Chart.display() seems not working, and raw output of Chart.to_js_literal() is not an out-of-the-box feature. about highcharts-core HOT 1 CLOSED

Hmm - odd. This had been working fine prior to the release of Highcharts (JS) v.11. I'll have to look into what caused the issue. However, removing the new in the JS literal serialization definitely seems to solve the problem, and seems to be stable (my tests so far have not uncovered any issues). I'll finish running through my CI/CD pipeline and push a new version out that patches this problem within the next couple of hours.

The other issue you mentioned - namely the need to specify a container - is the intended behavior. When using Chart.display(), Highcharts for Python will supply a default container name for you for convenience, but when serializing directly to a JS literal string using Chart.to_js_literal() there is no default container name assumed.

This is by design, since you might be doing various other things with the JS literal code in your Javascript, so the assumption is that if you have not specified a container explicitly, you are doing so by design. You can address this when producing a JS literal by simply setting Chart.container = container or by setting the container property when instantiating your chart: my_chart = Chart(container = 'container', ...).

This issue will auto-close when the new version is being released (technically, it will auto-close when the fix is merged into the master branch, which should happen 1 - 2 minutes prior to the new version being available on PyPi).
