Plotly doesn’t seem to be working in my Jupyter R kernel notebooks correctly. For example, the following exact code from a Plotly [example](https://plot.ly/r/) throws the error listed below:

`library(plotly) set.seed(100) d <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000),] plot_ly(d, x = carat, y = price, text = paste("Clarity: ", clarity), mode = "markers", color = carat, size = carat)`

```
"Error in plot_ly(d, x = carat, y = price, text = paste("Clarity: ", clarity), : object 'carat' not found
Traceback:

1. plot_ly(d, x = carat, y = price, text = paste("Clarity: ", clarity), 
 . mode = "markers", color = carat, size = carat)"

```

Unfortunately the error message “object not found” is not super informative. Any suggestions or ideas why Plotly isn’t working as predicted on well-known dataframes in Jupyter R notebooks?
