orca error

Hi Carson Sievert,

An error occur when I want to export graph using orca.

# help orca example
p <- plot_ly(z = ~volcano) %>% add_surface()
orca(p, "surface-plot.svg")

I obtain these R output

Erreur : The orca command-line utility is required for this functionality.
Please follow the installation instructions here -- https://github.com/plotly/orca#installation

which come from your orca_available() function

orca_available <- function() {
  if (Sys.which("orca") == "" || !correct_orca()) {
    stop(
      "The orca command-line utility is required for this functionality.\n\n",
      "Please follow the installation instructions here -- https://github.com/plotly/orca#installation",
      call. = FALSE
    )
  }
  
  TRUE
}

but, as shown below, orca is available on my computer

$ orca
Plotly's image-exporting utilities

  Usage: orca [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]

  Available commands:
  - graph [or plotly-graph, plotly_graph]
    Generates an image of plotly graph from inputted plotly.js JSON attributes.
    For more info, run `orca graph --help`.
  - serve [or server]
    Boots up a server with one route per available export component
    For more info, run `orca serve --help`.

The bug come from correct_orca() (orca.R, lines 201-210), with As shown below, processx::run() don't export the first line "Plotly's image-exporting utilities" of stdout which is use by grepl to return TRUE.

# orca.R lines 207-210
correct_orca <- function() {
  orca_help <- processx::run("orca", "-h")
  grepl("plotly", orca_help[["stdout"]], ignore.case = TRUE)
}

# processx line
> processx::run("orca", "-h")

Maybe you can remove correct_orca() function to prevent this bug, and because you test orca availability with Sys.which("orca") on orca_available()

Sincerely,

Aurélien BRIONNE,

orca.R の201〜210行目付近から始め、報告された orca() の例を、文書化されている processx::run("orca", "-h") の出力で再現してください。correct_orca() がコマンドをどのように検証し、orca_available() がその結果をどのように使用するかを確認してください。インストール済みの Orca がヘルプ出力のローカライズ時にも認識され、利用できない Orca では引き続き意図したエラーが生成されれば完了です。
