ArcGIS API for Python in Visual Studio Code not showing maps

[MarkusSchenardi]

I'm trying to display a map inside a jupyter notebook running in Visual Studio Code (with the python and jupyter extension enabled).

Environment is Python 3.7 or 3.8 and arcgis (API for python) 1.8.4.

I created a new conda env as described here: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000022005

Code

The code is very simple in Jupyter:

from arcgis import GIS

gis = GIS(url='https://<abc>.maps.arcgis.com',username='<username>',password='<pwd>')

mymap=gis.map('Zurich')

mymap

PROBLEM

As soon as a map should be displayed in the widget a white box appears with:
Unhandled Error! See the browser console. 

console warning

Messages in the console:

* The same code runs without problems in condas jupyter notebook

* The same code also runs in VS Code when using the conda environment installed with ArcGIS Pro

Any suggestions how to fix this problem?
