QueryProvider widget not displaying

[CasperWA]

The widget for choosing the provider and database to query is not displayed.

The issue comes from the version of ipywidgets-extended. Downgrade it to 1.1.1 from 1.2.0 can solve the issue.
As mentioned #433, I think this package is required by the ExtenedGroup, I will bring this up to Nicola this increase our burden to maintain a widget that is only used by us and to me, it is not necessary for optimadeclient.

EDIT: Ah! that is your package where ExtendedGroup is implemented. Then it must be some subtle dependencies that break this.

So for now, we can pinning the version of ipywidget-extended. I open the PR #438.

Hi @CasperWA, the https://optimadeclient.matcloud.xyz/ still does not have provider widget working. But it is sure update with the latest one correct? Could you tell me how you push to the dev server, you do it manually from your computer?

[CasperWA]

The version was not properly avoided in the latest release. I have just released a new version and will update the MaterialsCloud tool accordingly.

Good thanks! @CasperWA

I have a meeting with Nicola, he now suggests that we can only keep MC3D, MC2D, and 'CURATED covalent organic' on the list. So can get rid of the ipywidget-extent. What do you think?

[CasperWA]

I don't want to get rid of the widget unless it's downright disruptive. The list and groupings can be changed in the other dedicated repository in the notebook where the individual widget parts are instantiated.

[unkcpz]

No problem, I think this is also useful in other places. I just need some time to learn how it is organized and can contribute to fixing things quickly.

[CasperWA]

Will have to pin it to v1.1.1 again, according to #457.
