JupyterPlot not defined

I’m trying to use the PlotlyJS backend on Julia 1.0 on Mac, but am getting

UndefVarError: JupyterPlot not defined

The plotlyjs backend for Plots.jl is close to ready, but not quite there.

See here for status: JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#1730

In the mean time you can try using just PlotlyJS by itself, or see if another plots backend works for you.

Hopefully everything is running smoothly in the next couple of days

[dpsanders]

OK, thanks a lot - sorry, I didn't realise that the backend was not released at the same time.

[dpsanders]

Any update on this?

[sglyon]

No, not yet sorry. I don't anticipate it being difficult, but I don't think Plots maintainers or myself have had the time to dig into it

[fpmenninger]

Coming from above reference: Julia/Plots.jl#1793 with renewed request for fix.

Should not be happening on recent versions of Plots or PlotlyJS

[lwabeke]

I still see this with master from both PlotlyJS and Plots.
I tried to figure out what happened by going through the history.
It seems at during the rework on 27 and 28 Aug, the PlotlyJS/src/displays/ijulia.jl was deleted and the code reworked. But the Plots/backends/plotlyjs.jl file was not updated to work with the new structure.
Unfortunately it is such a big rework, that it isn't obvious to me what the new equivalent to JupyterPlot is in the new code architecture. Thus no quick PR, it will take a bit of time to study what is going on.

@lwabeke could you please provide a link to the file and line in Plots.jl that still uses JupyterPlot?
