fix: trust new notebooks and notebooks with new cells

[maartenbreddels]

Problem

When a new notebook cell is created from the front end (this includes creating a new notebook), the notebook is not trusted after a page reload. The core issue is that nbclassic creates an invalid notebook on the front end, which does not follow the nbformat 4.5 schema.

This problem only happens when Jupyter notebook 6.x/nbclassic is used in combination with nbformat >=5.1.0 (where nbformat schema 4.5 was introduced) or higher.
Before nbformat 5.1.0, there were no cell-ID's in the notebook format JEP 62.
Starting from nbformat 5.1.0, Cell-ID's are added to notebook data jupyter/nbformat#189.

Following JEP 62, raw_cell, markdown and code_cell should include an id field. When it is not present, nbformat will add the id field to the cell to make it valid according to the schema.

However, this happens after the notebook is 'trusted'. I am not an expert on the notary system, but mutation of the notebook after it is marked trusted will basically turn the notebook into an untrusted notebook.

Therefore, if we want to make use of the notary system as intended, we should send valid notebooks from the front end to the back end.

Steps to reproduce

• Install and run

$ pip install "nbclassic<7" "nbformat>=5.1.0"
$ jupyter nbclassic

• Create a new notebook
• Add this to a cell:

import IPython.display
IPython.display.Javascript("window.javascriptExecuted = true")

• Execute the cell
• Save the notebook
• Reload the notebook

Now, the notebook is seen as not trusted.

One could argue, this is not that bad, since it's a one time thing, but it is not: After trusting the notebook, add a new cell to the notebook, save, reload. The notebook is now again seen as untrusted.

Expected behavior

A new notebook and a notebook after a cell is added should be trusted after a reload.

Related issues / PRs

• V7: Untrusted notebook on releoad. notebook#6828 This behaviour is also seen in notebook v7 (I did not validate this)
• Ambiguous warning about missing cell IDs nbformat#359
• Ensure that cell ids persist after save notebook#5928

Solution

We should send valid notebooks from the front end to the back end. This means adding the id field to the raw_cell, markdown, and code_cell when they are created.

This PR is modeled after jupyterlab/jupyterlab#10018. Although the id field should only be set for the raw_cell, markdown and code_cell, the JupyterLab PR sets the id field for all cell types, we only do this for the raw_cell, markdown and code_cell as per the JEP 62.

As explained in the code, we use a uuid trimmed to 8 characters, like nbformat.

Thank you @maartenbreddels! I have tried running this locally and I am running into a test failure for the end_to_end/test_trust.py and in trying the functionality out, I continue to see an untrusted notebook when I am reloading the page. This led me to look into the CI tests to see what the output there looks like and I see that for the trust_test.py in runs like on macos-12 with python 3.8, out of the 18 statements, 18 are Miss and the coverage is 0% on the coverage report. On many of more of these tests running on CI, there appears to be 0% coverage as opposed to the results of running locally, where I ran the tests with python -m pytest -vv nbclassic/tests/end_to_end --cov=nbclassic as opposed to the command used in the CI python -m pytest -vv --cov=nbclassic --cov-report term-missing:skip-covered || python -m pytest -vv --cov=nbclassic --cov-report term-missing:skip-covered. I may be misinterpreting or misunderstanding this so I would appreciate another set of eyes on this or some additional clarification! Thank you in advance!

Hi @RRosio

thank you for taking a look at this PR so thoroughly. Did you rebuild the JavaScript? A npm run build should be enough I think.

The test results you are looking at only runs the tests from the tests directory, it does not run the playwright/browser tests. If you look at for instance:
https://github.com/jupyter/nbclassic/actions/runs/8853167617/job/24313402768?pr=275
You will see

PASSED nbclassic/tests/end_to_end/test_trust.py::test_trust

Showing the test ran and passed.

I hope this clarifies things. If not, I'm happy to assist further.

Regards,

Maarten

[RRosio]

Hi @maartenbreddels thank you for your reply and clarification! I completely forgot to rebuild the JS assets after checking out the branch! I did notice the Playwright Tests were actually running afterward but I was stuck on the local test failing.

I've tried it out and it works great thank you!!

[jph00]

@RRosio thank you so much for merging this PR -- it fixes a bug that's been driving us crazy for over a year, so it's really marvellous to have it available. :D

[JasonWeill]

@RRosio Thank you so much for merging this! Are you able to cut a new release containing this fix? Looks like there hasn't been an official nbclassic release since 1.0.0, which was released just over a year ago.

[maartenbreddels]

Hi @RRosio, if I can help with anything related to making a release, please let me know. I'd love to see this high-friction fix released.

[RRosio]

Thank you for the feedback @jph00!
There was one other PR I was hoping to get in for the next release but I am not entirely confident that the CI test failures are not related to the changes introduced by the PR.
I will work on a release for this! (cc @maartenbreddels @JasonWeill)

Let me know if we can help at all with testing of the other PR and/or looking into CI failures.

[RRosio]

Let me know if we can help at all with testing of the other PR and/or looking into CI failures.

Thank you! I am taking a look at the test_save_as_notebook.py in #277 and I am seeing more frequent failures in test_display_isolation.pytoo!

[RRosio]

The release is available now https://github.com/jupyter/nbclassic/releases/tag/v1.1.0! Please let me know if there is anything I missed or any issues!

I will continue looking at the CI as well!
