Stacked bar plot is broken in hvplot 0.11.0

[mosc9575]

In the latest version of hvplot plotting stacked bars from a DataFrame with multiple columns is broken.

See the second example in the latest docs.

minimal example

from hvplot.sample_data import us_crime

crime = us_crime.read()
print(type(crime))
crime.head()

crime.hvplot.bar(x='Year', y=['Violent crime total', 'Property crime total'],
                 stacked=True, rot=90, width=800, legend='top_left')

I y is a string and not a list, the bar plot works!

I should have fixed this in HoloViews with holoviz/holoviews#6365, but it has yet to be released.

Fixed on the website by building it with a dev release of HoloViews. The underlying issue will be fixed when HoloViews 1.20 is released.

Just want to note the same problem. Could have saved myself a few hours of work by looking here earlier. cheers

Is there a dev version published that has this fix?

[maximlt]

Yes, you need to install the latest dev version of holoviews.

Yes, you need to install the latest dev version of holoviews.

Thanks @maximlt for answering. I had missed the fact that it was holoviews upstream and not hvplot so was confused when looking for a dev release and not finding anything above 0.11.0. From your pointer I've now added holoviews@v1.20.0rc0 and it is working as expected.
