Power BI R Custom Visual loading, except Leaflet Tiles for the basemap

Hi! I'm trying to incorporate a R-Custom Visual using leaflet. I've been able to load the visual and everything works except the base map. 

Here's a snippet with the tile part of the code: 

shape <-leaflet()%>%
addTiles("https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png")%>%
addPolygons(data = treatmentplants,
color =~pal(DWMLabel),weight = 1,smoothFactor = 0.5,
opacity = 0.5, fillOpacity = 0.5,
highlightOptions = highlightOptions(color = "white", weight = 2,
bringToFront = FALSE),

 

I switched from my original input which was " addProviderTiles(providers$Esri.WorldGrayCanvas)%>%" because of this link on stackoverflow. Both ways aren't working. Is it because the baselayer is coming from online and PowerBI doesn't support that with R custom visuals? 

 

Thanks in advance!

You need to use the renderer that comes with Power BI.  Matplotlib, basically.

Does that happen in the Rscript or the in the visual script? Are there examples you could point me too? Thanks!

I'm creating an R-Custom Visual not an R visual in the PowerBI desktop. I haven't seen any examples about the Matplotlib rendering

Display devices: Only plots that are plotted to the R default display device are displayed correctly on the canvas. Avoid explicitly using a different R display device.
