Token cannot be pasted in JupyterNotebook in VScode

[JingxinLee]

Hi, I am using jupyternotebook via VScode. But When I run

from huggingface_hub import notebook_login

notebook_login()

I copy the Token, but I cannot paste it in the jupyternotebook in VScode. How to solve it?

!huggingface-cli login

doesn't work either.

Thanks!

Could you explain a bit more why you can't paste it? On my side, I get the login window like on a regular notebook/colab and can paste the token then clean Login.

I copy the token and I want to paste it in the Token textbox， but nothing show in the textbox. I am sure I copied cause I can paste it anywhere except the Token textbox. Click login and Use Password button don't work.

Sounds like an issue with the widgets not properly working in VSCode. There is little we can do on our side to fix it, you should raise the issue on their repos.

[LysandreJik]

As a temporary workaround, since you're running on your personal machine and since the token is shared on a user-level, you should be able to do huggingface-cli login in your console and be logged-in in your notebook.

I experienced the same issue. As a workaround, you could open your .ipynb in Jupyter Notebook, run notebook_login(), add your token and continue. After saving, you can continue in VSCode.

I was having the same issue in Jupyter and I was able to log in with:
from huggingface_hub import interpreter_login

interpreter_login()

For anyone landing on this issue, here is a summary of how to login with the Hub:

The preferred way: use login

It will open the widget in a notebook and default to prompting the user in the terminal.

from huggingface_hub import login

login()

Without user input: login(token="hf_***")

It's also possible to login by providing directly the token. For example, you can get it from an environment variable.

import os
from huggingface_hub import login

login(token=os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN"))

In this example, if the environment is set, it is used. If not, the user is prompted.

Force interpreter or notebook usage

Use interpreter_login or notebook_login if you want to force it to use 1 or the other (instead of the auto-detection). When doing this, you cannot provide the token as input.

For more details, here is the related package reference. Hope this can help future users :)

Thank you.
This method worked for me.

Thanks. I use vs code to login huggingface and apply ur approach. It worked for me.

pour moi cela ne fonctionne pas sur Jupyter
ni from huggingface_hub import interpreter_login

interpreter_login()
ni
from huggingface_hub import notebook_login

notebook_login()

[michaelndam2023]

svp aidez moi

[michaelndam2023]

ni from huggingface_hub import interpreter_login

interpreter_login()

@michaelndam2023 Have you tested solutions presented in #752 (comment)? Also when you say "pour moi cela ne fonctionne pas sur Jupyter", can you be more explicit on the problem you are getting?

Also, please do not send 3 comments in a row requesting for help - this doesn't improve response time on an open-source project.

[michaelndam2023]

@Wauplin oui oui j'ai essayé mais en vain
l'on me dit jeton invalid et pourtant le jeton est correct
Invalid token passed!

[Wauplin]

Re-generate a new token on https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens.

Same Thing on a Mac here, both interpreter and notebook_login does not let paste, and login() runs forever in vscode

[Wauplin]

Hey @pechaut78, sorry for the inconvenient. This bug in VScode is not fixed. What you can do is to use the workarounds described in #752 (comment) and #752 (comment).
