Provide an explicit argument in api_create() to overwrite file

[likso]

p <- plot_ly(z = ~volcano) %>% add_surface()
api_create(p, filename = "file/volcano", sharing = "private")

A random number named of public grid is created home when posting a private graph.

Hmm, seems to work for me -- what happens if you run plotly:::verify("username") and plotly:::verify("api_key")? Don't post you api key here, but please email me if these are properly configured and you have a paid account.

[likso]

It shows my username and my api key correctly. And yes, I have a paid account.

[likso]

It happened on both R 3.3.3 windows and R 3.4.0 linux platform.

Ok, thanks, could you also provide the output of devtools::session_info(), api("files/lookup?path=file/volcano"), and a link to the file it created?

Ah, I think I see the problem.

The new version of the API creates a "grid" backing each plot, which is located here -- https://plot.ly/~nickso/7121/

The actual plot is located at -- https://plot.ly/~nickso/7122/

I can see the grid, but not the plot. In other words, the plot is private, but the grid is not.

[cpsievert]

Thanks! Installing the dev version of the package should fix the problem (let me know if not)

devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly")

[likso]

Tested and the grid created is private. However the location of the grid is now at HOME and the filename of the grid is random generated. The original behavior of plotly_POST is the put the grid with appending " Grid" to the graph filename which located in the same folder of the graph.

And do you have any idea to put in back the argument fileopt = "overwrite" in api_create()? Since I would like to skip any interactive confirmation to overwrite existing files.

[cpsievert]

fileopt was deprecated in the new version of the API, but I could add a similar argument to api_create()

[dolomitejunkie]

Thank you for adding this to v3.6.1, it is a very useful capability we have lost.
