Can you post the code?

Can you post the code?

using PlotlyJS, CSV, DataFrames

df = dataset(DataFrame, "iris")

plt = plot(

    df,

    x=:sepal_length, y=:sepal_width, z=:petal_width, color=:species,

    type="scatter3d", mode="markers"

)
display(plt)

and there is no output in the terminal

Maybe you may need a backend for plotting, e.g. using WebIO?

WebIO is installed, and there is no difference after added using WebIO. I think it's a electron problem, the electron process starts and shows the window and loading animation before exits. The exported html file using PlotlyBase.to_html works well.

[mzaffalon]

Does the following work?

using WebIO, PlotlyJS
plot(scatter(y=randn(100)))

[zhufengning]

using WebIO, PlotlyJS
p=plot(scatter(y=randn(100)))
display(p)

when using display to show the gui, it still crash.

[mzaffalon]

Could it be a WebIO issue? What happens if you pin the package to v0.8.17 as in https://github.com/JuliaGizmos/WebIO.jl/issues/493#issuecomment-1175841764?

[zhufengning]

still the same

[mzaffalon]

What is the output of import Pkg; Pkg.status()?

i found more about this bug. if i run julia --project=. a.jl, the window will crash. if i run julia --project=. and then run include("a.jl") in the repl, the window won't crash.

You need to put a readline() or similar at the end of your script to prevent the julia process from shutting down immediately
