VS code not showing plotly figures in notebook after closing and reopening it

šŸ“Š Plotly Python
1

So Iā€™d like to know how to enable VS Code to open plotly figures on a jupyter notebook when opening one.

When loading a notebook that already contains figures in it with jupyter, the images display normally, but in VS Code there are blank spaces instead. I need to re-run all notebook cells for the figures to be displayed again.

Iā€™m running the notebook with the command pio.renderers.default = 'notebook' and displaying the figures with fig.show().

How to fix this ?

Hi,

Welcome to the community! :slight_smile:

I havenā€™t seen this issue before, so I ran a quick check and I cannot reproduce this error when using ā€œplotly_mimetypeā€ or ā€œplotly_mimetype+notebookā€. The second one seems to be the default set by the jupyter extension.

Could you try to change the renderer from ā€œnotebookā€ to one of these two and see if it works?

Hello, thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the problem persists.

I get this error on both my machines, both running on Ubuntu 20.04.

For the note, I was using ā€˜notebookā€™ as a renderer because it is important to me that the images can be rendered while offline.

Ok, my test was on Mac, and this could be OS-related.

I would recommend you to raise an issue on vscode-jupyter GH repo if you havenā€™t done it yet.

Will do, thank you.
