Hi @dplautjhmi , It seems you’re encountering an issue with bamboolib when trying to display the widget. This can be a bit tricky, but let’s troubleshoot it together. 

Here are some steps you can try:

Check Dependencies:

• Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed. Sometimes, widget-related errors occur due to missing or incompatible packages.
• Verify that you have ipywidgets installed. If not, you can install it using:pip install ipywidgets
• Additionally, make sure you have the correct version of JupyterLab or Jupyter Notebook.

Enable Widget Extensions:

• If you’re using JupyterLab, run the following command to enable widget extensions:jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
• Restart your JupyterLab or Jupyter Notebook session after enabling the extension.

Check Databricks Runtime Version (if applicable):

• If you’re using Databricks, ensure that you’re using at least Databricks Runtime 11.0. bamboolib has specific requirements for Databricks, and this version is the minimum requirement1.

Restart the Kernel:

• Sometimes, a simple kernel restart can resolve widget-related issues. Try restarting the kernel and re-running the cell.

Clear Output and Re-run:

• Clear the output of the cell where you encountered the error.
• Re-run the cell and see if the widget displays correctly.

Remember that widget-related issues can be finicky, and the solution might vary based on your specific environment and setup. If the problem persists, consider checking the official documentation for Bamboolib.

Good luck, and may your widgets be ever-responsive! 🚀🍌

I am getting the same below error message while trying to use Bamboolib in a databricks notebook.

Error: Could not display the widget. Please re-run the cell.

I have installed the pypi libraries for bamboolib on the cluster and the databricks runtime version on the cluster is 13.3 LTS

I am wondering if there is anything i could do to get it working?

Thanks
