Solaras visual not working

[DocZubes]

Hello, I need quick help, want to show my class the MESA program tomorrow and I saw that there was a massive update on saturday, really great stuff only one problem. THe Solara or more especially the SolaraViz isn't working. I wanted to give and show my students some of the examples, the wolf_sheep and boid_flockers since the plan was to later create a ContinuousSpace forest fire and agents to combat it, I saw that you now add solara to make it possible to use ContinuousSpace since previous I had to make my own. any ways, neither example works and then I decided to try any of the examples and most use the Solara run app.py and it seems like its not working. the terminal is stating ''Could not import SolaraViz. If you need it, install with 'pip install --pre mesa[viz]''' but I can confirm I have everything installed.

I would really like to use this for the classroom but if I can't have this fix then we got to go back to Netlogo only. I am hoping its something on my end or maybe its already been pulled since writing this message.

Could you show a list of installed packages or imports? solara should be in it.

If you're 100% sure everything is installed, could you give us a Minimal, Reproducible Example?

Edit: You're teaching a class? In that case, do you want to set up a video call to solve this?

Excellent!

and yes, via play_interval which is a keyword argument on SolaraViz

Glad to hear it’s now working!

Maybe we can add it as a slider, I also noticed it was slow. Together with seed, to maybe all models.

Did you get everything working you wanted? Any insights/feedback?

[DocZubes]

Yes!! I was able to show them all the examples so that the students can decide what type of forest fire simulation they would like proform in the following term. Thank you again for the quick help and fixes. I have no feedback, I know one group really wants to explore the visualization aspect with other packages/ create their own, so I might push them this way in the future if they have questions.

Great to hear! We're very open to both ideas and pull request on how we can improve it.

If any group develops a great example, a PR to mesa-examples is also very welcome.
