Installing plotly with ipywigets 7.5 fails to plot in jupyter lab

Hi,

I noticed that if I upgrade to the latest version of ipywidgets==7.5 this breaks FigureWidget in my jupyter lab notebook (in offline mode).

The part of my docker file that install plotly looks like this:

RUN pip install plotly==3.10.0 jupyterlab==0.35 ipywidgets==7.5 psutil

# Install Jupyter Lab Extensions
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RUN export NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 \
    && jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager@0.38 --no-build \
    && jupyter labextension install plotlywidget@0.11.0 --no-build \
    && jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/plotly-extension@0.18.2 --no-build \
    && jupyter lab build

I get the “Error displaying widget” message. Looking in the console gives me this error:

Uncaught (in promise) Module @jupyter-widgets/base, semver range ^1.2.0 is not registered as a widget module
vendors~main.dfdb0f7451aa8d94f759.js:460982 Error displaying widget
vendors~main.dfdb0f7451aa8d94f759.js:460983 Module @jupyter-widgets/base, semver range ^1.2.0 is not registered as a widget module

If I revert back to 7.4 then the error goes away. I only noticed this because I originally had my ipywidgets install line set to "ipywidgets>=7.2" which is what the plotly.py install instructions recommend.

Hi all, yesterday we released version 4.0.0 of the plotly package which has support for ipywidgets 7.5 when used with JupyterLab 1.0. See https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/ for installation instructions. Thanks!

Hi @samueljackson92,

For ipywidgets 7.5 I think you’ll need @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager@1.0.0. We’ll be publishing a release candidate for plotly.py version 4 soon, and that will include instructions for JupyterLab 1.0 and ipywidgets 7.5. Stay tuned.
