What happened?

Created a notebook with the following code:

from ipywidgets import interact, fixed

def nested(s, n):
    print(s, n)

@interact(s=['a', 'b','c'])
def outer(s):
    interact(nested, s=fixed(s), n=7)

Expected to see a dropdown, a slider, and the output of the print(), instead only see the dropdown. Works fine in JupyterLab.

The Makefile Tools extension process of configuring your project is about to run 'make --dry-run' in order to parse the output for useful information. This is needed to calculate accurate IntelliSense and targets information. Although in general 'make --dry-run' only lists (without executing) the operations 'make' would do in the current context, it is still possible some code to be executed, like $(shell) syntax in the makefile or recursive invocations of the $(MAKE) variable.
If you don't feel comfortable allowing this configure process and 'make --dry-run' to be invoked by the extension, you can chose a recent full, clean, verbose and up-to-date build log as an alternative, via the setting 'makefile.buildLog'.

fwiw, I encountered the same problem with ipywidgets 8 in Cell scripts, but with 7.7.2 it still works.

Apologies for not getting back to you on this. Please can you verify you have the latest versions of VS Code and Jupyter extensions.

with ipywidgets 8 in Cell scripts, but with 7.7.2 it still works.

Please can you share more information on what you mean by cell scripts & some sample code

[deluksic]

Sorry, I meant code cells. Here's some sample code:

# %%
from ipywidgets import interact

@interact(x=(0, 5, 1))
def _(x=0):
    @interact(y=(x, 10, 1))
    def __(y=0):
        print(x, y)

It should show two sliders, second slider's minimum should be first slider's value.
