orca always requires mapbox token

[hschult]

Like the title says the problem is that the orca() function always throws an error that a mapbox token has to be assigned even if the given plot does not depend on mapbox.

I don't think a reprex is really needed but anyway:

Sys.unsetenv("MAPBOX_TOKEN")

p <- plot_ly(z = ~volcano) %>% add_surface()
orca(p, "surface-plot.svg")

With R 3.5.1, Plotly 4.8.0 and Orca 1.1.1 it already happens:

> pl <- plot_ly()
> pl <- add_trace(pl, y = c(1,2,3), type = "scatter", mode = "lines")
> orca(pl, "Void.png")
Error: No mapbox access token found. Obtain a token here
https://www.mapbox.com/help/create-api-access-token/
Once you have a token, assign it to an environment variable 
named 'MAPBOX_TOKEN', for example,
Sys.setenv('MAPBOX_TOKEN' = 'secret token')

I'm having a similar issue with the orca function. Also in R 3.51 and Plotly 4.8.0, but if I set MAPBOX_TOKEN to some nominal value then the orca function just hangs (even for a simple line plot of with x=1:10, y=1:10). The depreciated export() function gives me an unusual bug. My data is lognormal, and when rendering points from a lognormal distribution the resulting image is missing all of the points below a certain threshold.

p <- plot_ly() %>% add_lines(x=1:30, y=rlnorm(30)); export(p, '~/test.png')

Have you tried installing from Github? devtools::install_github('ropensci/plotly')

I get an error message:
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] grab failed: window not viewable.

Can you run this from the command line?

$ orca graph '{ "data": [{"y": [1,2,1]}] }' -o fig.png

Fails with the below output. I primarily use Python 2.7, could that be part of the issue?

Edit: the bolded 'init' below should just have the double underscores wrapping it, not sure how to escape the bold face.

I'm not sure, this would be a better venue to get help debugging your setup -- https://github.com/plotly/orca/issues

Make sure you can run the 'hello world' examples before using orca() in R. -- https://github.com/plotly/orca#quick-start

I have the same issue here. I have submitted an issue for Orca, but got redirected here, apparently it's an R API problem.
Using Mac (Mojave 10.14.4), RStudio (1.2.1335), Plotly (4.8.0).

Everything works fine if the environment variable exists, the token doesn't have to be valid at all.

Plotly 4.9.0 doesn't have this problem. Install with install.packages("plotly")
