write_html problem bug

[mikepap1]

Hello I am using the Sigma.write_html function and every time I run it the output file contains inside the json object the current nodes and the nodes from the last execution, if you open the html in a browser you get only the last execution nodes but inside the html file it has all the nodes from the last time. And every new file gets bigger because of that

Looks like an ipywidgets issue unfortunately. Can you try clearing your widget cache before writing the html and report whether this produces a less hefty result?

Or maybe this has some programmatic solution: jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets#2408

Thank you , I tried the ipywidgets.Widget.close_all() solution and it works now

Good to know this fixes the problem @mikepap1. I think I will add a note about this in the docs and maybe a kwarg to write_html because I don't feel doing this magically for the user would be very advisable. This said I find the state of ipywidgets a little bit sad :'(
