Getting error when running custom visual using R script and Plotly

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I have created a small custom visual for Power BI using Plotly. I have used the rhtml way of doing this and everything works in POwer BI desktop, but when I publish the report using the visual I got an error saying 

Package 'Plotly' has a dependency that is currently unavailable.

I have also installed the visual in my organization part of power bi service. I am using R version 3.4.4 and I also checked the package version. I had to downgrade some of them. The only one I have problem with downgrading was XML. I didn't manage to run this, but I am not sure if this is the problem. Anyway, if somebody has a workaround on this please let me know

regards geir

downgrade code run in Rstudio

packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/XML/XML_3.98-1.10.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")

Hi, @Anonymous 

There are some requirements and limitations of R packages. It is indicated in the official document that the supported version for ploty is 4.7.1. You may get it with the corresponding link. For further information, please refer to the document .

Hi again.

I am very aware of that document and as I said in my post I have downgraded many of the packages using RStudio, and I was succeeded to do that on every packages but one. I could not manage to downgrade XML to the version explained in my post from the CRAN archieve. I believe I need to be able to do that to come any further.

Or can I trust Rstudio? I have experienced that Rstudio actually not change the R installation and I have to use Rtools instead. Any comments on that?
