plotly.write_image(fig) keeps executing without end

[AnupamSaraph]

While the code below would earlier produce png, svg, or html based on the extension, it is going into an endless execution of the cell and producing no output even after three hours.

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np
from pathlib import Path

file_name = Path.cwd().joinpath("images")
if not f.is_dir(): f.mkdir()
file_name = file_name.joinpath("fig1.png")

fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(x=np.linspace(1,10,100), y=np.sin(np.linspace(-np.pi,np.pi, 100))))
fig.show()
fig.write_image(file_name, engine='auto')

I am using plotly 5.8.0 and kaleido 0.2.1

This should be a problem with the plotly package. It's never finishing.

It did work for me though. I have version 5.8.0 too. Maybe some other package is out of date? I had to install kaleido (version 0.2.1) to get this to work.

I can confirm it works for me too
