Description

Even following the minimum installation instructions (JupyterLab > 3, ipywidgets > 7), a Vbox with

  • radiobutton
  • graph
  • table

only shows a radiobutton. Apparently Jupyterlab-widgets is installed automatically in a higher version than allowed.
Jupyterlab-widgets 3.0.3 does not work
Jupyterlab-widgets 1.1.0 properly shows all components in the Vbox as intended. So somewhere along the line it lost compatibility.

Research direction

Reproduce the VBox with a radiobutton, graph, and table under the reported JupyterLab and ipywidgets requirements, comparing jupyterlab-widgets 3.0.3 with 1.1.0. Trace the compatibility issue and verify that all three components render, or that the installation requirements clearly identify a compatible version.
