Orca error when exporting big plots

[mabreidi]

Hello,

I'm having trouble exporting fairly large plotly plots via orca(). Small plots, however, work just fine.

For example...

testdata <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(20000,30,5),10000,2))
p <- testdata %>% plot_ly(x=~V1,y=~V2,type="scatter",mode="markers")
orca(p,"test.png")

Returns this error:

Error in process_initialize(self, private, command, args, stdin, stdout, :
processx error, create process: #206 File name or extension too long
at 'win/processx.c:1039'

This however runs just fine:

smalltestdata <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(1000,30,5),500,2))
psmall <- smalltestdata %>% plot_ly(x=~V1,y=~V2,type="scatter",mode="markers")
orca(psmall,"smalltest.png")

Does anyone know if and how this can be fixed? Or if there's another option to export my plotly plots (as svg and png)?

Thanks in advance!

Your 1st example runs ok for me. Please make sure you have the latest development version: devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly")

Thanks, it's working now!

For anyone having the same problem:
I was pretty sure I had ithe latest version installed, but re-installed it. During installation I got an error saying that an older version of the httpuv package couldn't be removed. I then deleted the httpuv folder, reinstalled the development plotly version. After the download library(plotly) gave me an error, saying some file was corrupt and plotly couldn't be loaded. When I closed RStudio and started it again, plotly loaded without any trouble and the orca() export worked just fine.
