Plotly fig.write_image() takes forever
and doesn't produce any image
I'm using
python 3.10.11
Plotly 5.14.1
kaleido 0.2.1
Win 11 22H2
VSCode 1.78.2
when I try to execute a cell with fig.write_image('filename.png', format = 'png') the cell just runs forever without producing any .png files.
Task manager shows 3 kaleido.exe running processes.
Kaleido is installed to the same directroy as plotly (and other packages)
On the contrary, write_html() works perfectly with the very same graph and saves a .html graph in a second.
Minimally reproducible example:
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.line(x=[0,1,2], y=[0,1,2])
fig.write_image("plot.png", format = 'png', width = 500, height = 500, scale = 1, engine = 'kaleido')
Kinda working solution: downgrading kaleido to version 0.1.0.post1 kinda solved the issue,
but is there a way to make kaleido 0.2.1 working?
