Unable to view leaflet javascript on self-hosted JupyterLab instance?

Javascript-based maps work wonderfully in other Jupyter notebooks (i.e. planetarycomputer), but fail to render on my personal jupyterlab server. e.g. I try:

import leafmap

m = leafmap.Map()
m

and I get the error

Not sure what I’ve done wrong here, maybe my Jupyterlab isn’t configured correctly or needs some additional port? I’ve installed the module and tried restarting the kernel. I see that jupyter-leaflet shows up as “installed” in my “extensions” tab too – despite what the error message says… (Apologies if this kind of issue would be better directed to another forum, please let me know!)

Since this seems like a package-specific usage question / bug report, I feel you’d probably get a faster and better response on the leafmap issue tracker:

perfect, thanks! yup, this issue appears specific to ipyleaflet driver in leafmap that is frequently reported, the other javascript drivers are working fine. Haven’t resolved it yet (no luck with previously reported solutions, which are a bit dated), but will follow up there.
