nbopen doesn't create file it it doesn't exist #65

Open ctb opened 4 years ago

ctb commented 4 years ago

e.g. nbopen foo.ipynb opens the JupyterLab interface if foo.ipynb doesn't exist, instead of creating it.

Ideally, it would create an empty file of that name and then open it with jupyter. I bet the tricky bit is that you have to guess at the format of the file based on the name...

Whups! Realized -n/--new does this just fine! I feel like this could/should be the default tho?

Yup, it should either create the file, or fail consistently with a short, clear error message. At present, it fails with a load of Jupyter messages ending in a reasonable error if there isn't a server running, and opens a 404 page if there is.

I'll have a think about which I prefer.

I like creating the file, personally. I will see if I can hack on this and submit a PR!

It should be pretty straightforward :-). If you can get a PR in before I've decided what I prefer, I'll go with what you want.
