VSCode Extension: "Executing python cells requires the Jupyter extension."

[heygent]

Trying to run a cell in a qmd file doesn't work, and gives the notification "Executing python cells requires the Jupyter extension.". Jupyter extension is installed and working with ipynb files.

Running macOS Sonoma 14.2.1.

Could you both confirm that you have the VSCODE Jupyter Extension : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter

The message in VSCODE refers to the Jupyter Extension as a VSCODE Extension like Quarto Extension, and not just the Jupyter module from pip installed your selected Python version.

Thanks

Thanks for your immediate reply.

Yes it is indeed working when the jupyter extension is installed.

VSCode asked me to install the python extension ms-python.python but not the jupyter extensions ms-toolsai.jupyter.

Besides that since this seems to be a dependency for https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/vscode.html it should be mentioned there.

Is there a list somewhere which extensions are required in which case?

This is mentioned there: https://quarto.org/docs/tools/vscode.html#code-cells

but it seems Jupyter extension is missing. It is mentioned in Python extension doc : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python#jupyter-notebook-quick-start

We could probably add it to the documentation

I added to the doc.
