Failed to load the jupyterlab-git server extension

[GretaVilla]

I'm using an Azure virtual machine. In jupyter lab I downloaded the git extension with:
pip install jupyterlab-git
and downloaded @jupyterlab/git from the extension manager.

After refresh I get the following error:
"Git server extension is unavailable. Please ensure you have installed the JupyterLab Git server extension by running: pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git. To confirm that the server extension is installed, run: jupyter server extension list."

I did run pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git and everything seems fine, requirements were already installed.
From the output of jupyter server extension list I can correctly see the extension:

Could you please execute JupyterLab in debug mode (CLI option --debug) and provide here the server logs?

[HananInfiniGrow]

Since I am using TLJH I don't run jupyterlab explicitly. The hub runs it automatically. I don't know how to turn on debugging in this situation. I might just cancel the TLJH and go with a simple bare metal jupyterlab.

I'm running jupyterLab from an Azure ML compute instance, which automatically opens JupyterLab. I'm not sure how to turn on debugging

I have the same issue，but i don't know what should i do;

I'm having this issue in AWS SageMaker. Here's the output from the debug command:

[mk-raven]

have the same problem with installl extensions in jupyterhub.
Any update?

[krassowski]

Ah, there are logs above after all. In JupyterHub the problem might be because extension was installed after the server started. No idea as to AWS SageMaker - maybe best to ask SageMaker folks?

CC @JasonWeill in case if you know what the procedure for reporting issues specific to AWS SageMaker might be.

[mk-raven]

No one provided the jupyter server logs with --debug so for now the only thing we can say is that it is likely because the extension was installed after the server has already started.

is it problem if extension installed after server was running?
Maybe could be some solution?

[fcollonval]

is it problem if extension installed after server was running?

Yes because there are no dynamic loading of extensions. So if it not there before, it will never appear.

Maybe could be some solution?

No magic except restarting the server to reload extensions.

I got the same error when I installed the git extension for the first time and refreshed the jupyter lab, but when I relaunch the lab there was no such issue.
