[FIXED] Running C++ Jupiter Notebook in VSCode Insiders

Issue

I have installed xeus, xeus-cling and jupyter extension. I changed the kernel to one of the C++ versions, the cell language to C++ but when I click run the cell never outputs. Can someone please help me solve this?

Solution

Running xeus-cling under vs-code

Ceus works in the vs-code environment. You have to activate your conda environment and invoke vs-code from it (i use the code insiders edition). In linux this looks like

conda activate xeus-cling # my env for xeus-cling; where i compiled cling

then invoke code (insiders) in your project directory

code-insiders .& # or code .& if you are using the stable version

If you have still problems try the following:

• start a jupyter notebook from command line (of course in your conda environment described above)

   jupyter notebook --no-browser
  

  Copy or remember the line with the token, which looks like http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=8daf8f57bef55918defb467defc55f0305803caa27dd01d2

• next go to code-insiders and click on the bottom bar Jupyter Server: Remote

• on the top of the window a list will pop up, looking like

• select Existing or copy the token into it

• now a message should appear reload kernel , click on the button to do so

• in the bottom bar select the kernel to e.g. C++14

• create a new blank jupyter worksheet and don't forget to change the cell to C++ !!
