Vscode-jupyter: Notebook code cell wraps regardless of toggle word wrap setting

[shahinrostami]

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Python Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Edit a Jupyter Notebook through VSCode, and enter enough code into a cell such that you would expect one of two outcomes:
2. The line wraps to the next
3. The line overflows

Actual & Expected behavior

Actual:

• A code cell wraps regardless of the setting below.
  
  

Expected:

• The View -> Toggle Word Wrap setting is used to determine whether the line wraps or overflows

Your Jupyter and/or Python environment

Please provide as much info as you readily know

• Jupyter server running: Local
• VS Code version: 1.40.0-Insider
  -Python plugin version: 2019.11.42782-dev
• Python and/or Anaconda version: Anaconda 2019.7, Python 3.7.3 64-bit
• OS: Mac
• Virtual environment: conda

Sorry this is an editor setting that's not currently being read. There's a number of VS code customizations for their editor that we're not currently using. Hopefully we'll get to some of these in the near future.

Having the same issue. Is this going to be addressed in the next release?
Thank you in advance.

[rchiodo]

No sorry this is not on our next release plan.

Hi! I fully understand the request of @shahinrostami.
For me personally, it would already be great if the wrapped line would keep the indentation level, as it does in my VS-Code files.
Additionally, there is the problem that you cannot distinguish the wrapped lines when line numbers are turned off (as they are by default).

hello, is there a way to show the line numbers in notebook code cell in vscode?

Yes, you just press l in normal mode to turn it on.
But unfortunately, there is no way to turn it on permanently AFAIK

Any progress on the wrapping feature?

It's also a giant pain if you're working with wide dataframes, the output is unreadable.

Still happening and really bothersome! I was so happy to use Jupyter notebooks in vscode until I found out about this.

[rchiodo]

I recommend you try this (this is where our notebook support is moving to)
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/notebooks-are-getting-revamped/

That should support word wrapping the cell. Not sure about output, you'll have to try it. Might depend upon the output.

Happy to hear that, I will wait for when it is stable and try again. For now, I'm back in Jupyter and it feels like breathing oxygen again. Especially for ETL work that requires frequent output of data.
