Sometimes graphs don't show when using Jupyter notebook

Environment Details

Please indicate the following details about the environment in which you found the bug:

• SDMetrics version: 0.9.2
• Python version: 3.9
• Operating System: MacOs

Error Description

When running get_visualization in jupyter notebook, the graph doesn't show up. Sometimes restarting the kernel, clearing the output and rerunning helps.

Steps to reproduce

quality_report = QualityReport()
quality_report.generate(
    input_data,
    output_data,
    metadata
)
quality_report.get_visualization('Column Shapes', table_name='agents')

Hi, have you solved the problem? I have the same bug on windows, can you give me some suggestions?

Hi @amontanez24 and @awsxcrd I was able to replicate this problem.

Workaround: The plots are showing pretty consistently if I add the following lines to the top of my notebook:

from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode

init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

Let me know if that resolves the issue for you. If so, we can think about making this more seamless inside of SDMetrics itself.

More context: We use Plotly as our graphing library for SDMetrics. Some searches on the Plotly community forum led me to this conversation.

Writing

import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default='iframe'

before running any visualization commands seemed to work for me
