plotly 3.0 causes warnings

[gideonshalev]

When using the plotly 3.0, the below warnings show up after importing cufflinks.
Would be good to update the code by avoiding the deprecated methods.

/Users/gshalev/.pyenv/versions/3.6.2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plotly/graph_objs/_deprecations.py:558: DeprecationWarning:

plotly.graph_objs.YAxis is deprecated.
Please replace it with one of the following more specific types
  - plotly.graph_objs.layout.YAxis
  - plotly.graph_objs.layout.scene.YAxis


/Users/gshalev/.pyenv/versions/3.6.2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plotly/graph_objs/_deprecations.py:531: DeprecationWarning:

plotly.graph_objs.XAxis is deprecated.
Please replace it with one of the following more specific types
  - plotly.graph_objs.layout.XAxis
  - plotly.graph_objs.layout.scene.XAxis

[GIREG-J]

Hello,

A quick search into the cufflinks repo yield only two files:

• cufflinks/themes.py
• cufflinks/tools.py

I'm working on a quick PR.

[ah-]

Haven't looked into detail, but there might be more fixes required, getting this after a df.iplot():

ValueError: 
    Invalid value of type 'builtins.str' received for the 'bgcolor' property of layout.legend
        Received value: 'pearl02'

[taxus13]

Just to give more feedback:
When I run
df.iplot(kind='area',fill=True)
I get also an ValueError:
ValueError: Invalid value of type 'builtins.str' received for the 'color' property of layout.legend.font Received value: 'grey10'

[saeedamen]

I've had similar issues too with plotly 3.0.0 and cufflinks (when I do import cufflinks it throws an error related to XAxis)

[GIREG-J]

@ah- you might be right

After replacing by the go.layout.XAxis and go.layout.YAxis and testing the errors are due to color naming.
Instead of passing the corresponding hex string from the cnames dict from cufflinks/cufflinks/colors.py, cufflinks passes the color name directly to plotly.graph_objs.layout.YAxis, resulting in ValueError

Usually cufflinks.tools will convert to RGBA/hex string using the to_rgba function, but since it imports THEMES first, it passes the YAxis/XAxis with invalid colors.

A clunky fix would to convert all the colors in THEMES to its hex string equivalent, but I still don't really know why there is suddenly this problem with colors... 🤔

[ah-]

I think it's a new feature, read about it in https://medium.com/@plotlygraphs/introducing-plotly-py-3-0-0-7bb1333f69c6, see "Deep Validation and Helpful Error Messages".

[kammoh]

Same ValueError, cufflinks (<=git:master) not usable with plotly 3.0+
Maybe we should open a new issue as this is different from the OP Warning?

[anotherbugmaster]

Hello everyone, I think that this change causes cufflinks not work with plotly 3.0.0:

https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/master/migration-guide.md#object-array-classes-deprecated

[DiegoAgher]

my quick fix was to downgrade to plotly 2.0.0 for the time being

pip uninstall plotly
pip install plotly==2.0.0

[GIREG-J]

@DiegoAgher , Plotly==2.7.0 is working just fine since Plotly uses the Semantic Versioning 🙂 (and I tested it)

[timkpaine]

Looking a little closer, this is going to be a fairly painful migration.

[timkpaine]

getting started on #122

[santosjorge]

Yikes. This looks like a painful one. Thank you @timkpaine. Let’s get on it.

[mlsmall]

Uninstall version 3.0 and install version 2.7.0. Worked for me.
in anaconda prompt:> pip install plotly==2.7.0

[jonmmease]

Hi all, I just came across this thread. Let me know if you have any questions about migration.

Also, one option that may (or may not) be easier for you would be to replace all of the former graph objects (go.Scatter, etc.) with raw dictionaries\lists and then only build a go.Figure object at the very end of the construction process. This would delay validation until the end of the process (after you've replaced the colors etc.) and would be backwards compatible with version 2.7.

[tdikonda]

This warning seems to have been resolved in Plotly 3.1.0. Try upgrading to this version and verify.

[DavidJBianco]

Unfortunately, cufflinks 0.13.0 with Plotly 3.1.1 throws the same error:

/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plotly/graph_objs/_deprecations.py:558: DeprecationWarning:

plotly.graph_objs.YAxis is deprecated.
Please replace it with one of the following more specific types

/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plotly/graph_objs/_deprecations.py:531: DeprecationWarning:

plotly.graph_objs.XAxis is deprecated.
Please replace it with one of the following more specific types

• plotly.graph_objs.layout.XAxis
• plotly.graph_objs.layout.scene.XAxis

and then the following code errors out on the bgcolor:

df.iplot(kind='scatter', bgcolor='dimgray')

ValueError:
Invalid value of type 'builtins.str' received for the 'bgcolor' property of layout.legend
Received value: 'pearl02'

The 'bgcolor' property is a color and may be specified as:

  - An rgb/rgba string (e.g. 'rgb(255,0,0)')

I'm having the same issue, although I also get the following error following the warnings when I import cufflinks:

[santosjorge]

I've created a plotly3 branch to start testing all the fixes (lot of changes).

[santosjorge]

Done.
**Thank you @timkpaine ** for the help.

[leirhyh72]

Hi All, did this issues solved? I updated the latest plotly and got the same error again. What should I do?
Thanks,

Tim

[timkpaine]

I am also on latest plotly and it works fine. Can you send a repro and info about your environment (python and plotly/cufflinks versions)

I can repro against pypi disted cufflinks, but not my source repo (which matches this repo). Can you try to pip install this git repo directly and see if it still happens?

Can you give me some suggestions? Thanks

[coulanuk]

Thanks @timkpaine : installing cufflinks 0.14 from git did the trick, it works fine for me.
Andy

[leirhyh72]

Do I need to uninstall the 0.13 and try to install from source? Thanks

[timkpaine]

read above

[leirhyh72]

I did use "pip install git+git://github.com/santosjorge/cufflinks.git#egg=cufflinks"
but the version is still 0.13. Don't know why. I may uninstall all cufflinks if possible and reinstall it again. What do you think? Thanks, Tim

[timkpaine]

did it actually install? if you have an install you probably need -U

[leirhyh72]

Hi Tim, after I add -U, 0.14 was successfully installed. However, the same error appeared. Don't know why. Any input? Thanks, Tim

[kenibrewer]

@leirhyh72 Are you using cufflinks within an iPython session or a Jupyter Notebook? You may need to restart your kernel to get it to work. I continued having the same error as you after install until I restarted my Jupyter notebook kernel.

[AlaaElagha]

Upgrading to 0.14.0 with
pip install git+git://github.com/santosjorge/cufflinks.git#egg=cufflinks -U
works. I am running Jupyter notebook on OSX.

I have struggled with this for the last couple of week. Thank you so much guys

[DavidJBianco]

I can confirm that this is now working properly for me with Plotly 3.2.1 and cufflinks 0.14.4. Thanks for all the hard work @santosjorge! Not to bug you too much about it, but do you have plans to push this to PyPi soon?

[taxus13]

@DavidJBianco when did you check for cufflinks 0.14.4?
It is listed at PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/cufflinks/

[DavidJBianco]

Sorry, you're correct. I had it installed from conda-forge, which isn't up-to-date. Switching to the PyPi version was pretty simple.

[cpoptic]

Can confirm this error still is thrown under Plotly version 3.9.0 and cufflinks version 0.15.

How do we resolve this? (aside from downgrading from Plotly 3.9.0)

[Idodox]

@cpoptic are you certain you're running 0.15? I was running 0.13 when I hit it and upgrading certainly solved it for me..

[Jvdahemad]

Same error with plotly 3.9, but downgrading it to 3.7 does help.

[discdiver]

3.9 with 0.13 was problematic for me. Upgrading cufflinks to 0.15 fixed the issue. FYI, the latest version on Conda is 0.13.

At the moment there is no official Conda repo. I think someone created one but not sure if it is being kept up to date. Better to always use PyPi.
