Jupyter notebook not rendering in github

[erichamers]

Hi! I'm having an issue with this specific notebook where it doesn't render at all in github. I get the message "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?". It does work in nbviewer though.

Here is the link to the notebook:
https://github.com/erichamers/Cursos/blob/master/Regressa%CC%83o%20Linear/Mercado%20Imobilia%CC%81rio%20USA%20-%20Regressa%CC%83o%20Linear.ipynb

[chethanjjj]

I also have this problem

[koper921]

Nice i have the same problem i have commtited less than one hour, i think if de push tomorrow again it will be good

[vevurka]

I also have the same issue for all my notebooks, which previously worked :/ f.e. https://github.com/vevurka/mt-lob/blob/master/queue_imbalance/kernel_choice.ipynb

[bugo99iot]

Hey, same issue here. Any news?

[takluyver]

@vevurka's example seems to work from me. Github runs the rendering on their site themselves, so we don't have any direct insight when it goes wrong. But if there's a problem, don't forget you can always copy the URL into https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/ .

[vevurka]

@takluyver yeah, right now it seems to work. That's weird. Maybe github has some issues with aws (I saw some 404 in my browsers console when it tried to get https://github-render.s3.amazonaws.com/prod/... when it didn't work). It should always work though :(.

[bugo99iot]

My Notebooks still aren't showing.

An example: https://github.com/bugo99iot/airbnb_k_nearest/blob/master/airbnb_k_nearest.ipynb

Any idea why?

[yash64]

Even I have the same issue.. There were many solutions provided in another thread to open the notebook in nbviewer. Here is the reply

"try to open that notebook that you want using nbviewer online, you
don't need to install it, i will try with that link you sent:

open "https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/" ans paste the notebook link. this is
an independent tool that may work when github doesnt"

Try and see if this works. I was getting 404 : Not Found error though.

[hravat]

Hi @yash64 "https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/" works.
Just paste entire github link in it

[ggrrll]

https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/ is not a solution for private repos though ...

I realize that it might be a size issue...does it make sense ? @takluyver
GitHub would not render notebooks above x size ...what is x ? around 10 MB ? (in my experience ...)
Is x browser-dependent ?

[ryanrunchey]

I am having the same issue where my work private repo will not show jupyter notebooks only anymore, starting just this afternoon, including jupyter notebooks that i have not recently pushed.

[montebhoover]

After working on a repo of jupyter notebooks over the past month, I've had this intermittent issue twice. It seems to resolve itself in 4-5 hours. Here is an example that is currently failing to render: https://github.com/Microsoft/NimbusML-Samples/blob/master/samples/1.1%20%5BNumeric%5D%20Classification%20with%20Synthetic%20Data.ipynb

Here is another that is failing: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/docs/source/examples/Notebook/What%20is%20the%20Jupyter%20Notebook.ipynb

And one that is succeeding:
https://github.com/julienr/ipynb_playground/blob/master/perceptron/perceptron.ipynb

Failing to render jupyter notebook
Here's an example :
Jupyter noteook

[montebhoover]

To add some temporal info in case it is helpful, the notebooks from my comment 16 hours ago are now rendering. The notebook from @Raghavendra-Gali's comment is still not rendering 4 hours after his comment. Based on my past experience my guess is that that notebook will resume rendering soon. (Again, all of these render on https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/.)

[lukeml]

I'm having this problem right now, but only with Chrome. It renders fine with Firefox. Might be one of my Chrome extensions I guess.

[PhilipMay]

I have the same problem. The problem is even there with the links posted obove. So it is not a question of time. I use Firefox btw...

[cottrell]

Any options as a work around (off github)?

[PhilipMay]

I think it is a Firefox specific bug. I tried it with iPad (Safari) and with Edge and it was fine with them.

[haryodollybim419]

Guys, with time it will fix itself and give the appropriate format, check mine out: https://gist.github.com/haryodollybim419/2599b336d82eef4f4a6a9a224a369273

[PhilipMay]

For me it's working again. I think they fixed it.

[ggrrll]

um...not really...for instance I cannot see @haryodollybim419 's
https://gist.github.com/haryodollybim419/2599b336d82eef4f4a6a9a224a369273

• safari 12.0.1 -- it keep telling me Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?
• firefox 64.0 and chrome 71.0.3578.98 give this

[ChandlerBBT]

@PhilipMay I just push my .ipynb to Gist，and still can't render. Anyone have the same issue at this moment?

[tygithub18]

Yes, Github is still not rendering iPython files right now. Even new or existing iPython files that it used to render. I suspect that Github is still working on trying to resolve this problem.

When I try to view a iPython file, it tries to render it for about 20 seconds and then gives me an message that says, "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?"

[PhilipMay]

For me this here is rendering correctly at the moment:
https://github.com/Microsoft/NimbusML-Samples/blob/master/samples/1.1%20%5BNumeric%5D%20Classification%20with%20Synthetic%20Data.ipynb

Mac, Firefox

[tygithub18]

Thank you PhilipMay. Yes, it is now rendering. Even my existing stuff is rendering now. Thank you for your reply.

[markste-in]

I was able to fix it after I turned off the Ghostery-Plugin in Chrome

[ggrrll]

example from @PhilipMay is also rendering on Safari 12.0.1

@rgerkin
to 1.) Definitely GitHub would be the right address for this issue. However, there seems to be no official issue tracker for github - only an unofficial one: https://github.com/isaacs/github (detailed discussion on the missing GitHub issue tracker can be found here: isaacs/github#6) - the only option is sending an email to the support. https://github.com/contact

to 2.) I agree, this is a nice workaround (I recommended that on some of my repositories after I found this issue) - but as you mentioned this would never work with private repositories and thus is no general solution.

For solution kindly go through this link https://medium.com/@pg170898/problem-facing-at-github-ipynb-is-not-loading-f986a04649f3

[akskuchi]

This is bad. If not for Jupyter notebooks rendering, what's the point of Github in 2019? Annoying :|

[priyanshgupta1998]

I hope here You will find the solution ....just go through this link https://medium.com/@pg170898/problem-facing-at-github-ipynb-is-not-loading-f986a04649f3

[abdullahalhoothy]

@priyanshgupta1998 i went to the medium page and i followed solution#1 ,what it does is show me the jupyter notebook correctly , which is great
but i wouldn't be able to link a section of it to the read me. would I ?

[WittmannF]

Everyone should reach out to the support of Github: https://support.github.com/contact. They might solve this bug if they get many complaints about it.

[tslevi-unbounce]

That medium post unfortunately doesn't work for private repos (of which all of my company's are).

[MohdAzamSayeed]

yes facing same issue, jupyter notebook unable to render correctly on github gist, which is impacting medium post as well

[theofil]

same problem reoccurring, whenever we don't need it, thanks to Murphy 's law
https://github.com/theofil/CompPhysics/tree/master/examples

[BjornFJohansson]

This affects me too. Before it happened sometimes, and I could refresh to get it working. Now I havent been able to render notebooks for several weeks.

[halil-k]

Github needs to fix this. It's been days and still no luck on multiple notebooks I uploaded. And some of them work for some time then fail again. Very dodgey rendering

[gdcutting]

I'm currently having the same issue (with this notebook and others). Uploaded a few hours ago, it wouldn't render at first, then it did for a while, now it's not again. I didn't make any changes to the notebook, so it seems unnecessary to refresh the render.

The problem for me (and others I'm sure) is that occasional rendering isn't really helpful. I am trying to embed the gist for this notebook in a blog post; if someone sees the post with the broken Gist, they probably will assume it's my mistake and not a GitHub problem, which makes me look bad.

It's unfortunate because these notebook embeds are quite useful, but until they are working reliably again I guess I will have to find another solution.

[BjornFJohansson]

@gdcutting, your blog post renders for me right now. I have been in contact with github over this and they were very responsive. They could not provide any ETA for a final fix. Maybe we should all head over to https://github.community and collect all our woes in order to raise this issue on the github priority list.

[leimao]

What is the cause behind this?

[BjornFJohansson]

@priyanshgupta1998 will not work for private repos, I presume.

One cumbersome workaround is to download the notebook file and use this

[anthnyprschka]

Still not working for our private repo notebooks

[williamsdaniel888]

Yup same here, we're using private notebooks

[PBrockmann]

Perhaps that this issue should be reopened.
I get horizontal display from a notebook just saved in a gitHub repository.
https://github.com/VerifyH2020/VERIFY_examples_notebooks/blob/master/Time_serie_plot_01.ipynb

Tested with different browsers. So don't understand what is happening...

[PrometheusPi]

@PBrockmann This is the first notebook I have seen with this issue. Might this be caused by the cell before which contains some (wrongly formatted?) html tags?

<img align="left" width="10%" src="http://verify.lsce.ipsl.fr/images/drawing_20180302.png" >
Patrick BROCKMANN - LSCE (Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory)
</div> 

[PBrockmann]

Indeed.
But why a markdown cell would have this implication ?
Note the the markdown produces a correct display when used from the notebook.

It is ok when I pass the html tag hr in a markdown cell after.

[pynkfloydfan]

I've had this problem for over a year. And I don't think it is caused by github because if I try to export the notebook as html, the html version also appears horizontal and squeezed. nbviewer produces the same view as does Firefox and Chrome.

Can anyone here even get a proper looking html export at all?

https://github.com/pypinkfloydfan/Time_Series/blob/master/Time_Series_Project.ipynb

[Khantanjil]

Well, for me, only renders in github if i click on the "Raw" button,

And now is rendering!

[Khantanjil]

if i go back, renders
