Conda-forge package at version 0.4.1

[JuanCab]

Since you mention it in the installation instructions, I thought I would let you know

conda install -c conda-forge pythreejs

installs version 0.4.1, not the current 1.0.0. Someone needs to update the condo-forge package.

We recently identified the issue to be that a new dependency was not yet on conda. We're working on getting that up as of yesterday, so hopefully it will be solved by the end of the week!

Got this through just now. Feel free to test it and let me know if there are any issues!

Tried pip uninstalling pythreejs and then installing via conda and got

Any idea why it can't find the pythreejs notebook extension?

[vidartf]

If you uninstall both with pip and conda, and call jupyter nbextension list, does pythreejs show up? There might be some configuration conflict.

Note: Locally (Windows) I'm getting

      - Validating: ok

so it might be platform dependent. Which platform are you on?

I am doing all this on a macOS 11.3.5 installation.

I had uninstalled the pip version before calling for the conda install.

Uninstalling the conda version and reinstalling leads to the same problem, in fact, uninstalling (with conda) it reports

Executing transaction: | + /Users/juan/anaconda3/bin/jupyter-nbextension disable pythreejs --py --sys-prefix
Disabling notebook extension jupyter-threejs/extension...
      - Validating: problems found:
        - require?  X jupyter-threejs/extension

at which point jupyter nbextension list says

      jupyter-threejs/extension disabled
    tree section

Looks like either pip uninstall pythreejs didn't clean up after itself or conda install is missing the extension.

I was able to reinstall pip install pythreejs and get the extension reactivated... I then explicitly jupyter nbextension uninstall jupyter-threejs and pip uninstall pythreejs before the conda install. Still getting the same error with the conda package.

Thanks for helping debug this!

If you run

conda uninstall pythreejs
pip uninstall pythreejs
pip uninstall pythreejs
pip uninstall pythreejs
# yes, pip uninstall multiple times, it some times matter

Then:

• Go into /Users/juan/anaconda3/share/jupyter/nbextensions, and delete any folder called jupyter-threejs.
• Go into /Users/juan/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/nbconfig, and:
  • Edit notebook.json to remove any line with jupyter-threejs/extension.
  • If present, enter the directory notebook.d, and delete any file jupyter-threejs.json.

These steps above you should also repeat for any directory returned by the command jupyter --paths.

These are the steps I personally follow when I want to make absolutely sure I clean out any old configuration.

Before reinstalling, confirm also that it is gone from jupyter nbextension list. At this point, updating conda could be nice to preclude some old issues (conda update conda). If the issue is still there when reinstalling pythreejs, please check the content of /Users/juan/anaconda3/share/jupyter/nbextensions if jupyter-threejs folder is there and report which files are in it.

I went through and

1. did the multiple pip uninstalls (the 2nd and 3rd just reported Skipping pythreejs as it is not installed..
2. No folder named jupyter-pythreejs existed in /Users/juan/anaconda3/share/jupyter/nbextensions
3. The notebook.json has no mention of jupyter-pythreejs
4. There is no jupyter-threejs.json in the notebook.d subdirectory.
5. Checked all the directories listed by jupyter --paths (there were quite a few) Nothing obvious in terms of pythreejs or jupyter-threejs filenames and grep threejs * revealed no hidden mentions in files.
6. Confirmed that jupyter nbextension list does NOT show it in the list any more (disabled or otherwise).
7. I did conda update conda but I was already up to date. 👍

After all that, did a conda install pythreejs...

Still failed! So I went to the /Users/juan/anaconda3/share/jupyter/nbextensions directory, there is no jupyter-threejs directory (which I suspect is the problem). Oh, and just in case, I checked, I have write permission to the directory (I suspected as much, since pip install pythreejs does work).

[JuanCab]

On a positive note, it picked up version 1.1.0 of pythreejs. 😄

[vidartf]

Confirmed locally on OSX. Are you on OSX or linux?

[JuanCab]

macOS 10.13.5 (the most current release version) and Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit).

[vidartf]

Fix (workaround) added to feedstock in conda-forge/pythreejs-feedstock#18 . Proper fix should be to setupbase.py to ensure that an exception in the npm install command to not prevent the handle_files command from running:

pythreejs/setupbase.py

Lines 473 to 479 in 5c43fa9

	try:
	[self.run_command(cmd) for cmd in cmds]
	except Exception:
	if strict:
	raise
	else:
	pass

The next build should be done in less than half an hour. If you could please retry then and confirm that the issue is fixed, I would be much obliged!
