I'm trying to learn backtesting.py, when I run the following sample code, it pops up these errors, anyone could help? I tried to uninstall the Bokeh package and reinstall an older version, but it doen't work.

BokehDeprecationWarning: Passing lists of formats for DatetimeTickFormatter scales was deprecated in Bokeh 3.0. Configure a single string format for each scale

  warnings.warn(f"DatetimeFormatter scales now only accept a single format. Using the first prodvided: {fmt[0]!r} ")

from backtesting.test import GOOG

class RsiOscillator(Strategy):

    upper_bound = 70
    lower_bound = 30
    rsi_window = 14

    # Do as much initial computation as possible
    def init(self):
        self.rsi = self.I(ta.rsi, pd.Series(self.data.Close), self.rsi_window)

    # Step through bars one by one
    # Note that multiple buys are a thing here
    def next(self):
        if crossover(self.rsi, self.upper_bound):
            self.position.close()
        elif crossover(self.lower_bound, self.rsi):
            self.buy()

bt = Backtest(GOOG, RsiOscillator, cash=10_000, commission=.002)
stats = bt.run()
bt.plot()

An issue was opened for this in the GitHub repo: https://github.com/kernc/backtesting.py/issues/803

A comment in the issue suggests to downgrade bokeh to 2.4.3:

python3 -m pip install bokeh==2.4.3

This worked for me.

I had a similar issue, using Spyder IDE.

Found out I need to call the below for the plot to show for Spyder.

backtesting.set_bokeh_output(notebook=False)

I have update Python to version 3.11 & downgrade bokeh to 2.4.3

This worked for me.

Downgrading Bokeh didn't work for me. But, after importing backtesting in Jupyter, I needed to do: backtesting.set_bokeh_output(notebook=False)

The expected plot was then generated in a new interactive browser tab.
