tkinter scroll bar inactive

Question

I am trying to get a vertical scrollbar working with tkinter. I am using the code below. The scroll bar shows up until I uncomment the line

#canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=yscrollbar.set)

What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance!

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root =tk.Tk()

frame = tk.Frame(root)
frame.pack()

canvas = tk.Canvas(frame, height=200, width=200, background="blue")

yscrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(frame, orient=tk.VERTICAL, command=canvas.yview)

frame.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
frame.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)

yscrollbar.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='ns')
canvas.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='ewns')

canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=yscrollbar.set)
canvas.config(scrollregion=canvas.bbox("all"))

root.mainloop()

Thanks, the scrollregion was smaller than the canvas size...

got it working

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk


root =tk.Tk()

frame = tk.Frame(root, height=100, width=100)
frame.pack()

frame.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
frame.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)

canvas = tk.Canvas(frame, height=200, width=200, background="blue")
canvas.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='ewns')

yscrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(frame, orient=tk.VERTICAL, command=canvas.yview)
yscrollbar.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='ns')
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=yscrollbar.set)

frame_buttons = tk.Frame(canvas, bg="green")
canvas.create_window((0, 0), window=frame_buttons, anchor="nw")

rows = 9
columns = 5

buttons = [[tk.Button() for j in range(columns)] for i in range(rows)]
for i in range(0, rows):
    for j in range(0, columns):
        buttons[i][j] = tk.Button(frame_buttons, text=("%d,%d" % (i+1, j+1)))
        buttons[i][j].grid(row=i, column=j, sticky='news')
    
frame_buttons.update_idletasks()



canvas.configure(scrollregion=canvas.bbox("all"))

root.mainloop()
