Juno produces plotly graphs only in browser, not in plots pane

Tooling Juno
,
1

The next code forces julia to open a browser, and even though it doesn’t display anything there.

using Plots
plotly()

A = rand(5,5)
fig = heatmap(A)
display(fig)

When i switch to pyplot() or gr() it works properly and displays heatmap in a pane inside Juno.

Am I doing anything wrong?

No, it’s just that barebones plotly always shows in the browser. Use plotlyjs instead if you want the plot pane.

Yeah, looks like this is the reason.

Nevertheless, when i switch to plotlyjs() i get another error.
I should better post a new question about concrete error and post a link to solution here later.

On Win64, Julia-1.1.0 and all packages up-to-date, I see the following:

  • Using PlotlyJS directly, an Electron window pops up
  • Using PlotlyJS as a Plots backend, a static version of the plot appears in the plot pane, not the interactive clickable version.

I did some reading on this and came across an issue blaming this on a bug in WebIO. Has there been any progress in this area?
