jlab_aiidatree's Issues

Get Binder working properly

The Binder is now nominally working, to have the extension's widget show.
However, there are two outstanding issues:

1. We want to generate an example AiiDA profile to populate it.

Currrently there is an issue creating the postgres database in the Binder Docker container: (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1899343)

$ initdb here
$ reentry scan
$ verdi quicksetup
...
pytz.exceptions.UnknownTimeZoneError: '/UTC'

Note: patching /srv/conda/envs/notebook/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tzlocal/unix.py::86, removes the exception:

tz = pytz.timezone('Etc' + etctz.replace(' ', '_'))

2. The POST request is failing with Not a JSON response body.: Error on POST /jlab_aiidatree/querybuilder [object Object].

See: jupyterlab/extension-cookiecutter-ts#153

This does not appear to happen locally, but it is of note that I saw the same issue when connecting in the browser to a port "dynamically generated" from inside a VS Code container.
I got this to work by instead, specifically exposing port 8888:8888 and starting jupyterlab from inside the container with: jupyter lab --allow-root --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 --no-browser --port-retries 0

Make available in the JupyterLab Extension Manager (npm release)

It needs to be released on npm for this

See:

• https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/extensions.html#finding-extensions

The AiiDA server as seperate service extension

See: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/extension/extension_dev.html#plugins-interacting-with-each-other

Essentially we want a single extension that contains the server side connection to aiida, and a front end that just provides an API for interfacing with it (no actual widgets).

Then other extensions only need to implement the front-end widgets, of which there can be any number

Add unit testing

See:

• https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/extension/extension_dev.html?#testing-your-extension
• jupyterlab/extension-cookiecutter-ts#137

Add PyPI/npm Release GitHub Actions CI
