DeprecationWarning scattermapbox unrelated trigger

[karrmagadgeteer2]

I just tried to update to version 6.0.0 for my project openseries. Using plotly.offline.plot triggers this DeprecationWarning:

DeprecationWarning: *scattermapbox* is deprecated! Use *scattermap* instead. Learn more at: https://plotly.com/python/mapbox-to-maplibre/

However, I am not using a scattermapbox, at least as far as I know. My code is here.

I assume it is related to #4900. Raising issue in case it was not intended.

Below is the output.

I've got the same error, but it seems to happen only in CI using pytest.

With the following in a file, I can run the file directly without problem, but running pytest plotly_file.py, I get the deprecation warning.

import plotly.express as px

def test_figure():
    _ = px.bar(x=["A", "B", "C"], y=[5, 10, 15])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_figure()

And a requirements.txt to reproduce it

Thanks for the bug report and follow-up everyone - I'll see if I can get someone to look into this in our current cycle.

We got the same issue here (scikit-learn/scikit-learn#30758). We're using px.scatter, and it's not clear from the message or the traceback, what we need to change. This seems like an internal usage of the deprecated thing.

Our traceback:
