Regression bug: toWebGL() doesn't show points in RStudio Viewer on Windows

[daattali]

This was introduced some time between 2018-01-26 to 2018-03-07

toWebGL(plot_ly(iris, x = ~Sepal.Width, y = ~Sepal.Length))

In RStudio on Windows, the plot shows up empty

(originally reported in #1211)

Do you see any console errors similar to this? -- plotly/plotly.js#2457

[daattali]

Yes -

I believe this is fixed now, please re-open if not @daattali

[daattali]

@cpsievert I just installed plotly from and I still have the same issue, with the same javascript console error (I don't have the power to open the issue)

@daattali what version of RStudio are you running? The new preview release changed rendering engines (it's now based on chromium) which might fix a lot of the issues you're experiencing

[daattali]

I just downloaded today's preview v1.2.679 and I still do not see any points in rstudio
