vscode-jupyter: Cannot connect to remote server by specifying URL

Type: Bug

Error message: “A Jupyter Server with this already exists”

It won’t let me connect to it (or find it if it already exists). Unclear why this is happening.

I have found a quick (hopefully temporary) fix for this:

Whenever I try Select Kernel -> Select Another Kernel… -> Existing Jupyter Server… -> Enter the URL of the running Jupyter server add the url and click enter it asks again for the link and doesn’t save it. If you try to add it again it displays A Jupyter Server with this already exists

After doing this, one can reload the window: Developer: Reload Window and then re-start the same process. After choosing Existing Jupyter Server, the jupyter server you just added should appear in the list of existing servers. There it can be chosen, and afterwards, you can choose the appropiate kernel.

Whenever I try Select Kernel -> Select Another Kernel... -> Existing Jupyter Server... -> Enter the URL of the running Jupyter server add the url and click enter it asks again for the link and doesn’t save it. If you try to add it again it displays A Jupyter Server with this already exists

Will fix in the next recovery build (within a day or two)

Thank you @DonJayamanne ! Using Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code is a great experience for me.

Will fix in the next recovery build (within a day or two)

Same problem here after Enter the URL of the running Jupyter server, and Developer: Reload Window works for me now.

The fix has been shipped, please install the latest version of the Jupyter extension

  • The fix now displays a message indicating the fact that the command Specify Jupyter Server for Connections
  • You need to go into the Kernel Picker and add a remote URL Select Another Kernel => Existing Jupyter Server, then enter the URL there (previously this too didn’t work, that issue too has been resolved in the latest fix)
