VSCode and Jupyter notebook - changes in python script code dont update

Question

When I write a code in the editor in VScode and then I try to import this code into jupyter notebook, the alterations I made in the code are do not update - the code that runs in jupyter notebook is the code that is open when I initialize VScode.

To update the code I need to restart VScode, open jupyter notebook, and import the code with the alterations made before restarting VScode. I set the path to the folder, and I using the same virtual environment. Is there anyway to fix this?

Answer 1

Try the autoreload magic method. Above the import statement put this.

%load_ext autoreload
%autoreload 2

Note that %autoreload 2 means that all modules will be reimported, if you want to specify which ones to reload then use %autoreload 1 and import using %aimport instead of import

Answer 2
