Error when trying to subclass Bokeh.models.Div

Hello, I’m trying to extend a bokeh class. Here’s some sample code:

class TestDiv(Div):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Div, self).__init__(text="")
        __implementation__ = JavaScript("")

I can instantiate this all right:

TestDiv()

# returns TestDiv(	id = '1002', …)

however, when i try to display it using bokeh.potting.show, I get this error:

show(TestDiv())

any help appreciated!

show tries to auto-generate a filename for the saved HTML file if you don’t provide one, e.g. from a current script filename. But that’s not always possible, and it can’t handle whatever your situation is (you have not said… ipython console session maybe?) You will ned to provide your own filename to use via output_file or else call save and then open the resulting file yourself with the stdlib webbroswer module.

hi @Bryan thanks for the response! i want to use this within a bokeh server app, so using output_file isn’t an option.

my situation now is testing this in a jupyter notebook, but eventually i want this component to be used in a bokeh server app

is there some workaround here?

and you’re right in that i get this error only when i call output_notebook

FYI output_notebook should work but you have to call output_notebook after the extension is defined. (The output_notebook is exactly the action that “loads” the extension JS into the browser runtime)

still no luck I’m afraid:

from bokeh.io import output_notebook
from pycore.ui import TestDiv # this is where I define TestDiv, see above for class
from bokeh.plotting import show

TestDiv()
output_notebook()

throws this error:

looks like this is the issue:

File ~/opt/anaconda3/envs/isxtools/lib/python3.8/site-packages/bokeh/embed/bundle.py:298, in _bundle_extensions(objs, resources)
    296 names.add(name)
    297 module = __import__(name)
--> 298 this_file = abspath(module.__file__)

is there some way to give some dummy path to objects that inherit from Div?

@sg-s I am not sure why it is trying to load any file at all, unless maybe your implementation is in a sidecar .js file? I can’t really speculate further without a complete Minimal Reproducible Example to actually run directly and investigate.

yes, i should have put the pieces together. here is a minimum reproducible example:

i have a file called test.py which looks like:

from bokeh.models import Div
from bokeh.util.compiler import JavaScript


class TestDiv(Div):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Div, self).__init__(text="")
        __implementation__ = JavaScript("")

then, in a jupyter notebook, i have this:

from bokeh.io import output_notebook
from bokeh.plotting import show
from test import TestDiv

output_notebook(hide_banner=True)

print(TestDiv())

show(TestDiv())

i get this output:

TestDiv(id='1012', ...) 

Javascript Error: Model 'test.TestDiv' does not exist. This could be due to a widget or a custom model not being registered before first usage.

i realize this is differnet from the error i had initially, but i still can’t figure out why i get this. i found this thread but couldn’t find anything that helps

I’m using Bokeh v2.4.3, on macOS. this error is on multiple browsers (Safari, Chrome, FF)

i don’t see any errors in the JS console

@sg-s where is the JavaScript implementation? I would regard a custom extensions with no implementation as undefined behavior. There is no automatic inheritance on the JS side, you must provide a minimal actual implementation of something.

I do think the extension compiler trying to use the “current module” when loading the bundle is an issue, though perhaps all we can do about that is document the case for notebooks. Please file a GitHub Issue with these details. In the mean time, best practice is really to put the JS implementation in a sidecar .js file, and provide the path to that, for the implementation. Does that improve things?

thank you, i did not understand this at all, and thought inheriting from Div would create an object that retained the behavior of Div. perhaps this should be clarified in the docs?

i guess the next step for me is to figure out how to copy Div 's JS behavior

Happy to consider any docs PR however the docs do already state this IMO:

While the Python side has little to no code, the JavaScript side requires code to implement the model.

https://docs.bokeh.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/extensions.html#javascript-models-and-views

Just reiterating I do think there is an issue to file, something is trying to assume module.__file__ which will not work in main modules. That either needs a fix or a workaround or at least to be documented.

thank you! i’ll collect my thoughts and file an issue about the __file__ behavior i saw
