I have created some notebooks in Juliabox that use ‘Interact’ for widget interaction and ‘Plotly’ for interactive 2d and 3d scatter plots. They’ve been working really well and I was hoping to demo them at an upcoming presentation, however, for some reason neither module now works and Jupyter is not outputting any error to work from.

I think the problem started after downloading some data in a Terminal window with wget and unzipping it, but not sure why this would have an impact.

I’ve tried unloading and reloading all the packages and have exhausted my knowledge. Any ideas on how to resurrect the functionality? If all else fails I think a total environment reset without losing my notebooks and data may fix is this possible?

I managed to find an error using Chrome’s developer tool → Console Tab

Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘[https://juliabox.com/notebook/assetserver/[snipped....]f7bd0eb-assets/providers/ijulia\_setup.js](https://juliabox.com/notebook/assetserver/%5Bsnipped....%5Df7bd0eb-assets/providers/ijulia_setup.js)’ (redirected from ‘[https://www.juliabox.com/assetserver/[snipped....]f7bd0eb-assets/providers/ijulia\_setup.js](https://www.juliabox.com/assetserver/%5Bsnipped....%5Df7bd0eb-assets/providers/ijulia_setup.js)’) from origin 'https : // www .juliabox.com

It appears when running

```julia
using Interact

```

Does this help?

Promisingly these two modules started to work again in the last 24 hours BUT aren’t working again as of now. I just tested and saw a Gateway Timeout (blue) error appear in Jupyter, If someone is working on this in the background, your’re on the right track, thank you!
