@marthacryan can you please check if this is connected with / fixed by changes in the release candidate?

[marthacryan]

@gvwilson Tried this out on master branch and it looks to still be present. I'm seeing this output when I run the nbconvert command: [NbConvertApp] Converting notebook test-notebook.ipynb to html /Users/marthacryan/micromamba/envs/plotly/share/jupyter/nbconvert/templates/base/display_priority.j2:32: UserWarning: Your element with mimetype(s) dict_keys(['application/vnd.plotly.v1+json']) is not able to be represented.

I think this should be fixed by #5096.

I'm also experiencing this related problem: I work in VSCode and I can not see the interactive plots in https://nbviewer.org/, despite using "vscode+notebook".

I think this was working before upgrading to version 6: indeed, #5096 mentions as cause #4822 that was part of the 6.0.0 release. Downgrading to plotly<6 solved the issue.

@marthacryan I hope your PR with the fix gets merged soon!

@marthacryan, update to 549b457 version: the only keyword that works for all VSCode and nbviewer, plotly<6.0.0 or plotly>6.0.1 is notebook_connected.
Apparently, vscode+notebook is not rendering in nbviewer.
Tested here: https://github.com/danieleongari/nbviewer_test

[marthacryan]

I found a fix for this! @danieleongari would you be able to test that out by any chance? My PR is #5154.

[danieleongari]

Hurray, working as expected!

"jupyterlab", # only visible in VSCode
"vscode", # only visible in VSCode
"notebook", # both VSCode and nbviewer
"vscode+notebook", # both VSCode and nbviewer
"notebook_connected", # both VSCode and nbviewer
"colab", # both VSCode and nbviewer

Thanks a lot @marthacryan
