Azure ml notebook does not show widgets from ipywidgets

imbachb 6

ipywidgets seems to work fine for the simplest usages, i.e. just using a slider. However, when trying to use more complex functionality the notebook does not show / display the widgets anymore.

See in the picture:

The simple usage

widgets.IntSlider()

works fine.
However, using ipywidget's interact does not show any widget:

def f(x):  
    return x  
  
interact(f, x=10)

When I change the editor using the dropdown

and use Jupyter or JupyterLab, everything works as expected without flaws.

@imbachb Thanks for the question. Can you please add more details about ipywidgets version that you are trying. Please follow the link for the widget interact. We could see widgets in the Jupyterlab as shown below from the portal.

@Ramr-msft Thanks for the fast reply. As mentioned before, the ipywidgets work fine when I use the JupyterLab as the editor. The widgets however do not appear when I try to run the notebook directly in the Azure Machine Learning Portal as shown in this picture:

Is this simply not supported yet?
Running pip show ipywidgets inside the compute gives me following:
