"Error: Module jupyter-innotater, semver range ~0.2.2 is not registered as a widget module"

I'm getting the above error when trying to do the example in the README.md. I'm using a jupyter notebook in a binder with the versions for ipywidgets, notebook, widgetsnbextension, jupyter_innotater and pillow from the requirements.txt (other package versions may differ because of additional package requirements, but those probably shouldn't cause the error...?)

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks for the comment. I've just tried the binder examples on MyBinder.org.

It works on the old fashioned Jupyter Tree notebook, but I see a similar problem on JupyterLab. They have version 3.

I think it's basically the JupyterLab version that's likely to be causing problems here. (i.e. it used to work on JupyterLab 2...)

I haven't had a chance to see if it can be easily updated to work on JupyterLab 3.

Do you know what version of JupyterLab you are using?

It's not jupyterlab in my case, it's whatever-vscode-is-doing-for-running-notebooks :-/ at least my jupyter says that no version of jupyterlab is installed...
