Specifying file path when calling orca from R #348

Open cbailiss opened 3 years ago

cbailiss commented 3 years ago

I create a chart in plotly, then attempt to export it to an image specifying a full file path, but get an unhandled JavaScript error. Is this supported - or can only a filename be specified?

Example:

p <- plot_ly(...)
orca(p, "C:/Folder1/Folder2/Chart.png")

It appears as though orca is attempting to create directories, even though they definitely already exist:

[Window Title] - Error

[Main Instruction] - A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

[Content]
Uncaught Exception:
