IBM-cloud Watson Studio Notebook failed to load (BM PY0101EN Python Basics for Data Science)

Question

I am trying to load a notebook created by another course student for peer assessment as required by the IBM PY0101EN Python Basics for Data Science course Final Assignment. However, I keep getting an error message loading the notebook.

The error message reads: TypeErrors: this metadata is undefined, and I am the process always stops at 99% loading the notebook. I have allowed cookies and not running any other Watson studio program. I cannot finish the assignment unless I complete this.

The note is created via Notebook URL pasting the URL address submitted for peer assessment:

Thank you for the help!!

Answer 1

If you create a notebook "From URL", the URL must return content in the Jupyter Notebook Format. The URL you shared returns HTML data.

If your Watson Studio instance runs in Tokyo (seen by jp-tok in the URL), you can add the notebook to your project via two different ways

• use the "Copy to project" button in the upper right corner
• use the "Download" button in the upper right corner and create the notebook from file

If your Watson Studio instance does not run in Tokyo and you cannot get access to the "Copy to project" or "Download" functionality, ask your course instructors to provide the notebook in a different way (e.g. via a .ipynb file).
