[HenriLaurie]

The following code fails in JuliaBox (even after updating, see screenshot)

using Plots

pyplot()

plotlyjs()
x = collect(1:5)
scatter(x,x)

What happens when you try updating PlotlyJS to version 0.3.3 before trying to plot?

[HenriLaurie]

I still get errors (cut and pasted below).
BTW, although the 4.0 button
on Account page listed PlotlyJS as v 0.3.2, according Pkg.status() the
installed version
of PlotlyJS is 0.3.3. If so, then presumably the test configuration
has not changed.

PlotlyJS.jl version 0.3.2 will not load in the notebook. So, if you have 0.3.1 or 0.3.3 you should be good to go.

It looks like the current issue is that the Colors.jl package isn't installed?

[HenriLaurie]

Hm. Will retry by loading Plots first, that should load Colors. As I say, although the info says 0.3.2, Pkg.status() suggests that is incorrect.

[HenriLaurie]

works now ... thanks!

[sglyon]

Awesome, thanks for reporting back!

[HenriLaurie]

Sure, thanks for all the work!
... now i notice the figure is gone when the notebook is re-opened. It can be replotted, of course, but I am used to having the figure saved inline as JSON object, so it is puzzling that it disappears. Is this the design behaviour?

[sglyon]

It sounds like the plotly.js javascript library isn't getting reloaded when you reopen the notebook.

That doesn't happen for me locally. I'm not sure why it would be happening within Juliabox

[HenriLaurie]

From my point of view, it is not serious enough to open an issue. Thanks again!

Reopening it here until we figure out a reliable fix for JuliaBox.
