Description

I'm trying to create an interactive Plotly visualization in a Jupyter Notebook. However, when I run the code below, the last cell keeps running indefinitely without producing any output or errors.

Code Snippet

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
%matplotlib inline
%matplotlib widget

import plotly.offline as pyo
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
import plotly.graph_objects as go

# Initialize Plotly
pyo.init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

# Sample Plotly Scatter Plot
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[4, 5, 6]))
pyo.iplot(fig)

Thank you for filing this issue, you seem to be using an old version of VS Code.
Please can you install the latest version of VS Code, Jupyter extension and the Notebook Renderers extensions.
I'm certain that should fix this issue.
