PowerBI-Jupyter widget does not render in Jupyter Lab (only Jupyter Notebook)

[S-Wald]

Greetings--

I've had success running the powerbiclient embedding in a Jupyter notebook lauched via the old-fashioned "jupyter notebook" server but cannot get this same notebook to run when launched from Jupyter Lab. I have followed to the letter the special instructions for installing powerbiclient in Jupyter Lab found on the code repository here: https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-jupyter 

I have executed these instructions in both existing conda environments and brand new ones. Furthermore, I've tried to add a more explicit widget installation command specifying the powerbi widget: 

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager powerbi-jupyter-client

as well as this variation, both of which successfully execute from an Anaconda command prompt (in Windows 10):

jupyter labextension install powerbi-jupyter-client

After these commands, the extension shows as installed and enabled in Jupyter Lab:

 But whenever I finally run the cell to render the report, it returns the error: "Error displaying widget: model not found", which is a common error in Jupyter Lab for widgets that are not installed (not just for the powerbiclient widget).

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

My assumption is that jupyter lab version is not in synch with the power-bi widget.

I was not able, looking to the github site to find the version power-bi widget is supporting.

Hi @S-Wald ,

Please review the content in the following links, hope they can help you resolve the problem.

Widgets dont display in jupyter lab (check the post from adhg)

Install nodeJS (yep, the docs explicitly mentioned that). So for me what worked was:
1. Install nodeJS (https://nodejs.org/en/)
2. pip install ipywidgets
3. jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
4. jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
5. (may need to restart your lab)

How to get ipywidgets working in Jupyter Lab?
