Error when clicking on nodes in vscode

[PhilReinhold]

When running the example notebook when using vscode

However, I do actually see the widget rendering at this point (so the above may be a red herring). However, clicking on any of the nodes produces this error message:

The widgets work fine in Jupyter lab with Firefox.

Poking around a bit I see that the widget defines an _id attribute which defaults to "#". I wonder if maybe vscode is misinterpreting this attribute or reserves that attribute for internal use, and if the problem might be fixed by renaming _id. I tried testing this, but I couldn't actually get vs code to load locally defined ipytree widgets.

ipytree = 0.2.1
ipywidgets = 7.7.0

I'm seeing the same issue. Clicking on a node in the tree results in a modal dialog from vscode:

If I go ahead and create the file (named "#"), clicking a node will open the file in the vscode editor pane.
