Review problem with Jupyter kernel in the unit tests

[miguelgfierro]

When creating a new cicd system, we had to register a jupyter kernel.

ipykernel install --user --name py36 --display-name "Python (py36)"

python -m ipykernel install --user --name recommender --display-name "Python (recommender)"

We need to review this issue

@maxkazmsft I thought we have spotted this and you have done some setups on the CICD machine?

When trying to pass the tests, I got this error:

jupyter_client.kernelspec.NoSuchKernel: No such kernel named reco

When executing a notebook with papermill, this is the function:

papermill.tests.test_execute.execute_notebook(input_path, output_path, parameters=None, engine_name=None, prepare_only=False, *, kernel_name='python3', progress_bar=True, log_output=False, start_timeout=60, report_mode=False)

Executes a single notebook locally. :param input_path: Path to input notebook. :type input_path: str :param output_path: Path to save executed notebook. :type output_path: str :param parameters: Arbitrary keyword arguments to pass to the notebook parameters. :type parameters: dict :param prepare_only: Flag to determine if execution should occur or not. :type prepare_only: bool :param kernel_name: Name of kernel to execute the notebook against. :type kernel_name: str :param progress_bar: Flag for whether or not to show the progress bar. :type progress_bar: bool :param log_output: Flag for whether or not to write notebook output_path to stderr. :type log_output: bool :param start_timeout: Duration to wait for kernel start-up. :type start_timeout: int :param report_mode: Flag for whether or not to hide input. :type report_mode: bool

>>> from jupyter_client.kernelspec import KernelSpecManager 
>>> kk = KernelSpecManager()
>>> kk.find_kernel_specs()

@miguelgfierro see my response here. I have tried in my own DSVM and it worked well. Let's try on the CICD machine hopefully it resolves our problem.

fixed with #113
