Auto-reload current file in Jupyter Notebook?

[hejops]

Probably not the best place to ask this question, but I'm quite new to Jupyter Notebook, so I'll give it a try. I do all my notebook editing in vim through this plugin, but any changes made are not reflected in Jupyter Notebook until a manual reload is done in JN; I can verify that both the .ipynb and .py files have changed on disk. Is there any way to automatically trigger a reload of the .ipynb file within JN?

I've tried something like this, but as far as I can tell it applies to submodules that the current file relies on, and not the current file itself.

Hi @hejops , you don't need autoreload here, that is for a different use case (edit your .py modules and use them without having to restart your Jupyter Kernel)

What you need here is

• F5 or Ctrl + R (reload the web page) in Jupyter Notebook
• Reload Notebook From Disk in the File menu in Jupyter Lab >= 3.0

Thanks. Does vim potentially have any control of a Jupyter server/browser? I was thinking a BufWritePost autocmd could work nicely, but I doubt vim has that kind of control.

I would also note that jupytext.vim is primarily for when you don't have a Jupyter server running, to edit random .ipynb files. If you do have Jupyter running, then it's better to use the actual Jupytext Jupyter-plugin, pair your notebooks, and edit the paired files. You will still need "Reload Notebook From Disk" (or whatever improvements Jupyter will bring to this in the future)

In any case: this would be Jupyter's responsibility, not vim's.

Unfortunately, Jupytext (the Jupyter-plugin, not this vim plugin) is incompatible with the jupyter-collabortation plugin: jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration#214
