add custom js file via settings

[hiaselhans]

This is a request rather than a bug:

it used to be possible to do something similar to this:

c = get_config()
c.NotebookApp.extra_static_paths = [os.path.join(dirname, 'static')]

and then have a "static/custom/custom.js" file which would be loaded on startup.
is there a straightforward way to achieve anything like this or do i have to put it in my .ipython directory?

best regards,
simon

in Jupyter 1.0 and Notebook 4.0 all should be the same except (roughly) replace ~/.ipython/profile_default/ by ~/.jupyter

if you drop a file in .jupyter/custom/custom.js it should work without extra modification.

I see this issue is closed, and the provided answer (workaround) does indeed work, but I am still having a problem specifying extra_static_paths that point to locations outside the standard ~/.jupyter directory.

Turning on debug option, I can see that the configuration is read properly, no errors are reported, but the custom.js is simply ignored. FYI, the same configuration works on v3.

indeed, thats what i used to do in earlier versions of ipython... i had a
custom run.py which did that thing amongst others... however i think the
file is still available in current upstream, but with "/static" prefixed,
so "/custom/custom.js" will not point to your file which seems to be at
"/static/custom/custom.js". at least thats what occured to me...

I think this issue is related to #199, and should be reopened.
