Expected behaviour

Altair chart to appear in interactive window

Actual behaviour

Doesn't appear. If you switch the Mimetype to text/plain then back to text/HTML, it does appear. Works fine in notebook.

Steps to reproduce:

Run this code:


import pandas as pd

# Download World Development Indicators
wdi = pd.read_csv(
    "https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/nickeubank/"
    "MIDS_Data/master/World_Development_Indicators/wdi_small_tidy_2015.csv"
)

# Plot
import altair as alt

my_chart = (
    alt.Chart(wdi)
    .mark_circle(size=50)
    .encode(
        x="GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$)",
        y="Mortality rate, under-5 (per 1,000 live births)",
        tooltip=["Country Name"],
    )
    .interactive()
)
my_chart

Thanks for the bug. This seems to work for me. Might be a timing issue with when we append output though.

nickeubank commented 3 years ago

Saw it with quite a few students in my class doing this as an exercise yesterday, so pretty confident it isn't just me, even if it is intermittent. :/

rchiodo commented 3 years ago

Oh actually this works for me in insiders. In stable VS code I repro the bug you have. This looks like it's been fixed in the last month.

nickeubank commented 3 years ago

Wonderful, thanks!

rchiodo commented 3 years ago

New stable VS code version is coming out today? Tomorrow maybe.
