Developer installation

Hi,

I had an issue with an animation that I wanted to debug, but whatever I tried, I failed to setup the dev environment. What I did:

follow https://github.com/widgetti/ipyvolume#developer-installation
inside a virtualenv, created and setup by Pipenv

What I found out so far:

jupyter nbextension install ... fails due to missing ipython_genutils and maybe more
after installing jupyterlab, jupyter nbextension install ... creates a symlink to itself because ./share/jupyter/nbextensions doesn't exist, see ipython._prefix
- but ./share/jupyter/labextensions exists
after installing jupyterlab, jupyter labextension ... fails due to missing jupyter_packaging
eventually, with the obvious fixes to those issues, the commands didn't fail, but jupyter lab now says [W ... LabApp] ipyvolume is not a valid extension

Those issues could be related to my setup, so it would be great to know what the actual requirements for this project are (like npm version ...) and if anyone is able to create a developer installation in a clean Python environment.

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:

share/jupyter/labextensions/ipyvolume/package.json

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.

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