It looks like you aren't connected to any Jupyter servers, so the cells are actually waiting to be run. Please see Visual Studio Docs on how to set up:

Setting up your environment

To work with Python in Jupyter Notebooks, you must activate an Anaconda environment in VS Code, or another Python environment in which you've installed the Jupyter package. To select an environment, use the Python: Select Interpreter command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

Once the appropriate environment is activated, you can create and open a Jupyter Notebook, connect to a remote Jupyter server for running code cells, and export a Jupyter Notebook as a Python file.

Once a cell is ran properly, there should be a green tick under the cell like below:

r/vscode on Reddit: VS Code Interactive Window Not Showing Output with Jupyter Notebooks
January 18, 2025 -

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new to the Python world, and I probably sound like a dummy here, but I could really use some help!

I'm trying to run a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) on VS Code and send the results to the Interactive Window. However, no matter what I try, the output doesn't show up in the Interactive Window.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • I have Anaconda installed and I'm using MacOS.

  • I’ve installed the necessary extensions: Python, Jupyter, and even Python Data Science.

  • Running .py files works fine and I can see the output in the Interactive Window, but when I try to run a .ipynb file, I can’t even find the option to "Run in Interactive Window" or see any output there.

I’m a bit lost, and I’ve tried various solutions I found online, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas or guidance would be much appreciated! 🙏

r/learnpython on Reddit: How to change output display in Jupyter Notebook/VS Code
February 27, 2024 -

I'm trying to run both df.head() and df.tail() from the same code cell so the output of both is a neat table. Is this possible? I don't like how print() outputs.

When conducting data exploration (using something like df.head()) I like the output to be in a neatly formatted, scrollable table. I achieve this if I just run head() or tail() in its own code cell. I keep running into the issue of wanting to display the head() and tail() of the same dataset or the head() of multiple datasets. The only way I can make this happen from the same code cell is to use print() but doing so makes the output look like trash. Additionally, I find it messy to have a code cell just to call a single function like head().

I'm running jupyter notebooks in vs code.

r/vscode on Reddit: My Cell Output in VS Code while using Jupyter Notebooks has turned gray, but my code is still visible.
January 30, 2023 -

I was coding in VSC using Jupyter and I dropped my phone on my keyboard and all of my cells became gray. I'm not sure how to fix it.

I don't know if my file size is too big, or If there are too many plotly graphics in my notebook, but I can't find a way to fix it.

I've tried re-installing the regular/stable version of VSC, installing VSC-Insiders, clearing my cache (I believe I did this correctly via stack posts).

Here's a link to a screenshot of what I am seeing: https://imgur.com/a/fkfHw9r

Is this possibly because I am using plotly for all of my visuals instead of png's?

I have a similar, larger file with roughly the same number of visuals where this problem isn't occurring

October 16, 2024 - I have installed all required extensions, the Jupyter notebook UI looks fine but when running the cell then no output. It displays "No renderer found for the type". Tried to change presentation. It appears that "Renderers for Jupyter Notebooks in Visual Studio Code" extension is not being recognized/picked up. It is only showing application/vnd.code.notebook.stdout as a mimetype option. Using the exact replica in VSCode and it works fine there.

I did turn on verbose logging in the settings for jupyter but where should I be seeing the logs at? You say 'output panel' do you mean the results of executing the cell? Nothing shows up there (except the outcome of the cell as expected). If i do something like print('hello world') it prints and finishes as it should.
