Requirements

• Install prerelease jupyter extension into http://insiders.vscode.dev
• Have a python environment that you can run jupyter from. (https://jupyter.org/install)
• Be familiar with jupyter notebooks

Set up

1. Go to a command prompt where you've installed jupyter into a python environment
2. Switch to a folder you're using for testing
3. Run jupyter with the following command jupyter notebook --no-browser --NotebookApp.allow_origin=*

Test steps

1. Open insiders.vscode.dev and create a new .ipynb file.
2. Connet to the jupyter server:
   1. Run the 'Jupyter: Specify jupyter server for connections' command.
   2. Pick 'Existing'.
   3. Paste the URL from the jupyter notebook server you started in step 3 of the setup.
3. In one of the Notebook cells, enter one or more array variables of any length.
4. Run the cell in any way. For example: by clicking the ▶️ button at the left of the cell.
5. It might ask which kernel to use. Pick the remote kernel.
6. Run the command Jupyter: Focus on Variables View.
7. See that the variables in the Variable View matched the expectations.
8. In the Variables View, hover over any of the array variables. An icon will appear at the left-most column of the table. Click on that icon.
9. An expanded view of that variable should replace the notebook in the editor view.
10. Try that again with any other variable.
