Error rendering plot with phantomjs

See original GitHub issue

When I try to render a heatmap with phantomjs I get the following error:

TypeError: undefined is not a constructor (evaluating 'ArrayBuffer.isView(t)')

This behavior seems to have started in 1.17.0. It works fine in 1.16.3. I am using phantomjs 2.1.1. I have attached an example that can be run by the following command:

./phantomjs.exe test.js

The example assumes everything is in the current directory. It is rendering the Annotated Heatmap example from the plotly docs.

Yeah, it doesn’t really seem like your problem at this point. We have the work around of using 1.16.3 for working with phantomjs at this point. I’ll look into your suggestions when I get a chance, and I’ll report back if I find a better solution. Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem. Strangely ArrayBuffer.isView is not implemented by many polyfills including the one referenced above. However, this polyfill does implement it.

polyfill.js (minified: polyfill.min.js) has everything in web.js plus es5.js and es6.js and es2016.js

Include the minified polyfill before plotly and it works fine. e.g.

<head>
  <script src="/polyfill.min.js"></script>
  <script src="/plotly.min.js"></script>
</head>
