Unable to create JupyterLab snapshot
I'm trying to create a snapshot of my DXJupyterLab but it does not work.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a DXJupyterLab job in my project
2. Open the JupyterLab and create a new R notebook
3. Run `pak::pak("tidyverse")` in the first cell
4. Click on “DNAnexus” > “Create snapshot”
5. The text “Creating a snapshot in /.Notebook_snapshots. It can take a couple of minutes..” is printed at the bottom of the page
6. Wait any amount of time but nothing happens
The directory .Notebook_snapshots is not created.
The problem is not related to the use of an R notebook. The same happens, when I use any other kind of notebook (or if I try to create a snapshot without opening a notebook at all).
Any help to resolve this issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Update: the snapshot seems to be created when I manually create the directory .Notebook_snapshots first. I keep experimenting.
It looks like manually creating this folder was indeed the solution. I think it would be better if this were not necessary or at least clearly documented or indicated by an error message (rather than silently failing).
Another update: while I'm able to create snapshots now, my collaborator is still unable to do so. If she performs the steps described above, she still gets the same result: no snapshot is created but also no error message is given. So we still need help in resolving this issue. Did anyone else experience something similar?
I could not “Create Snapshot” from the DNAnexus pull down of Jupyterlab. There is simply no response at all after selecting it.
Anyone successfully created a snapshot from Jupyterlab?
Never mind. The snapshot created from “Create Snapshot” finally appeared in the project's /.Notebook_snapshots folder.
