Interactive plots no longer loading #20

Closed Alethio-uk closed 2 months ago

Hi,

It appears that interactive plots are no longer loading from html files. This includes any maps stored locally and the examples within the documentation on https://datamapplot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactive_intro.html The maps either fail to load all together, or get stuck on the spinning wheel. Static plots are unaffected.

I'm also not currently able to create any new interactive plots. I'm assuming something is failing within the external calls when the maps load?

They are loading here, so it is hard to debug what the issue is. I have heard some people having issues with google fonts, but that shouldn't really effect html files you've already created (it should just fallback on fonts).

Okay, I've managed to have something fail to load. It seems like something has changed in the javascript ecosystem and loaders for deck.gl are no longer working. I honestly have no idea how to fix that right now, but I certainly understand that it is a major issue. I'll see what I can figure out ...

It looks as if unpkg.com the CDN I'm using to get deck.gl may be experiencing issues -- even just accessing deck.gl there directly returns errors. It's possible this may resolve once they get that fixed ...

Update an hour later: It seems unpkg.com is mostly working again, and, at least for me, the interactive plots are working again. Sorry for any inconvenience, but hopefully this are now working again for you?

Appears to be working again for me too, thanks for looking into it

Glad to hear things are back working. I guess this is the downside of relying on CDNs for javascript. Maybe in the future I'll try to have a version that can just inline all the javascript directly into the html?
