Having trouble getting line chart example working

[cmaurer]

let me take a look

[cmaurer]

can you post your code on plnkr so I can get a better idea of whats happening?

Sorry, I've had a frustrating go at it today as nothing seemed to be working. I had to monkey-patch my current setup due to an upstream bug with NVD3, which took a non-trivial amount of time to discover and resolve. Then I ran into this current issue, and after trying everything I could (and reaching the upper-limits of my frustration threshold), I posted here hoping the symptoms would be indicative of the issue, as time isn't a luxury considering the previous problem set me back quite a bit.

And then I noticed it -- your examples were all including a nv.d3.css. The problem is, I didn't seem to have that file in my project. "Ok, maybe they renamed or moved it" I thought, so I dug around but didn't find any CSS at all, either in your or in NVD3's bower dir. As a last resort, I checked the NVD3 project here on Github, and while they do have that file listed in their repo, it's not actually included in the bower package that I installed...

So, I had to manually download nv.d3.css like a caveman and add the relevant references in my project (npm/bower/etc. have me so spoiled), and after a fresh build everything's working!

Thanks for offering to assist -- I closed the issue here when I discovered the root of the problem , but at the time I wasn't sure where the defect actually was, and so was hesitant to comment in a speculative manner.

No problem. I was struggling with the same nvd3 issue as well. The bower.json file issue.

I apologize about the CSS file. I know how frustrating it is to spin on an issue. I think since I have built this so many ways that I overlooked the CSS file not in bower.

Let me know if you run into any other issues.

No need to apologize, not your fault. I do plan to open an issue with NVD3 tomorrow though.

for what it is worth, using 'grunt-curl', the following will download the latest css for you. This should get you going until the css is included in bower.

npm install grunt-curl

curl: {
'[path to]/nv.d3.css': 'https://raw.github.com/novus/nvd3/master/src/nv.d3.css',
}

Thanks! I went ahead and just did it manually, but this might be useful for others.

I haven't opened a ticket with NVD3 yet because I am not 100% certain that there is a problem with their project, since I've yet to be able to install it via Bower. Though they seemingly have committed fixes for the JSON issue, it's not been released...
