%help magic does not work for Stata commands #426

Open arnonerba opened 2 years ago

arnonerba commented 2 years ago

The %help magic does not currently seem to work for Stata commands. Built-in commands like %help magics work, but Stata-specific queries like %help histogram do not. The cell is marked as [*] in JupyterLab and never returns any output.

I can confirm this behavior on an Ubuntu 20.04 system running Stata 17 and on a Windows system running Stata 15. The stata_kernel debug log is empty.

Just to confirm, do you have internet? (i.e. while running the kernel)

Yep, I have Internet access, and help commands work properly in the Stata app itself (at least on the Ubuntu 20.04 machine).
