"Save notebook with widgets" doesn't seem to work

[ketch]

I have set up a simple notebook with a widget (which works fine locally), clicked the "save with widgets" menu option, uploaded, and viewed on nbviewer. No widget appears in the notebook (although I can see the widget data in the .ipynb file, at the bottom). Here it is:

http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/ketch/36daf198782102a30f318d38fa5ae13a

I am running ipywidgets 6.0.0.beta7 and widgetsnbextension 2.0.0.beta14. I've tried with both Chrome and Safari browsers.

Can you test again? Playing with Randy, I made this gist, which seems to render fine on nbviewer.

If it works for you, we can close.

After updating everything today, it gives me this:

If that is the intended behavior, then you can close this.

In practical terms for widgets controlling plots, it seems that Staticwidget was removed and has not been replaced by anything; correct?

[ketch]

By the way, the kind of output in that screenshot also appears in various places in the docs. Is that intended?

[SylvainCorlay]

The output widget used by @interact has no counterpart in the static web contexts. So this is the expected behavior as of now.

[ketch]

By the way, @fperez when I look at the gist on nbviewer, the print statement in the second widget does not work. Instead there is the same "could not create model" message. Do you see something different?

[SylvainCorlay]

The reason is that output widgets generated by @interact are not yet supported in static web pages.

What you see is the placeholder widget when a widget type is unknown.

[ketch]

Okay, thank you for the helpful explanations. I'll go ahead and close.

[SylvainCorlay]

It seems that the use of interact + static embedding is something people want. I will go ahead and make an output widget for the static embedder for 6.0.1.

@SylvainCorlay That would be highly appreciated!

No problem. We can most likely reuse a lot of what we did for jupyterlab there.
