Solara doesn't render in Databricks notebook

Discussed in #128

Hi Maarten,

Thank you for your work!

In my use case I envisioned Solara as a extra nice UI option in shared Databricks Notebooks running on clusters. A way to give less technical users an interface without deploying separate apps, by using the Notebook environment for both authentication and compute.

However it seems that it cannot render:

Is there anything in the limitations section of this page that applies to Solara? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/notebooks/ipywidgets

Unfortunately I cannot provide a reproducible example :(

To summarize #128, the workaround for now is to do Page.widget()

Thank you for all the help. I will keep the thread in this issue.

With Page.widget() it loads, but sidebars and headers are not displayed, only the main area content. I tried several examples with the same result. This one is from https://github.com/widgetti/solara/blob/master/solara/website/pages/apps/layout-demo.py

Ah yes, you are losing some jupyter/solara magic because of this workaround. Try this:

@solara.component
def Workaround():
    with solara.components.applayout._AppLayoutEmbed():
        Page()
Workaround.widget()

Workaround works!!
