Thumbnail generation is not working for plotly plots

[tkaraouzene]

Hi everyone and thanks for your library,

I'm trying to generate thumbnails for my examples using plotly library.

Here is a subtract of my conf.py

from plotly.io._sg_scraper import plotly_sg_scraper

# Sphinx gallery configuration
pio.renderers.default = "sphinx_gallery_png"
sphinx_gallery_conf = {
    ...
    "image_scrapers": ("matplotlib", plotly_sg_scraper),
} 

I have:

• kaleido=0.2.1
• sphinx-gallery=0.15.0

Despite that I have no thumbnails generated for any of my plots.
Any help would be welcome.

Thanks

I think this is expected behavior based on the fact that it also happens here

https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/stable/auto_plotly_examples/index.html

Can you open an issue with the plotly folks? I think it is something they'll need to fix at their end as they maintain their scraper
