Plot not displayed, instead text output "Canvas(toolbar=Toolbar..."

[Nestak2]

I run the minimal code in the screenshot on Jupyter Lab and get instead of the plot the strange text output at the bottom of the screenshot:

Jupyter Lab version: 0.33.12
Jupyter Notebook version: 5.7.2

I have installed everything as required here. Other users are having the same problem as reported here and more extensively here. It seems to be a due to the new version of Jupyter Lab or ipympl. If I use Jupyter Notebook instead of Jupyter Lab the figure is not displayed either. Anyways, %matplotlib inline works both for Notebook and Lab for the static display. What should I do to display the plot interactively. Can I go to a previous version of Jupyter Lab and make it work again?

ipympl only supports jlab 1.0 and widgets 7.5 or above (https://github.com/matplotlib/jupyter-matplotlib/blob/master/js/package.json#L30).

@martinRenou - If that line is changed to ^1 || ^2, it will likely work with older jlab and widgets versions.

Even if @martinRenou or someone makes the change, you'll still need to install the appropriate version of the widgets jlab extension: https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/tree/master/packages/jupyterlab-manager#version-compatibility

@jasongrout Thanks a lot, indeed upgarding to jlab 1.02 solved my problem, now the plots are being displayed and they are interactive
