Jupyter Desktop App Won't Open Files

[EngDM]

Description

Starting a few weeks ago, I could no longer double click my jupyter .ipynb files and have them open. All it does now is open to the main screen. I use this since I am pretty novice at setting up environments but use it for some open-source engineering tools. No clue how to solve this, originally I thought it was because I switched my network from being mapped to a drive but after re-mapping to the same drive it appears that is not the issue.

Send help.

Reproduce

Double click .ipynb file

Profit?

Expected behavior

I double click file, it opens and I can run my little programs.

Context

• Operating System and version:
• JupyterLab-Desktop version:
• Installer:

Troubleshoot Output

Paste the output from running `jupyter troubleshoot` from the terminal inside of JupyterLab Desktop here.
You may want to sanitize the paths in the output.

Browser Output (required for interface issues after loading)

Paste the output from the DevTools JavaScript console here, if applicable.

Logs (required for issues with loading, server and startup)

Paste the logs from the `main.log` file here (optionally also from `renderer.log`).

Update: I've tried updating, and now when I try to open it it says "Invalid Environment configured for project". Did uninstalling prior to updating screw me?

@mbektas Have you seen this issue before? Suggestions about the error after updating?

Hi @EngDM , thanks for your patience! We have a troubleshooting guide that might help you with this issue. Can you try the instructions in this section in particular? https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/blob/master/troubleshoot.md#Dealing-with-custom-environment-server-launch-errors

@EngDM Any results after trying the troubleshooting guide?

@EngDM Any results after trying the troubleshooting guide?

Haven't had the opportunity. It's on a work computer and we are really busy rn, and I've found a semi work around that I can just load the web browser version and get it to work (although not as easily) so I haven't been able to take a day to fix the desktop version. Will keep you posted.

@EngDM regarding Invalid Environment configured for project error:

1. do you have a custom Python environment setup for the directory you have the .ipynb file? That environment might not have jupyterlab Python package installed. You can check the section @JasonWeill mentioned.
2. is the problem reproducible when opening notebooks from other directories?

@EngDM Any update regarding the questions Mehmet asked earlier?

We haven't seen any update on this issue in some time, so I'm going to close it out. Please reopen if the issue persists. Thanks!

@mbektas I tried running it from my Desktop and it works. It doesn't seem to want to run from my network drive. I tried installing an environment but I kind of got lost on what to do. I can move stuff to my desktop and copy back after I'm done, but I wish I had a better solution.

Sorry this was so late, I had to wait until a job came through that required me to use this to spend company time on it.
