Failed to display Jupyter Widget of type Figure.

[Stazzy1]

I'm trying to display a map in my jupyter notebook, however I am getting this error when running the cell. I followed the setup closely although there is something just not adding up.. I'm new to python and tried to follow a couple of the other threads similar to this although still no joy. I have (hopefully) attached the image below of how my console looks. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for raising this. To isolate the problem, it would be useful to know if the issue is with gmaps itself, or with your installation of ipywidgets.

Do the following lines work?

import ipywidgets as widgets
widgets.IntSlider()

Hey, so I tried to run these lines and I have got this message. I guess it is my installation

Great, that helps. Jupyter widgets can be a bit fiddly to install.

If you type jupyter nbextension list in the terminal, what's the full output?

This is my output

It looks like you have two conflicting installations of the Javascript part of both Jupyter widgets and gmaps (ie jupyter-js-widgets and jupyter-gmaps appear twice in that list). You should only see extensions appear once.

If I were in your position, I would:

• uninstall both gmaps and ipywidgets (using pip or conda or however you installed them)
• run jupyter nbextension list again. You should hopefully see a single version of jupyter-js-widgets and jupyter-gmaps. This orphaned extension is what's causing problems.
• Remove this orphaned extension. The easiest is probably to edit the notebook.json file in the relevant config directory. You may also want to remove the actual source if it's still there. You can usually get there by just replacing /etc/ by /share/ in the path to the config. If not, run jupyter --paths and look into the data section.
• Run jupyter nbextension list. You should hopefully see no trace of either jupyter-js-widgets or jupyter-gmaps.
• Install again, either by running:

conda install -c conda-forge gmaps

Or

pip install -U gmaps
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix gmaps

If you can, I recommend conda -- there's much less scope for things going wrong.

Hey,

I'm very sorry I'm quite new to this and I'm not sure if I have correctly uninstalled these packages.

The above image is what I have at the moment. I wasn't sure whether this was the expected output? Which extension is the orphaned one?

[Stazzy1]

I fiddled a bit more and now have this :

I also tried to re-edit the json folder and this was my output: (I have changed it back to how it was before now though.)

Both versions of the extensions are still enabled, but they now look broken.

I also tried to re-edit the json folder

It looks like your configuration is now invalid JSON. You are missing a comma on line 3.

[Stazzy1]

This is now my output, however issue is persisting..

[pbugnion]

Did you run through all 4 bullet points? After uninstalling, the extension that you are left with is the one that's causing issues.

You need to go into /usr/share/jupyter/nbextensions and remove the remaining jupyter-js-widgets and jupyter-gmaps directories. You should only try re-installing when jupyter nbextension list returns nothing.

Closing. Feel free to reopen if you have further issues.
