vertex AI Workbench is hanging with error "Opening notebook with JupyterLab" for more than a day

[joeeapen]

I am trying to follow instructions in https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/tutorials/jupyter-notebooks (vertex AI Jupyter Notebooks tutorials). Steps done

1. For the first notebook "Text Classification model" I have clicked on "Vertex AI Workbench". It takes me to GCP console & workbench.

2. I am supposed to click on the "Create" button, which I did.

3. THen the message "Opening notebook with JupyterLab" will come. But it is there for past 1 day, and still it hasn't finished creating. So I canceled the same. I tried once more the same thing happens. Not sure why?

I have screen shots, but can't see anywhere to attach.

Have anyone tried this tutorial, especially in workbench? 

Thanks,

Hello, 

Anybody active on these forums?

Ideally some GCP reps should be there. Especially with newer offering like vertexAI - fundamental issues should be easy to solve!!

Today I have retried the same. It worked at least creation of notebook.

But when executing step

Install additional packages

Install the following packages for executing this notebook.

I am getting error:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
google-cloud-recommendations-ai 0.2.0 requires google-api-core[grpc]<2.0.0dev,>=1.22.2, but you have google-api-core 2.8.1 which is incompatible.
apache-beam 2.40.0 requires dill<0.3.2,>=0.3.1.1, but you have dill 0.3.5.1 which is incompatible.
apache-beam 2.40.0 requires pyarrow<8.0.0,>=0.15.1, but you have pyarrow 9.0.0 which is incompatible.

Any help?

After searching for a solution for your case, it seems to be more an issue of the package version.

I found a GitHub repository dealing with a similar problem to yours; there, you will likely find solutions to resolve it.
