DQ Dashboard: Plotly ValueError thrown when `len(columns) > 15:`

I’m running a DQ Dashboard as follows:

dq_dashboard = Dashboard(tabs=[DataQualityTab()])
dq_dashboard.calculate(ref_data_sample, prod_data_sample, column_mapping=column_mapping)

When the number of columns in my dataframe is greater than 15 I get the following Plotly error:

[ValueError: 
    Invalid value of type 'builtins.str' received for the 'text' property of heatmap
        Received value: ''

    The 'text' property is an array that may be specified as a tuple,
    list, numpy array, or pandas Series]()

Plotly expects an array for text here but a str is passed.

I suspect it’s due to this line in data_quality_correlations.py:

https://github.com/evidentlyai/evidently/blob/ed2558c1becfce6bed0379211ea15aaa3aaa666a/src/evidently/dashboard/widgets/data_quality_correlations.py#L121

versions: evidently = "0.1.47.dev1" plotly = "5.6.0"

@benjamintanweihao, we are planning for April 11th

By the way, if correlations are not your main goal, you can exclude this widget from Data Quality dashboard till April 11th =) (https://docs.evidentlyai.com/user-guide/customization/select-widgets-to-display include_widgets parameter)

Hi @chrisjclarke, @benjamintanweihao! Thanks for reporting, we have fixed this bug. The update will be published in the next release.
