Select kernel options missing when after running a jupyter notebook cell in VScode Insiders

[ChandlerTayek]

When creating a fresh .ipynb file and trying to run print('hello world') I get prompted to select from an empty list of kernels.

Here is a list of my current available kernels on my machine:

I have tried reinstalling the python and jupyter notebook extension for VScode with no luck.

Edit: I'm running 1.57.0-insider on Windows 10 Home

@ChandlerTayek Could you please provide the extension versions that you are using for Jupyter and Python?

[ChandlerTayek]

@claudiaregio Yes
Jupyter: 2021.6.885080120
Python: 2021.5.842923320

Additionally do you have a pending VS Code Insiders update? The latest is 541a5d4fa70ab3095f23b28b88914e1f6a8f65c4 and you'll need to restart VS Code after installing the update.

Finally can you please share the Jupyter output logs? You can find them here:

I just installed the update that got pushed to me 30 or so mins ago. I think this is the correct info on my VScode insiders version:

There is a VS Code Insiders update from 13 hours ago. I believe you'll need that one as there were breaking changes to the VS Code notebooks API that our extension uses. Sorry for the trouble. If you have a pending update this option in your help menu should read "Restart to Update":

[claudiaregio]

I am not able to reproduce with the same extension versions and the latest version of vs code.
@ChandlerTayek can you check one more time for VS code updates? I have the latest commit Joyce mentioned and it's not happening for me. Your commit ends in 269 instead of the 5c4

Version: 1.57.0-insider (user setup)
Commit: 541a5d4fa70ab3095f23b28b88914e1f6a8f65c4
Date: 2021-05-28T09:50:57.063Z

[ChandlerTayek]

Update: So after installing the new VScode insiders build I was prompted in the bottom left to restart. I clicked and VScode Insiders restarted and reloaded my windows. To fix my problem I had to go into the Help menu and click on the option Restart and Apply Update in the menu located next to this option. I wasn't able to grab a screenshot at the time because I didn't think it would help.

@claudiaregio @joyceerhl Amazing that we posted the same thing at the same time. Thanks for being friendly and helpful! Love the product and I try every bit to not use something else when it isn't working as expected.

[joyceerhl]

Thanks for filing a bug and we appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the extension--we're always grateful for feedback and support from users like you 😊

[ChandlerTayek]

Yeah in terms of products that I use at my job for Machine Learning, some of the features VScode Insiders provides are the best in the industry as development editors go IMO. Keep up the great work.

[claudiaregio]

Thanks @ChandlerTayek! Don't hesitate to reach out for any other feedback or feature requests!
