Dll hardcoded dependencies on Newtonsoft.Json Google.DataTable.Net.Wrapper

[fradav]

On latest offical dotnet .core 2.2.402,
If we either try to Chart.Show a XPlot.Plotly it barfs with :

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.
File name: 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'
   at XPlot.Plotly.PlotlyChart.GetInlineHtml()
   at XPlot.Plotly.PlotlyChart.GetHtml()
   at XPlot.Plotly.PlotlyChart.Show()
   at <StartupCode$FSI_0005>.$FSI_0005.main@()

Or a XPlot.GoogleCharts :

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Google.DataTable.Net.Wrapper, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.
File name: 'Google.DataTable.Net.Wrapper, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
   at XPlot.GoogleCharts.GoogleChart.GetInlineJS()
   at XPlot.GoogleCharts.GoogleChart.GetHtml()
   at XPlot.GoogleCharts.GoogleChart.Show()
   at <StartupCode$FSI_0006>.$FSI_0006.main@()

I don't know what exactly could do this, I tried to rebuild myself with no change.

I've tried it on windows with dotnet cli 2.2.402 and it worked. What's your environment?

Sorry I forgot to say it's with dotnet fsi

[zyzhu]

I still use fsi under the old dotnet framework project setting that has locally installed Nuget packages. I need to reference each dlls using #r.

I do not know how to reference external Nuget packages in dotnet fsi yet. I hope it will work smoothly once this pull comes to official dotnet release
dotnet/fsharp#5850

[cartermp]

These are issues with dotnet fsi and transitive .dll references. It's completely gone with #r "nuget:..." implemented, which you can use in the Jupyter notebooks environment here: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/dotnet/try/master?urlpath=lab

Link to Binder added to README here: https://github.com/fslaborg/XPlot#try-it-out

You can expect F# 5.0/.NET 5.0 to have a local dotnet fsi experience without issue here
