Interact.jl unable to create widget in Jupyter notebook + Julia

Viewed 197

I have recently installed Julia and trying to run Interact but it seems that Interact is not able to generate widgets.

I did the following steps:

  • Install Julia
  • Add IJulia package
  • Add Interact package
  • Add WebIO package
  • Run WebIO.install_jupyter_nbextension()
  • Run a Jupyter notebook.

The following screenshot shows the error I get - truncated for brevity

For someone else facing this issue, I did a complete uninstall (complete wipe-out) and install and it worked.

For anaconda, I uninstalled it by removing all configuration files etc. I followed Option B in the link below: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/

For Julia:

  • I deleted the installation
  • Deleted the .julia folder in C:\Users<username>.julia
  • Deleted registry associated with Julia
  • Deleted Julia folder in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Julia 1.5.2
