ipyvolume: Error displaying widget

To setup ipyvolume, I ran the following commands on a fresh python 3.7 virtualenv on ubuntu 16.04:

pip install -U jupyterlab jupytext ipyvolume
jupyter serverextension enable jupytext
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install ipyvolume
jupyter labextension install jupyter-threejs
jupyter lab build

After attempting to use ipyvolume scatter in jupyter lab, I received the following error:

Error displaying widget
Error displaying widget: model not found

After jupyter lab build again:

Error displaying widget
Loading widget...

Anyone else having issues? I just noticed this after having used ipyvolume consistently before, so assuming an updated to jupyterlab broke something.

I use jupyterlab3 and meet the same problem. However, the same code works in jupyter notebook. Thus, one possible solution: launch classic jupyter notebook and run your code again.

I finally solved the problem by using jupyter notebook. For jupyter lab, I don’t know why it doesn’t work…
