Standalone Window of PlotlyJS stays blank #377

CaptainKubi · 2021-05-19T14:26:23Z

Hi there,
when trying to create a plot in a stand-alone GUI window using PlotlyJS only an empty window appears.
A simple call like

using PlotlyJS
plot(rand(10))

only generates an empty window. The plotly loading animation can be seen shortly then it disappears. No error message is displayed. Similarly, plotting using the Plots.jl package using

using Plots
plotlyjs()
plot(rand(10))

has the same effect.

Plots are correctly displayed in VS Codes Plots tab and Pluto.

I am using julia version is 1.6.1 and PlotlyJS version 0.14.1. The issue for me is present both on a windows 10 and OSX 11.1 machine.

I hope someone has an idea what the problem here is. 😄

fp4code · 2021-05-20T10:13:00Z

Indeed, version 0.14.1 seem buggy: same problem with Ubuntu-21.04 and julia-1.5 ... -1.7. There is no <svg>...</svg> in the html page.

By contrast the plot is OK after installing older version: Pkg.add(name="PlotlyJS", version="0.13.1")

CaptainKubi · 2021-05-20T10:33:44Z

Yes, version 0.13.1 works properly with OSX 11.1 as well.

fp4code · 2021-05-20T10:49:14Z

I made a git bisect. The "faulty" commit is this one 8210092

fp4code · 2021-05-20T11:18:08Z

Also, Pkg.test("PlotlyJS") is crashing at test/blink.jl (julia-1.5, -1.6, -1.7)

jkrimmer · 2021-05-21T08:27:46Z

There is already a fix on the way #372. You can also try to install PlotlyJS from the master of my fork for now if you would like to have the most recent build. 🙂

ghuba · 2021-06-15T19:09:27Z

I seem to have a similar problem. The plots are no longer showing up. What is the advice to fix this problem?

I tried to run

add https://github.com/jonas-kr/PlotlyJS.jl.git

but it gives me some errors with plotly-artifacts:

I also tried:

Pkg.add(name="PlotlyJS", version="0.13.1")

But I get:

julia> using PlotlyJS
ERROR: InitError: SystemError: opening file "/Users/XXX/.julia/packages/PlotlyJS/AhkM5/deps/build.log": No such file or directory

What's the workaround then?

jkrimmer · 2021-06-15T20:09:19Z

Please try to install PlotlyJS from the following branch:

 add https://github.com/jonas-kr/PlotlyJS.jl#generate-artifacts

My master does not seem to work anymore since I implemented a few additional improvements for #372 .

PetrKryslUCSD · 2021-06-15T22:29:37Z

I used the branch reference above, but I'm still getting blank windows. (Windows 10.)

PetrKryslUCSD · 2021-06-15T23:54:38Z

I get a blank window.

PetrKryslUCSD · 2021-06-16T00:10:13Z

Plotting works with VS Code plot pane.

jkrimmer · 2021-06-16T07:49:25Z

I used the branch reference above, but I'm still getting blank windows. (Windows 10.)

This behavior is pretty weird. I have tested the branch "generate-artifacts" on two systems with Windows 10 and julia 1.6.1 and it worked just fine. Is the version number of PlotlyJS bumped to 0.15 after the installation from the "generate-artifacts" branch?

PetrKryslUCSD · 2021-06-16T14:56:33Z

Actually, there was something weird: I thrashed the complete .julia folder. The behavior changed, but now I am getting this error:

@jonas-kr
I tested this branch and this is working for me. The plots are showing up normally. No problem so far.

Thanks!

Yep; I installed the latest PlotlyJS and the issue is resolved for me! thanks. 👍
