Developer installation about ipyvolume

[maartenbreddels]

Hi,

• jupyter nbextension install ... fails due to missing ipython_genutils and maybe more

That is odd to start with, can you share the full error msg and maybe library versions of notebook, ipython and ipython_genutils?

Regards,

Maarten

In a clean master, when I run pipenv run pip install -e . it says

Then pipenv run python -m jupyter nbextension install --py --overwrite --symlink --sys-prefix ipyvolume fails because there is no jupyter-nbextension in the search path, except the system one. This one spawns the system interpreter which can't find ipyvolume for apparent reason. So I run pipenv run pip install jupyterlab and get

    To initialize this nbextension in the browser every time the notebook (or other app) loads:
    
          jupyter nbextension enable ipyvolume --py --sys-prefix

This is the symlink to itself due to non-existent nbextensions. Output of find share:

edit: couldn't reproduce the point you asked about, but the others are still valid. The jupyter situtation is unfortunate but easy to avoid.

I reproduced this partially using a venv, I've update the README: d4c541f
Does that help?
Maybe your JS build does not get triggered.

[notEvil]

Yes it does. The last command still requires jupyter_packaging, but its a minor nuisance. Thanks a lot!
