Cannot open jupyter notebook in VSCode

I recently switched to Visual Studio Code and would like to use Jupyter Notebooks. I have installed the ms-python extension, and also the jupyter package, as described here.

However, after reloading, I did not have a command Python: Create Blank New Jupyter Notebook, and if I open existing notebooks, the HTML/CSS is shown instead of an actual notebook view. I haven't found anything related to this problem online yet.

I had this same issue and found no answers online to solve it. What I've tried: 1- re-load Vs Code; 2- choose Python interpreter on Command Pallet (Ctrl + Shift + P); 3- Create New Blanck Notebook on Command Pallet (Ctrl + Shift + P); The editor would change to a notebook cell with Code and Markdown options if step 3 worked properly. 4- open your notebook (File > Open or Ctrl+Shift+E - if it is already part of your workspace).

Then I was able to run cells.

I believe it's not necessarily a Python Extension bug. But ended up giving up for now, because new little issues were showing up. I prefer using the python editor with #%% to create cells and run in Interactive Python.

Here is a good explanation: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/data-science-tutorial

I fixed by setting enviroment and workspace using terminal and this tutorial. Do not afraid if your purpose isn't data science, anyway knowledge are useful.

If Python extension is available, (if not install that extension) in VSCode, while the jupyter style file (cells beginning with # %%) is active:

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P
  2. Type: Export Current Python File as Jupyter Notebook

I understand that the Jupyter extension is not maintained. I just use the python extension now. I received this info from the vscode notification in the bottom right corner.

An easy way to fix this should be to save the file with an .ipynb ending, vs-code should then automatically start the notebook extension. You can also make sure that you activated a Python environment, then Python: Create New Blank Jupyter Notebook should appear.

An alternative I would recommend is editing notebooks following this guide in the vs-code documentation
