arcgis-python-api: Widget JavaScript Not Detected

Trying to run the samples -

Configured the Jupyter Notebook environment via

%%sh
conda install -c conda-forge ipywidgets
conda install -c esri arcgis

Both of those installed fine

Enabled widgets via

%%sh
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension

Enabling notebook extension jupyter-js-widgets/extension… - Validating: OK

Then if I try to instantiate a sample map:

from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS()
map = gis.map('Seattle, WA', 6)
map

I get a JavaScript error: Widget Javascript not detected. It may not be installed properly. Did you enable the widgetsnbextension? If not, then run “jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension”

Non-ESRI widgets work fine in my other notebooks.

We have released a new update (v1.2.3) that should resolve the issue. Can you please try it out? The commands below create a new conda environment and install the ArcGIS Python API in it:

conda create -n newenvname python=3.6
activate newenvname
conda install -c esri arcgis

# try it out
jupyter notebook

@aitorcalero Thanks for your input. I will look at this scenario further.

@aitorcalero @prasunkgupta we have released an update to the arcgis package that should resolve the problem.

The following commands can be used to create a new environment in conda and install the new package in it:

conda create -n newenvname python=3.6
activate newenvname
conda install -c esri arcgis

This should install arcgis v1.2.2 along with nbextensions < 3 and ipywidgets < 7 that should resolve the problems you are seeing.

@aitorcalero the log indicates that you still have nbextensions v3.0.0. Can you check with “conda list”?
