Hi. I’m trying out plotly for the first time. I have a ggplot object I’m trying to transform into a plotly one, but I’m getting an error. I searched the web and couldn’t find anyone else with this issue. Any ideas? I can provide more info if needed

```

I am having the same issue, but can’t find any solutions so far. Will post again here if I find anything.

I was using the development version of plotly, and was having this error.  
I just downgraded to the CRAN version (4.5.6) using install.package(“plotly”) , and this error went away for me.

I realize this thread is a little old, but I’m having this issue now too but only in Rstudio server pro in a linux environment. It seems to work just fine when I’m running the same code in Rstudio desktop on a windows machine. In both cases I’m using plotly version 4.7.0. Is there a known issue that I should be aware of in this case?

Anyone find a resolution to this? I am experiencing this and can’t seem to figure it out.
