PlotlyJS fails on WSL2 - Ubuntu

C1Ron · July 23, 2023, 11:34pm

Running PlotlyJS on WSL2 gives this error:

juila> plotlyjs()
julia> plot(x,y)
Error showing value of type Plots.Plot{Plots.PlotlyJSBackend}:
ERROR: IOError: connect: connection refused (ECONNREFUSED)

I’ve tried installing libnss3 and libxss1 as mentioned by @PetrKryslUCSD in
PlotlyJS: Blink connection trouble on WSL2 - General Usage - Julia Programming Language (julialang.org)

From the link below I installed

libgtk-3-0
libxss1
libgconf-2-4
libnss3
libasound2
libx11-xcb1

I can't go around a problem of using PlotlyJS from my terminal (works fine in At…om). The issue is reported before https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyJS.jl/issues/33, and similarly https://github.com/JunoLab/Blink.jl/issues/82 . The thing is that even locally, I am not able to open a window with `Blink.Window()` ``` julia> Blink.Window() ERROR: connect: connection refused (ECONNREFUSED) Stacktrace: [1] try_yieldto(::Base.##298#299{Task}, ::Task) at ./event.jl:189 [2] wait() at ./event.jl:234 [3] wait(::Condition) at ./event.jl:27 [4] stream_wait(::TCPSocket, ::Condition, ::Vararg{Condition,N} where N) at ./stream.jl:42 [5] wait_connected(::TCPSocket) at ./stream.jl:258 [6] connect at ./stream.jl:983 [inlined] [7] connect(::IPv4, ::Int64) at ./socket.jl:742 [8] #try_connect#4(::Float64, ::Int64, ::Function, ::IPv4, ::Vararg{Any,N} where N) at /home/nic/.julia/v0.6/Blink/src/AtomShell/process.jl:62 [9] #init#5(::Bool, ::Function) at /home/nic/.julia/v0.6/Blink/src/AtomShell/process.jl:76 [10] (::Blink.AtomShell.#kw##init)(::Array{Any,1}, ::Blink.AtomShell.#init) at ./<missing>:0 [11] #shell#8(::Bool, ::Function) at /home/nic/.julia/v0.6/Blink/src/AtomShell/process.jl:114 [12] Blink.AtomShell.Window() at /home/nic/.julia/v0.6/Blink/src/AtomShell/window.jl:37 ``` The machine is under Ubuntu 18.04, tried both with Julia 0.6.2 and 0.6.3. Using `xvfb-run julia` and `Blink.Atom.install()` brought no success. Also increasing the input parameter values in `function try_connect(args...; interval = 0.5, attempts = 300)` didn't help. Any idea for a workaround is welcome.
