Open RetroLab, for example with this gist: https://gist.github.com/jtpio/4a6a34da66b32249e28df718ec30e4d7 2. Click on "New Console" 3. Open the dev tools console 4. See the error message ## Expected behavior There should not be any error message when opening a new console. The message is not reallt harmful since the console widget is opened in a different browser tab. But it would still be nice to fix. ## Context Follow-up to jupyter/retrolab#197 This is most likely coming from this line: https://github.com/jupyterlab/retrolab/blob/f5507c408dc7613d3c04c3df0c56c660790a846b/packages/console-extension/src/index.ts#L69
