[ctappy]

Description

When creating a new Latex file to edit in the / directory of jupyterlab the following message is shown and the file is not created

cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'model')

When I create a directory, then create a latex file to edit in that directory, I am able to create/edit successfully

Context

• jlab latex version: 3.1.0

Hi @ctaperts! Thanks for reporting this.

I noticed that the extension version you report is 3.1.0, which does not support JupyterLab 4. There's a newer version 4.0.0 which does, but it's not published anywhere yet. You can try it by cloning this repo and doing 'pip install .'

I will work on releasing this new version soon.

Hi @ktaletsk. Is there any update on when the JLab4 compatible version will be released?

@CharlieJ15420 i believe there is a new release with latex, you have to use the new install syntax jupyterlab-latex https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-latex
