Sunburst graph sometimes loading, sometimes not on Chrome

I am using the Sunburst graph which shows in the browser with a localhost web server.

When (up-to-date) Chrome is used as the default browser, sometimes the graph loads fine, sometimes it keeps “loading” and doesn’t load, sometimes it finishes “loading” but the page is blank.

It does work when I make Firefox the default browser.

But back in Chrome, the behavior seems random and does not depend on the data. If I try the same dataset repeatedly, it sometimes loads, sometimes doesn’t.

I’ve seen other threads here about similar problems but in those threads it seems the problem was the underlying data. This is not so for me since sometimes the data loads fine, but a lot of the times it doesn’t.

Opening Chrome’s developer tools does not show anything that looks like an error.

I would prefer to keep Chrome my default browser. What may be causing the problem?

Hey @rodrigobraz welcome to the forums.

Did you try with some dummy data? What is the size of your data? Is your data changing or does this behavior occur with the exact same data?

I’ve tried multiple datasets. It always works on Firefox regardless of the data. On Chrome, it works intermittently, even if for multiple runs on the same dataset.

So it does not seem like the underlying data is the issue. Thanks.

OK, could you provide some sample code/data which reproduces this on your system?

Sure, thank you. The code below runs successfully every time when the default browser is Firefox, but only about half the executions when the default browser is Chrome. I am on plotly 5.21.0, Python 3.11.9, Windows 10.

Hi! Did you ever get a chance to take a look at this? Thanks.

I can reproduce this, but I don’t see any errors being reported and the server seems to hang without my debugger being able to tell me where in the code it is.

I think it looks like a bug - there are a couple of issues already raised that might be the same thing

Sorry, I did not. I use Ubuntu.

@davidharris pointed to the right direction, I guess.

Thanks for the confirmation. I have submitted a GitHub issue.
