Kind of oddly specific, but how are people working around the current PlotlyJS outage?

- [Failure to Precompile: JSString not defined · Issue #198 · JuliaPlots/PlotlyJS.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyJS.jl/issues/198)

It seems like pinning to just an old version of `PlotlyJS` doesn’t help at all?

This works for me (Ubuntu 18.04, Julia 0.6.4, Atom 1.28.1):

1. Pin packages:

```julia
 - Atom 0.6.15 pinned.583dddce.tmp
 - PlotlyJS 0.10.2 pinned.4f0c99ae.tmp
 - Blink 0.6.2 pinned.97e9ab8e.tmp
 - CodeTools 0.5.1 pinned.3a898f3d.tmp
 - Juno 0.4.1 pinned.f14f6243.tmp

```

1. Delete cache .julia/.cache
2. Rebuild everything.
