as_plotly = TRUE not working

[ghost]

I'm having issues implementing facet_trelliscope with as_plotly = TRUE

I get a message saying: "Could not load file: path *could not create htmlwidget thumbnail... will use blank thumbnail... Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[1]="file://C": The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Interesting. Can you send a small reproducible example?

[ghost]

Of course. I tried to mimic your example from here: http://stats.research.att.com/nycseminars/slides/hafen.pdf

Code:

library(tidyverse)
library(gapminder)
library(rbokeh)
library(visNetwork)
library(trelliscopejs)

p = qplot(year, lifeExp, data = gapminder, color = continent, group = country, geom = "line") + facet_wrap(~continent, nrow = 1)
plotly::ggplotly(p)
# Plots as expected

qplot(year, lifeExp, data = gapminder) +
xlim(1948, 2011) + ylim(10, 95) + theme_bw() +
facet_trelliscope(~ country + continent, 
nrow = 2, ncol = 7, width = 300, as_plotly = TRUE)

Console:

attach so many packages , but this tool is power ! like bokeh app

[ekoepplin]

@ishaverma12 did you manage to solve that issue?

[stewartli]

I run into the same problem. Look forward to any solutions. Thank you. Later, I tried one more time by adding "path =". It works, although plots show up on the web instead of the viewer.
