Notebook run action not visible on Windows but visible on Mac

[miguelsolorio]

Trying to figure if this is native notebook bug or a jupyter extension bug. I'm currently trying capture the end to end experience for opening a notebook file in VS Code.

1. Open VS Code with an empty data & extensions directory
2. Open a notebook file
3. Install the recommended extension (Jupyter)
4. Re-open file
5. Trust notebook
6. 🐛 Run a cell, run action is not visible

However on macOS, the run actions DOES show up, so there is some weird behavior here:

I believe this is caused by the jupyter extension not returning the kernels yet. They should appear if you wait.

[IanMatthewHuff]

@misolori If you don't see the run button and kernel selections after a wait (look to see if during the wait the Python extension is trying to load that's the usual slowdown point) could you grab our logging info?

In vscode settings put Jupyter->Logging->Level to 'debug' and re-run the scenario. We then have a bunch of logging info in the Jupyter output window that we can look at to help debug.

[miguelsolorio]

I've left the window open for several minutes and nothing changed, don't see any progress in the status bar or anywhere else. Here are the logs when I re-run the scenario:

Also, if I try to run the cell via the keyboard shortcut I get the kernel picker but it is empty (also don't see any kernel references in the status bar or toolbar):

[miguelsolorio]

Not sure if it was obvious by my repro steps + screenshots, but i specifically did not install the Python extension. This behavior differs from what I see on macOS.

[rchiodo]

The error you're showing sounds like this fix here:
eeeaa6c

What's your version of Jupyter Extension? Don should have fixed that with a release last night.

[IanMatthewHuff]

Looks like Miguel is on 855 so that should be current. From the log it's "from a buffer" not "to a buffer" so it would actually be the function above the fix from Don.

Miguel could you share out the file?

[miguelsolorio]

Yea I'm on v2021.6.881596855, here's a link to the file i'm using.

[DonJayamanne]

@rchiodo @IanMatthewHuff the problem is the mime type application/vnd.bokehjs_load.v0+json didn't contain json data. Looks like we'll need to inspect the data to see of it's json or not instead of just looking for the word json in mine type.

Eg if typeof data === object and object.keys(data).length > 0 or similar before we convert to bytes. And we might want to add some metadata that also take is that it's a real json so that we can deserialize it in renderer

[DonJayamanne]

Ie the bug is at our end in Jupyter extension

[IanMatthewHuff]

@DonJayamanne I agree. I'll look into it after the API renames. My only concern here is the following:

• The code for this error should catch and just return back empty, it shouldn't be a full crash from what I see.
• Miguel is seeing the run button issue on Windows and not on Mac. Mime type issue should be present on either OS.

So I believe there is the mime issue that we need to resolve, but I believe that it's possibly a red herring for the run button issue.

I'm on Mac so I'm not sure if I can verify myself. @misolori Apologies if we are asking too much here. But on windows with your repro steps do you also not see a run button if you open a notebook that is blank or has no output in it? Just tying to isolate if there is one issue here (mime issue) or two (mime issue + windows issue with loading controllers).

Edit: Regardless, it's an issue on our end, so I'll transfer this bug to vscode-jupyter. From the discussion at the team meeting Wednesday I believe that this was ok procedure. @jrieken (since this bug was assigned to you) if me moving this messes up vscode triage procedure, just tell me and I won't move any more issues.
