Description:

MathJax rendering for LaTeX does not work offline because instead of using the local MathJax installation (installed as a dependency of jupyterlab), the rendering is done remotely by a fallback to cloudflare. I have reported this issue upstream at jupyterlab (https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/9911) but it only occurs using this package, not when installing upstream jupyterlab via pip.

Additional info:
* package version(s) jupyterlab-3.0.12-1-any python-jupyter_packaging-0.7.12-1 (ref.  FS#70142 )
* https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/9911

Steps to reproduce:

Install package
$ sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm
$ sudo pacman -S --noconfirm jupyterlab

Run jupyterlab
$ jupyter lab

In a Python notebook, request latex output by evaluating the following cell, while being offline (or blocking the cloudflare request):
%%latex
$x=1$

Works fine here. Please post the console output of the jupyterlab server.

Be sure to try offline or block cloudflare manually, and also make sure to clear your browser cache before, so that it does not have the cloudflare response cached.

Here's the output and attached a screenshot showing the couldflare requests.

Thanks, got it. Looks like I had a cached version.

I'm seeing the exact same behavior with a pip-installed jupyterlab
Comment by Antonio Rojas (arojas) - Thursday, 25 March 2021, 13:12 GMT
I've pushed jupyter-server-mathjax to the repos and added it as an optdepend for jupyter-server, as it seems to be required despite what upstream says.
