Goto Error notebook extension

Clicking on filenames in the stack trace opens up the relevant source file.

(This is the Classic Jupyter Notebook extension - for JupyterLab or Notebook 7, please use jupyter-stack-trace)

Install

Clone the repo:

git clone git://github.com/teticio/nbextension-gotoerror

Install the extension:

jupyter nbextension install nbextension-gotoerror --user

Enable the extension:

jupyter nbextension enable nbextension-gotoerror/main

As the Jupyter server is only able to access files in the directory in which it is run or a subdirectory, for the notebook to be able to open the source files it is necessary to provide a soft link to the source file directory. For example, if you don't use virtual environments, make soft link in the Jupyter launch directory to the site-packages directory of your Python instalation (e.g. ~/lib/python3.6/site-packages) and call this site-packages. Then set the prefix parameter in the nbextension configuration to ~/lib/python3.6.

If you do use virtual environments, then point the soft link to the envs directory and set the prefix parameter accordingly.

To make a soft link in Linux:

ln -s ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages site-packages

To make a soft link in Windows:

mklink -d envs C:\users\teticio\Anaconda\python\envs
