Preview Manim Cell crashes after displaying one frame, on windows

[mnemon01]

⭕ Description

Preview Manim Cell link boots up manim, but only displays a single frame at that scene location before crashing with the error AttributeError: 'InteractiveShellEmbed' object has no attribute 'magic'. Windows 10 machine with latest manim (1.7.2), in a fresh python 3.12 venv, where I installed only setup-tools and manimgl via pip. Full (sanitized) stack trace below:
manimnotebook_stacktrace.txt

I'm hoping this is a simple mistake with my setup. Manim runs fine from the command line, it is only the extension's features that do not work. Looks like it's related to an IPython "autoreload all" command?

Log file is basically empty, but for your reference:

I am also having this problem in Fedora 42

Ok, apparently this was tested with the git version of Manim. I don't think it is a good idea to do so without also testing with the pip version. Basically if you want this to work, just do:

git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git
cd manim

and,

pip install -e .

I have the same error on Windows 11 24h2, python 3.13.5 venv, manimgl 1.7.2.

Now I have requested a pr #138 .
