“Running cells requires Jupyter notebooks to be installed” error in VS Code

I'm trying to use the new Jupyter integration for the Python extension in VS Code, and I'm getting the above error even though I have Jupyter installed and it works fine from the command prompt.



Here's my environment:




  • Python extension version 2018.10.1, and I see Run Cell/Run All Cells tooltips above #%% comments.

  • I've used the Python: Select Interpreter command to select my Anaconda environment, which is at ~/AppData/Local/Continuum/anaconda3/python.exe.

  • I have Jupyter installed in that interpreter (jupyter.exe is in the Scripts sub-folder under that location), and it runs fine with the jupyter notebook command at the Anaconda prompt.


But whenever I click on Run Cell or press shift-enter, I get this error message:
"Running cells requires Jupyter notebooks to be installed." Source: Python (Extension)



Is there something else I need to do to configure this?

  • I've had a similar problem. For me it worked with jupyter, when I enabled the base environment of my anaconda installation.

  • Check that jupyter.exe is on your path - see my answer to a similar question here - stackoverflow.com/questions/52287117/…

  • I have the same problem, and I am using the base environment. Although I can run jupyter notebook even from inside VS Code in a Python terminal. So it should be working. And adding it to the path completely defeats the purpose of environments, although I haven't tested whether that works. But it states on Microsofts pages that jupyter only needs to be installed in the environment, nothing about Path and whatever. I don't have python in my path and that works as well, obviously.

The problem is an issue in the VS Code python extension itself. There are a number of issues related to this open in the repository: #3354, #3343, #3330, and the issues are being worked on, see #3374.



The reason, as far as I understand, is that in this case - and in some other cases - the anaconda environment is not activated before running the command. Situations where the environment is activated are e.g. opening a python terminal or running a file in the python terminal, but this also needs to happen for Jupyter, Tests, and so on.



While theoretically, adding the Scripts folder to your PATH, as David mentioned, could help, it did not help in my case. This may just not be enough to properly reflect what happens on activation.



My guess is that we will have to wait for this issue to be resolved in the repo, but if someone else finds a workaround, I'd be happy.

  • Thanks, that makes sense. My configuration is the same as yours, and I agree that it feels wrong to start messing around with the path to address this. I have no doubt I could cobble together something that would work that way, but I'd rather keep my isolation of environments clean and wait for a fix.
