Same issue here, same environment, was working fine yesterday. There was a VS code update and a windows update in the past few days.

[iamjohnnyli]

same issue windows 10 wsl2 Anaconda

[r-narula]

After updating VS code I also faced the same issue.
OS -- Linux Based (Ubuntu 18.04)
Vs code - 1.49.0
Python 3.8.2
using pip packages.

[paulfhardy]

I reinstalled a prior version of VS Code and now I can once again open .Ipynb files no problem. I went from VS Code 1.49 down to 1.46.

until a proper fix comes out, just click on Maximize Panel Size then on the same button again to open your notebook ...

[danghoangminh]

same issues here, I can't open any file .ipynb it still loading but doesn't show any error

Didn't work for me. I'm receiving this message now:

Any other alternatives?

[HenriqueAJNB]

There is a similar issue here. It's seems a bug of version 1.49...

[joyceerhl]

Hi all, thanks for bringing this to our attention and sorry for the trouble. I can repro this and it appears to be associated with the 1.49 upgrade. We'll look into this.

Behaves as if the panel is loading the document then waiting for a screen redraw event, which never comes as there is nothing on the screen. Closing and opening the panel provides a screen draw event which displays the notebook.

What is more critical is how this bug got through QA and into a global release on a Friday as the team is going home for the weekend. It's sloppy and needs explaining to everyone that spent time having to find workarounds for over 48 hours.

[rchiodo]

This should be an upstream problem (well as far as we know right now):

Worked for me on macOS 10.15.6. Spent half an hour scratching my head on this, almost turned bald.

Works for me

@huyho2311 I used the command palette: "Toggle Maximize Panel" to cause the maximize to occur.

thanks, I just pulled up the panel and saw it, of course it would be there hahaha

[xiaoharper]

I have the same issue(cannot load .piynb after upgrade VS code). and the minimize-maximize the panel works for me.

Is there an ETA for the fix?

I've just completely uninstalled VS Code from ubuntu, including all config files and reinstalled it. Now working normally.

[7kemZmani]

Noticed the extension update asking for window reload. After reloading, I can confirm that this issue is fixed.

just some minor issue is now happening, when closing vscode with some opened files, you should expect to see them opened the next time you launch vscode on that directory; not with *.ipynb notebooks; they're now closed and have to be clicked on to start. Also the *.ipynb file icon is not loading on the opened file tab.

@7kemZmani that's exactly the experiment we turned on. It fixed file associations with ipynb files. Once VS code ships the root cause of the problem in microsoft/vscode-python#13901 we'll be able to turn this back on.

[r-narula]

Removed VS code (version: 1.49) and it's config files . After reinstalling .ipynb files started opening (version: 1.47)

[rchiodo]

This fix here should make this all work when we finally ship our September release:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/pull/13371

The root cause of this issue is:

• we turned on an experiment for enabling custom editor support by mistake.
• we had a bug with our custom editor support that we hadn't shipped yet
• maximizing VS code (or opting out of the experiment) works around this bug.

Right now the experiment is turned off again so as long as you reload VS code you shouldn't be hitting this bug anymore.

[amitmeel]

Looks like it has been fixed in 1.49.1 version and Notebooks are loading.

Hi, I have updated to version 1.51 this morning and this issue BACK FROM DEAD! and the previous trick (maximize panel) no longer works..
Solved by down-grade to version 1.47

[joyceerhl]

Hi @QPeiran thanks for letting us know. Could you please file a new issue at http://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/new/choose and provide logs from the 'Python' output panel please? That will help us figure out what's going on here.
