add_hline not working for make_subplots if not populated

[NoniosTheMad]

Whenever you add a hline/vline to a plot it should display it at the given position. However, when the figure is made with make_subplots and is not yet populated with data, it never shows the line.

import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots

for name, fig in {
    "go.Figure": go.Figure(),
    "make_subplots": make_subplots(rows=1, cols=1)
}.items():
    fig.add_hline(y=0.5)
    # Add a trace after the line
    fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[0, 1]))
    fig.update_layout(title=name)
    fig.show()

pip list
