[FIXED] Google Colab wont connect to local runtime after update

Issue

I recently updated jupter_over_ws to version 0.0.7 and now Google Colab refuses to connect my local runtime.

I have tried multiple iterations of launching the localhost in chrome, running with --no-browser etc and keep receiving a 'Forbidden' 403.

The last iteration I got to in an attempt to connect to the notebook was:

jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.allow_origin='https://colab.research.google.com' --NotebookApp.port_retries=0 --notebook-dir="" --no-browser --allow-root --NotebookApp.token='' --NotebookApp.disable_check_xsrf=True --port=8888

Any help much appreciated

Solution

I solved this by removing the password from the jupyter .config file, then copy and pasting the token url as you have outlined in the answers above, and as outlined in the official colab documentation:
