ipywidget not able to start running another notebook

[lzha174]

I am trying to add a button in a notebook to trigger an execution of another notebook, but it does not respond to the command. Any idea why? The run command works if I run in a separate cell

Hi, Could you please try this way: https://docs.databricks.com/notebooks/notebook-workflows.html#run-usage

Also, https://community.databricks.com/s/question/0D53f00001HKHdNCAX/can-i-run-one-notebook-from-another-n...

Please let us know if this helps.

I think that's what I am doing on line 4 of my code right?

%run command can only be a separate cell.

Sometimes it shows the error:

IllegalArgumentException: Context not valid. If you are calling this outside the main thread, you must set the Notebook context via dbutils.notebook.setContext(ctx), where ctx is a value retrieved from the main thread (and the same cell) via dbutils.notebook.getContext().

Did you end up finding an answer to this? I am running into the same problem
