interactive R graphics libraries does not work in PBI

I tried using dygraph and plotly , but they give me any error or graph.

I used this: https://radacad.com/interactive-map-using-r-and-power-bi-create-custom-visual-part-1

If the chart is made non-interactive, then everything works.

what's the error message?  Are you trying to plot to a non-standard output device?

I want to plot a simple interactive graph in power BI only.

I use:

rhtml template 

"pbiviz package" does not throw errors

in power BI I have no errors, but and the graph is not visible too

 

 

source('./r_files/flatten_HTML.r')

You must plot to the default device

How can i do this? I just used the template example. It says in the reviews that it works without any changes. Thanks a lot

That would be a question for whoever wrote the reviews.
