fixing ipywidgets

[choldgraf]

This is an attempt at fixing ipywidgets following the suggestions of @akhmerov...for some reason it still doesn't work though :-/

[akhmerov]

Still this to add?

[choldgraf]

@akhmerov i believe that is here: https://github.com/ExecutableBookProject/sphinx-notebook/blob/master/sphinx_notebook/__init__.py#L83

[akhmerov]

Uhhh, maybe this then? :)

[akhmerov]

Or otherwise did you verify that the notebook that you're converting has widget state metadata stored?

[choldgraf]

I believe it does -if I open it up in jupyterlab then the widgets pop back up. I added in the javascript code from the function you mentioned - that definitely should be there either way

[choldgraf]

ugh - OK I think I figured out what the problem is - bootstrap (loaded by the theme we're using) seems to be clashing with RequireJS (required by ipywidgets). It's not related to this codebase at all :-P

I opened up jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets#2787 and pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme#93 to try and spot-check this.

@akhmerov do you know if anybody has gotten jupyter-sphinx to run on a bootstrap-based site?

Latest commit should get this working by switching themes to Alabaster, which doesn't have this problem. These docs aren't complex enough yet to warrant a theme like pydata anyway, so we can test on alabaster and spot-check the pydata them problem in another issue
