Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1.Create a simple notebook
1.Export as HTML

Specifications

• Version: 0.6.17 , VScode 1.51.1
• Platform: Windows

[SiddhanthUnnithan]

Tried reproducing this issue with the "Azure ML - Python 3.6" Kernel.

Export to Python script worked as expected.

Export to PDF failed because I didn't have TeX installed. This is expected behaviour.

Export to HTML worked after I changed the export path. The extension defaults to /.html. I changed the path to $CWD/.html.

Following up with Don & co. about the default export path.

[SiddhanthUnnithan]

Followed up with Don and Claudia - suggested changing the default export path to either workspace root or parent directory of the Notebook being exported.

Issue here: microsoft/vscode-jupyter#3991

@KenMsft can you follow up to see if changing the export directory fixes your export issue for HTML files.

Issue linked above was fixed so closing this issue.
