The following code:

               	y=[20, 14, 23])
testfig=plot(data)

PlotlyJS.savefig(testfig,"fig1.jpeg")

Got this error when not connected to the internet

When I connect to the internet fig1.jpeg works but I also get error mesages:

It would be very helpful if someone could help me find a way to save the figure as a local file without connecting to the internet. Thank you!

Regarding the UndefVarError: you could pin WebIO to v0.8.17 as described in JuliaGizmos/WebIO.jl#493 (comment)

Thank you!! That fixed the UndefVarError!

Do you maybe have any thoughts on the 'Transform failed' error?

Sorry, this is above my pay grade. Maybe @sglyon can answer that?

[rasmushenningsson]

I'm currently on a shaky internet connection and I get this problem very very often when using savefig:
Transform failed with error code 1: Failed to serialize document: Uncaught.

It seems to me like a bug that it tries to connect to the internet just to save a file locally. Is it a problem in Kaleido or a config issue of how Kaleido is used?
