Package: cate-jl-ext
cate_jl_extCate JupyterLab extensionThis extension allows running Cate App within JupyterLab.The extension is composed of a Python package namedcate_jl_extfor the server extension and a NPM package namedcate-jl-extfor the frontend extension.NOTEThis extension is still experimental and has neither been packaged
nor deployed. Refer to the sectionDevelopmentbelow for dev installs.RequirementsJupyterLab >= 3.0cate >= 3.1.4InstallTo install the extension, execute:pipinstallcate_jl_extUninstallTo remove the extension, execute:pipuninstallcate_jl_extTroubleshootIf you are seeing the frontend extension, but it is not working, check
that the server extension is enabled:jupyterserverextensionlistIf the server extension is installed and enabled, but you are not seeing
the frontend extension, check the frontend extension is installed:jupyterlabextensionlistDevelopmentSetup environmentMake sure to have a source installation ofcatein a dedicated Python

folder:cd${projects}gitclonehttps://github.com/CCI-Tools/cate-jl-ext.gitcdcate-jl-extInstall the initial project dependencies and install the extension into
the JupyterLab environment. Copy the frontend part of the extension into
JupyterLab. We can run this pip install command again every time we make
a change to copy the change into JupyterLab.pipinstall-ve.Create a symbolic link from JupyterLab to our source directory.
This means our changes are automatically available in JupyterLab:jupyterlabextensiondevelop--overwrite.If successful, we can run JupyterLab and check if the extension
works as expected:jupyterlabBuild after changesRun the following to rebuild the extension. This will be required
after any changes ofpackage.jsonor changes of frontend TypeScript
files and other resources.jlpmrunbuildIf you wish to avoid building after each change, you can run thejlpmrunwatchfrom your extension directory in another terminal.
This will automatically compile the TypeScript files as they
are changed and saved.ContributingDevelopment installNote: You will need NodeJS to build the extension package.Thejlpmcommand is JupyterLab's pinned version ofyarnthat is installed with JupyterLab.

Refresh JupyterLab to load the change in your browser (you may need to wait several seconds for the extension to be rebuilt).By default, thejlpm buildcommand generates the source maps for this extension to make it easier to debug using the browser dev tools. To also generate source maps for the JupyterLab core extensions, you can run the following command:jupyterlabbuild--minimize=FalseDevelopment uninstall# Server extension must be manually disabled in develop modejupyterserverextensiondisablecate_jl_ext
pipuninstallcate_jl_extIn development mode, you will also need to remove the symlink created byjupyter labextension developcommand. To find its location, you can runjupyter labextension listto figure out where thelabextensionsfolder is located. Then you can remove the symlink namedcate-jl-extwithin that folder.Testing the extensionServer testsThis extension is usingPytestfor Python code testing.Install test dependencies (needed only once):pipinstall-e".[test]"# Each time you install the Python package, you need to restore the front-end extension linkjupyterlabextensiondevelop.--overwriteTo execute them, run:pytest-vv-rap--covcate_jl_extFrontend testsThis extension is usingJestfor JavaScript code testing.To execute them, execute:jlpm
