Shut down jupyter server from VSCode

[PSAB]

I'm running a jupyter notebook for ML locally on my machine (mac w/ intel) in a conda environment. There doesn't seem to be a nice way to shut down the Jupyter Server from VSCode, unlike running Jupyter notebooks in the browser where you can shut down a server whenever desired.

So even when I restart the kernel and quit VSCode, there's a Python process that gets stuck on my machine, and I have to manually kill it from terminal or activity monitor. This seems too trivial, is there a way to shut down a jupyter server from VSCode that I'm missing?

So even when I restart the kernel and quit VSCode, there's a Python process that gets stuck on my machine,

Closing the notebook or VS Code should shutdown the kernel.
Please can you do the following:

• Open settings & go into Jupyter->Logging
• Change the value to verbose
• Reload VS Code,
• Close all notebooks
• Open the Jupyter output panel using the command Jupyter: Show Output and clear the output
• Run one cell against the kernel you ran into issues, ensure the code you run is very simple such as print("Hello World")
• Next, restart the kernel as you described
• Close the notebook
• See if the process is still running, if its still running, then please copy all of the logs and past it into a github issue.

Hi @DonJayamanne It seems to work fine when I follow your steps. According to the Jupyter output panel, the kernel is disposed when I close the notebook. I wish there was a way to shutdown a kernel without having to close the notebook.

You can try Jupyter Powertools extension,
