Description
Hi R Plotly Devs,
I hope this finds you well!
This issue involves a dataset with a factor where one factor level isn't represented.
When rendering a ggplot that plots a contour, ggplot will provide informative warnings that zero contours were drawn due to the missing factor level.
However, when this plot object is passed into ggplotly the following error is thrown:
Warning: stat_contour(): Zero contours were generated
Warning in min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
Warning in max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf
Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "fill", value = NA) :
replacement has 1 row, data has 0
I hope this is a relatively easy fix!

Research direction
Start by running the reproducible R example in the issue and tracing how ggplotly handles the zero-contour layer produced by the missing factor level. Done means the plot no longer throws the data-frame replacement error while retaining the informative zero-contour warnings.
