Isn't this the same as issue #287, ie the package simply is not loadable, eg some dependency is missing/not compiled/...

[sebasguts]

Without investigating further, I think you are not able to load GAP's Jupyter package stack.

Even if, you will not achieve the desired goal. The Renderables will not show as expected (image, html) when displayed to Jupyter. I suggest you use the native Julia visualization tools.

[olexandr-konovalov]

@sebasguts must be right. Loadable here in GAP 4.10.2 https://github.com/alex-konovalov/gap-teaching.

@fingolfin is right, I still had json in my EXTRA_GAPROOT. And @sebasguts is right, after removing json from the path I get the error:

julia> LoadPackageAndExposeGlobals( "JupyterViz", Main, all_globals = true )

julia> Plot( [ 1.2, 1.3, 5 ] )
Error, Invalid argument types given to Plot.

I will wait for a day and then close the issue. Thank you all for your help.
