedisom, Spyder doesn't yet support notebooks. The IPython console is a rich interface which can render graphics such as plots (images), but to support notebooks requires a full browser rendering experience. If you're interested in this functionality, you might want to follow the progress of the spyder-notebook plugin. It's still a work in progress, but it aims to bring that functionality to Spyder.
