VS Code Jupyter Notebook: IProgress not found

Question

I'm attempting to run a very simple tqdm script:

from tqdm.notebook import tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(10)):
    time.sleep(1)

but am met with:

IProgress not found. Please update jupyter and ipywidgets. See https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_install.html

My ipywidgets is v8.0.4 and jupyter v1.0.0... does tqdm not work anymore with VS Code Jupyter Notebook?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Using this post I resolved it by running:

%pip install --upgrade jupyter ipywidgets
%jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension # removed !pip on the recommendation of a comment.

import time
from tqdm.notebook import tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(10)):
    time.sleep(0.1)
