Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

Expected behavior is that the line: export_svgs(p, filename=“%s/”%script_outdir +str(1).zfill(3) + “_” +“output.svg”) will save 001_output.svg in the same directory that the notebook is.

@jonreade, please submit a new issue with this. There’s an obvious bug in phantomjs detection code on Python 3.

Hi Bryevdv, Hadn’t spotted any other posts on this so thought I’d give the 0.12.16 dev version a try as I was seeing similar issues with outputting a figure to a .PNG/.SVG file. Hopefully this is useful to you, but please let me know if I need to post more. I saw exactly the same issue as @Restmon saw above around permission errors with 0.12.15. With 0.12.16dev1, there’s still an error being generated from exactly the same point in the (my) source code, but now the error’s different. Nothing’s changed from the 0.12.15 call.

The OS is Windows(10), Python 3.6.1 x64 running in PyCharm rather than a notebook, Bokeh 0.12.16.dev1 (0.12.16dev1 without the final ‘.’ is also present in the package list) :

SOURCE: print(“About to plot test map”) p.circle(x=-21335.123, y=6699175.56789, size=10,color=“blue”) p.square(x=‘LonMercatorBinned’, y=‘LatMercatorBinned’, source=pbinnedsource, size=8, color={‘field’: ‘ElevationMetresBinned’, ‘transform’: color_mapper},)

output_file(“C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\LondonNew.html”) save(p) print(“Test map plot completed”)

from bokeh.io import export_svgs p.output_backend=“svg” print(“Output backend set to SVG”) export_svgs(p, filename=“C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\plot.svg”) # Fails on this call
