Problems with IE 11 and Bokeh 0.12.5

Community Support

Hi,

I have recently updated to Bokeh 0.12.5 and am having problems with Internet Explorer 11.

I am using Anaconda to configure packages on my own machine.

My own, relatively simple, bokeh examples started displaying the following line when I updgraded to Bokeh 0.12.5

Bokeh Error

Invalid calling object

When I run my own examples in Chrome they function as expected.

I then tried the simple line example in the Getting Started part of the User Guide. This also displayed the error above.

Any help would be much appreciated on where to start looking.

Thanks

Peter

Hi, if you have a reproducible test case, I'd suggest making a GH issue:

  Issues · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub

I did do some measure of manual testing on Win10 with Edge and IE11 prior to release, but I would not describe it as fully adequate. Unfortunately the true amount of desired testing work far exceeds the human capacity of the small core team. We do release dev builds and release candidates with some regularity and we rely on the community to try them out and test them. I'd encourage anyone who regularly runs Window to try out these dev builds often, to help catch any Windows-specific problems as early as possible

It would also be phenomenal for someone to step up as the Windows maintainer, to help build and improve automated testing on Windows platforms, but so far there have been no takers. I'd also encourage anyone interested in helping to improved Windows testing to reach out.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

It occurred to me that it may be, somehow, connected to my work environment so I tried this on my windows 10 machine at home. Unfortunately it showed the same situation i.e. the error only occurred with bokeh 0.12.5 using IE 11. I will raise this as a bug as you suggest.

Thanks

Peter

Hey Bryan,

Seems like widgets do not like IE 11… even broken on Bokeh’s User Guide page: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/interaction/widgets.html

Keep up the fantastic work. Love Bokeh to death.

Hi,

can you file an issue on GH? That's the best place to keep track of this.

Thanks,

Bryan
