vscode-jupyter: Failure Inspecting Variables from Docker Jupyter Notebook: '_VSCODE_InfoImport' is not defined

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.15.1
Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): - unsure what you mean; none available
Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2020.11.372831992
OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: mac 10.15.7 (19H15) (Catalina)
Python and/or Anaconda version: 3.8.6
Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda
Jupyter server running: Local | Remote | N/A - Local in Docker image

Expected behaviour

Run some code in my Jupyter notebook (using pandas, numpy) Click on “Show variables active in Jupyter kernel” button All variables defined in my Jupyter python code appears Click on “Show variable in data viewer” for any of the variables New tab in VS Code opens displaying all the contents of the panda dataframe variable Note: This works if I select “Default - VS Code will automatically start a server for you on localhost”

Actual behaviour

When I run the same notebook against a Docker image based on jupyter/scipy-notebook, I get this behavior:

Run some code in my Jupyter notebook (using pandas, numpy)
Click on “Show variables active in Jupyter kernel” button
Only 5 variables defined in my Jupyter python code appears in the window; the rest of the variables display as “Loading…” message
Click on “Show variable in data viewer” for any of the variables
New tab in VS Code opens briefly but then closes, displaying an error message " ‘_VSCODE_InfoImport’ is not defined"

Steps to reproduce:

Run Docker image based on jupyter/scipy-notebook
Create new Jupyter notebook in VS Code
Connect to Docker image
Paste in this code block:

import pandas as pd 
data = [['tom', 10], ['nick', 15], ['juli', 14]] 
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Name', 'Age']) 
df

Open Output window for Jupyter:

Logs

The logs below use the variable names I created: credentials_df, all_tweets_df.

Output for Jupyter in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Jupyter)

@jlharri and @joyceerhl No solution yet, but just wanted to note that I was able to set that docker image up locally and I can repro the issue. So I’m investigating on that now.
