Error: Cannot find module 'electron'

hadim commented 4 years ago

Step to reproduce

conda install -y -c conda-forge plotly-orca==1.3.1

Running orca --help gives the following error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:955
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'electron'

}

I also tried to conda install electron without success.

It actually works using the plotly channel. Would that be possible to sync the conda-forge package with your package?

I had a similar problem - running orca --help produced the following error:

module.js:478
    throw err;
    ^

It was fixed by installing plotly-orca using the following command:

conda install -c plotly plotly-orca==1.3.1

...which, I believe, is what @hadim meant by his comment above:

what about solution when I am installing using npm/pip? I tried to install electron via npm but it doesn't work

nicolaskruchten commented 3 years ago

I'll just mention that we're basically replacing Orca with the new Kaleido project (https://github.com/plotly/Kaleido) which is significantly easier to install (i.e. it works with just pip!) and is our new recommended way forward for static image export :)

Hi, I am facing the same issue, running orca --help gives the following error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:626
    throw err;
    ^

}

I have already installed 'electron' and for the command conda install -c plotly plotly-orca==1.3.1 I get the following output:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

so I had installed orca with conda install -y -c conda-forge plotly-orca==1.3.1 Is it possible to sync the orca from conda-forge package with plotly package?
