! very strange saving issue ! #175

Open shelper opened 8 years ago

shelper commented 8 years ago

I am using MELPA package that was updated on 2015-01-11, I have a big cell with many lines of code, and I want to save the notebook by C-x C-s, what happened is i got saving error 

ein: [error] Content list call http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/contents/groupbysto2.ipynb failed with status nil.
ein: [info] Failed to save notebook!

i found that one cell in EIN cannot have more than certain number of lines or characters, e.g, even i put 100 lines of import os.path, i cannot save the notebook.

I am on windows 7, emacs 24.5, ipython 4.0 (jupyter) for python 3.4.3

Does saving work when you use the browser interface? Also, what is the terminal output for ipython when saving from ein fails?

shelper commented 8 years ago

saving works in both browser and emacs, the problem is the emacs gives error, but the file is saved... no warning/error output in the terminal

but things become more complicated when today i tried again to save-buffer in emacs, i have the error mesage like below 

ein: [info] Writing notebook Untitled.ipynb as nbformat 4.
ein:notebook-save-notebook: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

i tried to enable the debug-on-error, but it just could not enter the debug mode, then I tried to start a new notebook but failed by getting the error below:

I have no idea what happened....:(

millejoh commented 8 years ago

Okay I just tried to reproduce this by creating a code cell with >400 lines of Python in it. EIN did not report to me the error that you saw, so.... Could you attach a copy of the notebook that is generating the error?

Also not sure what is up with the notebook creating error, though it is probably a separate issue. I suggest calling ein:byte-compile-ein and restarting Emacs. Also, before enabling debug-on-error you need to call ein:dev-start-debug else behavior gets wonky.

shelper commented 8 years ago

I have no idea what happened, now, the save function worked!

but still cannot create new notebook, have the error message when i enable ein debug:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable default-kernel)
  #[... "\303\304\305H >\204
  widget-apply((link :args nil :value "New Notebook" :notify #[... "\303\304\305H  >\204

Could you try the following:

What are the results of calling (ein:list-available-kernels 8888) - I assume jupyter is running on port 8888. If not then you will need to adjust accordingly.

Also, what is returned when you access http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/kernelspecs (again adjusting the port to match your actual configuration).

shelper commented 8 years ago

well, the output of (ein:list-available-kernels 8888) is python3, and then i found after i click Create New Notebooks Using Kernel: (*) python3 in the below list, i can then create new notebook. I don't know if it can be considered as a bug, or this is what i should do before creating new notebooks...

The curse of async strikes again, I think. Querying jupytyer for the list of kernelspecs is done asynchronously just before rendering the notebooklist buffer. Apparently on your machine your emacs is really fast or jupyter is really slow, so the query is not complete by the time the buffer renders, resulting in default-kernel being nil, which mucks up everything when you try to create a new notebook.

Making the query synchronous is the easiest solution, but it will slow down the call to notebooklist-open so I'd like to think it over and make sure it is the right solution.

I found it's caused by permission problem, you can fix it by chown and chgrp command in linux.
