ggiraph error after upgrading ggplot to version 2.2.0 about ggiraph

[ashishdamania]

Not sure if this will work for you.

1. Install ggplot from devtools
   devtools::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2")

2. "Reinstall" ggplot extensions

install.packages("ggrepel")
devtools::install_github('davidgohel/ggiraph')

Thanks @deepthoughts.This should be automatically fixed when a new version will be on CRAN (it will use the correct ggplot2 version)

[davidgohel]

@abiyug Hadley made a communication about ggplot2 extensions, they need to be rebuild with the latest version of ggplot2.

1. Get the latest version of ggplot2
2. build ggiraph from source

That should work.

@davidgohel I am not exactly sure what you mean here. So, if I have ggplot2 ver. 2.2.0 installed already, and am installing ggiraph from CRAN, it will automatically load ggplot2 ver 2.1.0?

Or, are we saying ggiraph works currently ONLY if we install ggplot2 from devtools?

[abiyug]

Well ggplto2 ver 2.2.0 (latest and on CRAN) isn't working well with ggiraph_0.3.2. Unless I am missing something. With so many extension, I wish there was an official version comparability matrix.

[davidgohel]

you did install ggiraph from source, right?

[davidgohel]

and official (cran) version is 2.2.1, not 2.2.0

[abiyug]

the version I had was ggplot2_2.2.0, I had to go back to ggplot2_2.1.0, but I see 2.2.1 is published on 2016-12-30. I will test that and revert.

[davidgohel]

OK, when testing, do not forget to install ggiraph from source (I will send an update to CRAN but not before 2/3 days).

David

[abiyug]

Ok.

[abiyug]

Upgrade to ggplot2_2.2.1 and issue is resolved.

[davidgohel]

I will submit to cran soon, when package will be build on CRAN, this issue should not happen anymore.
