Nbviewer not showing ipywidgets, bqplot or plotly plots

[rishabhmulani]

Hi everyone!
I've uploaded an ipython notebook in a public repository which I'm trying to view through nbviewer. Please note that this notebook contains loads of interactive widgets (ipywidgets) and plots using bqplot and plotly. Neither these plots nor the ipywidgets show up in the nbviewer.
Any solutions to this issue?

You need to save the widget notebook state to embed that state in the notebook: http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/embedding.html#save-notebook-widget-state

@jasongrout
Sir could you help me with this error. I reach out to the gitter room but no one seems to help there.

I checked the page that @jasongrout linked, but it doesn't seem to provide instructions for Jupyter Lab, it mostly mentions the Jupyter Notebook interface, and mentions a menu item "Save widget state" that I don't believe exists in Jupyter Lab. Are there more up-to-date instructions for how to embed the widget state with notebooks so that nbviewer can see them?

@choldgraf the corresponding menu was added in ipywidgets master. I will be pushing out a release candidate for ipywidgets 7.5 including that.

Note that ipywidgets 7.5-rc0 will target jupyterlab 1.0.0-rc0

[jasongrout]

jlab has a setting in the settings menu to save widget state when saving

sounds good - we should make sure to document this new setting once it's there :-)

After the new release can i be able to see the plot in nb-viewer ??
because i am still figuring out this.

It's already there if you install the appropriate version of jlab alpha and the widgets extension.

my thinking there is that it's OK to have an alpha feature not documented, but a >= beta feature should be documented somewhere

Definitely +1 to documenting it.

So is this now released? Or is there a particular release we should be waiting for?
