Plotly: Error when using 'config' options with latest plotly R package

[gtumuluri]

I have been using the 'config' option and as below forever at the end of my plotly plot code, and suddenly it stops working from RStudio console (simply returns textual object to console) and simply fails with an error in Shiny.

Code:

plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, type = 'scatter', mode = 'markers') %>% 
  config(displayModeBar = 'hover', showLink = FALSE, displaylogo = FALSE)

Console output (instead of a plot in the 'viewer') in RStudio console:

<request>
Options:
* : list(x = list(visdat = list(`11c46bc2822` = function () 
plotlyVisDat), cur_data = "11c46bc2822", attrs = list(`11c46bc2822` = list(x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, mode = "markers", alpha = 1, sizes = c(10, 100), type = "scatter")), layout = list(width = NULL, height = NULL, margin = list(b = 40, l = 60, t = 25, r = 10)), config = list(modeBarButtonsToRemove = "sendDataToCloud"), base_url = "https://plot.ly", source = "A"), width = NULL, height = NULL, sizingPolicy = list(defaultWidth = "100%", defaultHeight = 400, padding = NULL, viewer = list(defaultWidth = NULL, 
    defaultHeight = NULL, padding = NULL, fill = TRUE, suppress = FALSE, paneHeight = NULL), browser = list(defaultWidth = NULL, defaultHeight = NULL, padding = NULL, fill = TRUE), knitr = list(defaultWidth = NULL, defaultHeight = NULL, figure = TRUE)), dependencies = NULL, elementId = NULL, preRenderHook = function (p) 
{
    UseMethod("plotly_build")
}, jsHooks = list())
* displayModeBar: hover
* showLink: FALSE
* displaylogo: FALSE

Shiny app and error when opening the plot:

ui <- fluidPage(
  fluidRow(
    mainPanel(
      plotlyOutput('plot'),
      width = 12
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$plot <- renderPlotly({
    plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, type = 'scatter', mode = 'markers') %>%
    config(displayModeBar = 'hover', showLink = FALSE, displaylogo = FALSE)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Any idea what is going on?

I am getting this error with plotly 4.6.0. The examples provied by gtumuluri fail for me.

I also get the same error message as gtumuliri
Warning: Error in UseMethod: no applicable method for 'ggplotly' applied to an object of class "request"
when using the 'config' option with plotly version 4.7.0 and shiny version 1.0.3.

[Cervus1983]

Same problem. Plotly 4.7.0. Shiny 1.0.3.

[adelahladka]

Same problem, plotly 4.7.1, shiny 1.1.0

Warning: Error in UseMethod: no applicable method for 'ggplotly' applied to an object of class "request"

This issue this likely fixed by changing config() to plotly::config() ^^^
