Notebooks finish execution but still appear to be executing

Glasnoct — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 15:30:38 GMT

I've recently started getting odd behavior from my notebooks and I can't figure out what happened to cause it. Any cell I run, regardless of how simple or involved the code is, always displays "In [*]" regardless of whether it's done executing or not. The kernel says that it is idle and if I have the cell simply print "done" after it executes all other code, then it will do that but "In" never updates to a number like it used to.

Not that I ever use them, but magic commands don't seem to work either. The docs say I can use "%reset -f" but that just returns an exception complaining about the syntax.

I've tried changing the environment, trying it in a new project, and trying it with a new notebook but the behavior persists which is leading me to the belief something, somewhere, screwed up with the installation itself.

Has anyone else run into this behavior?

Hi @Glasnoct,

This happened to me the other day. It was a once off so far. I just refreshed the page it it went back to normal. I'll be sure to add here again if it repeats.

Hey Glasnoct,

That is a strange one. If you try opening this in a Jupyter Notebook and repeating do you get the same issue?

If so then might be worth raising a comment on more Jupyter specific forums. The following Stack Overflow post seems fairly similar and has some suggestions relating to the underlying packages.

Hope that helps,

David

No solution yet but it was a nice surprise to learn they run via a local server and that I can open and interact with the notebooks through my browser (I don't otherwise use jupyter notebooks outside of ArcPro).

I tried a couple of the suggested solutions but they didn't work. I'll have to try updating/deactivating/reactivating Conda and, as I'm still on 3.3, perhaps this will finally be a good excuse to update Arc to 3.4!
