Continuous loading for Jupyter: Variables in VS Code Explorer tab

[kenf1]

Applies To

• Notebooks (.ipynb files)
• Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

Jupyter: Variables in VS Code Explorer tab would continuously try to load variables when opening a folder, non-.ipynb or non-.py file. It would finally stop loading when I create a blank .ipynb or .py file and close it without saving changes.

We may need an activation event for the pane.

Verification steps:

1. Install jupyter extension (prerelease)
2. Open a blank folder
3. Open the output tab
4. Click on the 'jupyter' header

This should cause the jupyter extension to load and the tab should change to say 'no variables'
