No display for DT::datatable in Google Colab. No error either.

[rohitfarmer]

Hi, I am working with an R runtime on Google Colab, and I am trying to display DT::datatable the way it works in a jupyter notebook. However, even though my code executes without an error, there is no display of the table. It is pushing the next cell to make space for the table, but still no display.

The code below works in a jupyter notebook but not on Google Colab.

library(DT)
DT::datatable(iris, options = list(pageLength = 5))

xfun::session_info('DT')

Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks!
