A Visual Studio Code extension that provides basic notebook support for language kernels in Zeppelin Notebooks. This is NOT a Zeppelin Server or language kernel--you must have a Zeppelin Server 0.8.0 or afterwards for notebooks to run properly in VS Code.
Currently the extension development does not consider notebook permission, version control and cron job. If you believe these are important, please fire an issue.
Features
Zeppelin notebook file rendered in VS Code, just like Juypter Notebook does.
Paragraph runnable (either in sequence or in parallel) in notebook, by communicating with Zeppelin server.
Local changes automatically synced with server, vice versa.
Get Started
Install Zeppelin VS Code Extension.
Download Zeppelin notebook file (either .json or .zpln) from Zeppelin web server.
Rename file suffix into ".zpln" if it is ".json".
Open it using VS Code, during first cell run you will be prompted to provide server url and credential.
How to Use
Want to create a notebook (.zpln file) that doesn't exist on the server? Just open it and specify the saving path as prompted.
Zeppelin credential settings can be accessed by searching for 'zeppelin' in setting or command palette.
Once the interpreter is typed in the cell (e.g., %python), its status is shown at the button right portion of the cell, you may restart the kernel by clicking on it.
In Zeppelin web UI, code languages are determined by magic command, while in VSCode you need to manually select the language mode in the bottom right corner of the cell. If you cannot find the desired language in the list, please search and install the extension that supports as language server from extension marketplace.
:bell:Tips
Internally local changes to the notebook are updated to the Zeppelin server in every 3 seconds (by default),
and local notebook file will be completely replaced by the server version every time it is opened or activated. You may disable this in settings.
If you cannot see the progress bar, it is in the text output, you can toggle output type by clicking "..." button at the left side of the cell output.
Please avoid modifying a running cell (i.e., editing, moving cell, cut/copy and paste cell. Deleting is allowed) as Zeppelin doesn't support this while VSCode does. If you accidentally did this, close and reopen the notebook to ensure the notebook is synced.
The interaction with local git is still under development, use with caution!
Feedback
Desperately needed! Please do report bugs or advise any improvements.I realize many people use this extension for a better code completion and highlight, if you cannot find a language in the list of cell language model that is supported in Zeppelin, please do let me know by firing an issue.
