Blank map on Google Colab, Jupyter on EC2 instance and Local (windows 10)

[rutgerhofste]

My first baby steps with mapboxgl were no success. I get a blank map using Google Colab, Jupyter on Amazon EC2 and even running locally:

Am I doing something wrong or is the example no longer supported? Maybe you can add a troubleshooting section.

UPDATE: Seems like the chloropleth example is broken. Other examples work just fine.

I found the issue. The access_token = token argument is missing in some examples. Also your old keys are still visible in your commit history. You might want to revoke access to key

Thanks for the report @rutgerhofste. Can you link to the specific examples you weren't able to get to work, or did the access_token change solve your issue?

[rutgerhofste]

Adding access_token solved the issue. It would be great if the examples would be all consistent. Either specify the access_token parameter everywhere or nowhere. Additionally raising an error e.g. "No valid access token" might make debugging easier. The package is extremely powerful and looking forward to see it evolve over time.

i have the same problem, it doesn't work with mapbox, but if tried with plotly map it works. Can anyone help?

[akacarlyann]

@adinesia can you provide your code snippet? I'm happy to take a look. Have you checked that you have a valid access_token set in your environment or in the inialization of your viz object?

[adinesia]

Sorry, just solved the problem, i'm adding access_token just like @rutgerhofste did. Thanks a lot

MapboxGL returns blank map in Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab, in Chrome and Opera, using python 2 and 3. The same result every time. That's not a problem with token — it works correctly in other services.
Any ideas?

[ryanbaumann]

What does your developer console show?

[lvkrlv]

Thanks for your answer.
Console looked like there are an issue with key:

I placed token directly inside ChoroplethViz parameters and it works:

Thanks for reminder about console existence :-)

[akacarlyann]

@lvkrlv Glad you sorted it out! Looks like the syntax you want for your first try would have been
token = os.getenv('MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN', your_private_access_token),
but including the token argument directly in your map initialization should always work :)
