JupyterLite demo errors on ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io

[psychemedia]

Trying to run the online demo at https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html raises an error.

We should probably switch to xeus-python in the jupyterlite demo

This project's main README.md refers from https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet#documentation directly to the broken https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ page.

If the fix is still in the planning stages, and may continue for another three weeks, at least the https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ front page should have a note or point here to issue https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet/issues/1127 for status updates.

FWIW, I was just trying to learn about ipyleaflet today and saw the error under discussion here. Wondering whether this is an issue that is a good one for someone new to the project to try to fix.

[maartenbreddels]

It has been broken for quite a while, should we remove it? It does not give a good impression now.

[drf5n]

Where is the code that makes that page? Is it near https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet/blob/master/docs/source/index.rst

This should be a basic use-case for ipyleaflet and should be repaired rather than removed.

[martinRenou]

It should be more stable now

I get this after a click and two shift-returns:

...or in text form:

You're hitting some caching. Can you try opening the documentation page from a private window?

The Notebook should now use the jupyterlite-xeus-python kernel which does not provide piplite. ipyleaflet should be pre-installed in this kernel.

I can confirm that when I go to https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html in a private window, the demo is now working for me.

Nice!

Browser caching is known to go in your way when using JupyterLite. Cleaning all data for that webpage or opening from a private windows should prevent that.
