I’m trying out the simplest example I could think of in Jupyterlab and it borked… Is there something that I need to do to get vegalite plots to show up properly? (NOTE: it also borks in nteract)

If I do this from the REPL it pops up a new tab in my Firefox browser and the plot is shown normally. So that works at least.

Jupyterlab version 2.1.3 installed a few days ago. Julia 1.4.1 from Debian repo

@davidanthoff? BTW: thanks much for all the work put into this. I’m looking forward to using it all when I get things working.

```julia
using Queryverse;

1:10 |> @map({x=_,y=_^2}) |> @vlplot(:points,x=:x,y=:y)
