.NET PowerShell notebook does not work with Plotly

Describe the bug

Trying to execute code within a .NET PowerShell notebook (locally using Jupyter lab, locally using VS Code and also online) does throw an error when trying to display Plotly charts via New-PlotlyChart. Example code: `$chart = [Graph.Bar]::new()

$chart.x = 20,14,23 $chart.y = ‘lions’, ‘tigers’, ‘bears’ $chart.orientation=‘h’

New-PlotlyChart -Trace $chart | Out-Display`

Error: InvalidOperation: Unable to find type [Graph.Bar]. The term ‘New-PlotlyChart’ is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file

I would not call then diversions, they are interesting takes and feature improvements! Thank you for the contributions to the project. I would love to see more work that makes extension and api even more tuned into the kernel language consuming it. That will make the user experience incredibly better.

Just a nod that I’m fine with closing it. I think I’ve created two diversions which should be items in their own right. Sorry for that.

Sorry fingers going faster than brain when I pasted. The whole thing is

#!pwsh
$pshome
$p = Get-process -id $pid   
$p, $p.Parent, $p.Parent.Parent,$p.Parent.Parent.parent,$p.Parent.Parent.parent.parent
Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_process -Filter "processID = $($p.id)" |  select -expand commandline
Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_process -Filter "processID = $($p.Parent.id)" |  select -expand commandline
Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_process -Filter "processID = $($p.Parent.parent.id)" |  select -expand commandline
Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_process -Filter "processID = $($p.Parent.parent.parent.id)" |  select -expand commandline
Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_process -Filter "processID = $($p.Parent.parent.parent.parent.id)" |  select -expand commandline

The output is

Notice it’s gone back to --default-kernel csharp

@colombod

Which gives me a clue If I change it to the last one This disappears

The language on the cell is respected and the two command lines become

"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" C:\Users\xxxxx\.nuget\packages\microsoft.dotnet-interactive\1.0.221202\tools/net5.0/any/Microsoft.DotNet.Interactive.App.dll [vscode] stdio --working-dir c:\Users\xxxx\Documents\AzDo\ --http-port 50111
dotnet tool run dotnet-interactive -- [vscode] stdio --working-dir c:\Users\xxxx\Documents\AzDo\ --http-port 50111

Every time I exit and restart vs code it reverts to the Jupyter version which would explain why I was getting the old version of .NET Interactive which was associated with the Jupyter Server and couldn’t get #!about show anything current.

If I start the server in anaconda and go to the browser I get these kernels

Not quite the same set, and I get a third set in Az Data Studio.

Back at plotly It needs to be added manually and downloaded for each session ? Is that expected to remain ?
