I am encountering an error with WGLMakie.jl in Pluto.jl. WGLMakie was working for quite some time until I updated my packages. Now it freezes and outputs the error message below in the terminal. I tried reverting back to the previous package versions, but I could not perfectly replicate it because I am not using Pluto’s native environment support (due to technical requirements for the project). I’m not sure whether a dependency of a dependency is causing the error. Any help would be appreciated

I downgraded Bonito.jl to Bonito v4.0.3 and it works now. Does anyone know whether Bonito is the best place to file an issue?

I opened an issue at [Bonito.jl](https://github.com/SimonDanisch/Bonito.jl/issues/318). If its the wrong place, it will get transferred.

As I mentioned in a [julip chat](https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/243342-pluto.2Ejl/topic/wglmakie.20interactivity.20broken.20.3F/with/519472925) I get the same error with Pluto v0.20.8, WGLMakie v0.11.6, and julia 1.11.5 both at firefox and in chromium

Hi, I am new in the communitie and I tried to use Pluto with WGLMakie for an interactive streamplot, beacuse the PlutoUI widgets were not fast enough so I used the WGLMakie, anyway the code with the WGLMakie sliders work only when I do one thing, that is creating a CairoMakie figure and after all cells finish, then, I can introduce WGLMakie and interactivitie works, if I run all cells at once it will make a static graphic .
I am using the version 1.12.5 of Julia and the most recent versions of Makie and Pluto

Hi Juan. Welcome to the community! The problem you described seems a bit different. You might get more traction by opening a new thread and including a minimum working example that illustrates the problem you encountered.

Maybe thats good use case for [https://bonitobook.org](https://bonitobook.org) ?

I just tried and worked! there are a bunch of things keeping me away from using it extensively, Where do I leave my suggestions?
