ggplotly is not working properly with scale_fill_binned

[thgsponer]

I had exactly the same issue as described in #5892. After updating the plotly package to version 4.10.4 most of my plots worked well.

However, in the follwing situation ggplotly does not work properly.

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)

xy_grid <- expand.grid(ps=seq(-1,3, length=100),
                       trs=seq(-1,3,length=100))
xy_grid$ptl <-  xy_grid$ps^2 + xy_grid$trs^2

theme_set(theme_bw())
g1 <- ggplot(xy_grid) +
  geom_raster(aes(y=ps,x=trs,fill=ptl), interpolate = TRUE) +
  geom_contour(aes(y=ps,x=trs,z=ptl), breaks = c(2,4,6,8,10), color='black')

# this works
ggplotly(g1)

# adding scale_fill_binned
g2 <- g1 + scale_fill_binned(low = 'red', high = 'green', breaks = c(2,4,6,8,10))

# this does not work
ggplotly(g2)

For the second plot (g2), when using ggplotly I get the following error:

Error in `[.data.frame`(decor, c("value", "colour")) : 
  undefined columns selected

I am also having this issue (with scale_fill_steps2). I tried installing the latest development version with remotes::install_github("plotly/plotly"), and the error persists.

Hi @mbarkdull, sorry to hear that. A new issue with a reproducible example would help us keep track of it (and thus more likely to fix it)
