Using a .bat to change directories and run Jupyter



I'm new to coding but I simply want to change directory and run jupyter. The problem is cmd instantly closes once it reaches the jupyter notebook command. Tried cmd /k too but it doesn't have an effect. I must being doing this wrong.


F:
cd directoryname
activate environmentname
jupyter notebook
pause



Solution:
The commands were closing the prompt for some reason when executed in a .bat (they don't when typed). The fix was to type call before the commands.


F:
cd directoryname
call activate environmentname
call jupyter notebook
pause

Assuming activate and jupyter are executables or otherwise valid commands, everything should be okay. Since you're saying the cd command is probably the culprit, try the below:


activate


jupyter


cd



Perhaps you are trying to change to a directory on a different drive... if this is the case you will need to use cd /d directoryname instead.


cd /d directoryname



If this doesn't work, try putting a bunch of pause statements between each command to see exactly where it is breaking.


pause





Pauses between and after all commands results in cmd instantly closing after activate environmentname runs (it skips the post command pause) However either cmd /k activate environment or cmd /k jupyter notebook properly runs either command. But I cannot run both commands using this method.

Create a simple batch file (jnote.bat):


@echo off
call jupyter notebook "%CD%"
pause



In the same folder create a shortcut to the batch file and rename it to jupyter-notebook.



Open the shortcut properties and change the icon to the jupyter.ico. You will find this in the .Menu sub-folder in your Anaconda distribution. You should now have a shortcut with the) nice jupyter icon.



Copy the shortcut to all the folders that you use for your notebooks.
Double-click the shortcut to open jupyter-notebook that folder.



For Windows,


C:Users**UserName**Anaconda3python.exe C:Users**UserName**Anaconda3cwp.py C:Users**UserName**Anaconda3 C:Users**UserName**Anaconda3python.exe C:Users**UserName**Anaconda3Scriptsjupyter-notebook-script.py "**file location**"



Save it in a .bat file, with necessary changes at 'UserName' and 'File Location' . Keep it As a single line
And just need to double click on the file to open jupyter notebook at the location.
Note: File Location is the location of the notebook to open.



I found an alternative way to solve this problem without a .bat.



Search your start menu for "Jupyter Notebook". You should find a shortcut called:



"Jupyter Notebook (environmentname)"



This short cut was created when I set up my environment. In my case environmentname is py35.



To change the directory that Jupyter Notebook starts in find the "Anaconda Prompt" shortcut. Then open "Properties>Shortcut" and change the "Starts in:" field to your desired directory.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
