(I posted the query on the Jupyter forum, and was suggested that the issue might lie with `Interact.jl` . Therefore, I’m bringing the question here for further insights.)
I’ve been using Julia in Jupyter Notebook (NB) to make interactive plots with `Interact.jl`. It worked well until I upgraded Jupyter, and then the slider disappeared without any error messages.
**Before the upgrade:**
- NB version 6 (6.4.12) worked fine.
- Lab version 3 (3.4.4) had issues with the slider not updating graphs, but I didn’t mind since NB was okay.
**After the upgrade:**
- NB version 7 (7.1.2) and Lab version 4 (4.1.5) both failed to show the slider, with no errors.
- Downgrading to NB 6.4.12 fixed the issue for NB.
- The current version of nbclassic also works.
However, downgrading isn’t a long-term fix and the nbclassic is a transitional product. So I’m looking for solutions for both NB (preferably) or Lab.
Someone from the Jupyter forum [suggested that the issue may lie with the `Interact.jl`](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/slider-does-not-show-after-upgrade-jupyter/24752/5).
The problem’s MWE:
```julia
using Interact, Plots
@manipulate for n in 1:5:100
plot(rand(n))
end
```
I’m on Windows 10 and 11, using `ipywidgets` 8.1.2 and Julia 1.10.2. I installed the widgets with:
- `conda install -n base -c conda-forge widgetsnbextension`
- `conda install -n base -c conda-forge ipywidgets`
- `jupyter nbextension install --py widgetsnbextension`
- `jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension`
I’d appreciate any alternative solutions or fixes.

Hi,
I am bumping this thread (not sure if it’s allowed).
I am also trying to make Interact work in Jupyter Lab. Given [this issue](https://github.com/JuliaGizmos/WebIO.jl/issues/514) is still on, I assume it is still broken ?
Is there any chance it will be fixed at some point ?
Also, is there a way to make it work meanwhile ? Perhaps by downgrading ?
Thanks,

I can confirm that downgrading the notebook provides a temporary solution:
```julia
pip install notebook==6.4.12
```
However, as mentioned in my original post, this is not a long-term fix. It’s disheartening because Julia is such a great tool for teaching, with its intuitive syntax and other benefits. Interactive plots significantly enhance its teaching value, and losing this feature would be a major drawback for Julia in the classroom.

I’m hitting this problem with a collaborator. I have an older jupyter/jupyterlab installed by Conda.jl some time ago, but when he does install he gets new shiny and broken jupyterlab.
Is there a way to ask Conda.jl to downgrade jupyterlab to 3.x.x so this works?
