Input to asJSON warning message when using combineWidgets

[JauntyJJS]

Hi,

I wanted to manipulateWidget::combineWidgets to create the following plot

I tried to implement this using the following R code

library(plotly)
#> Loading required package: ggplot2
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'plotly'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:ggplot2':
#> 
#>     last_plot
#> The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
#> 
#>     filter
#> The following object is masked from 'package:graphics':
#> 
#>     layout
library(ggplot2)
library(magrittr)

data <- head(ggplot2::diamonds)

fig1 <- plotly::plot_ly(
  type = 'table',
  columnwidth = c(100, 100),
  columnorder = c(0, 1),
  header = list(
    values = c("Cut","Price"),
    align = c("center", "center"),
    line = list(width = 1, color = 'black'),
    fill = list(color = c("grey", "grey")),
    font = list(family = "Arial", size = 14, color = "white")
  ),
  cells = list(
    values = rbind(data$cut, data$price),
    align = c("center", "center"),
    line = list(color = "black", width = 1),
    font = list(family = "Arial", size = 12, color = c("black"))
  ))

cut_name <- data  %>%
  dplyr::pull(.data[["cut"]]) %>%
  unique() %>%
  as.character()

cut_pal <- c("#377eb8","#b72e92","#322eb7","#b7772e") %>%
  stats::setNames(cut_name)

fig2 <- plotly::plot_ly() %>% 
  plotly::add_trace(data = data, 
                    x = data[["cut"]], 
                    y = data[["price"]],
                    color = data[["cut"]],
                    colors = cut_pal,
                    type = "scatter",
                    mode = 'markers')

fig <- manipulateWidget::combineWidgets(list = list(fig2, fig1))

fig
#> Input to asJSON(keep_vec_names=TRUE) is a named vector. In a future version of jsonlite, this option will not be supported, and named vectors will be translated into arrays instead of objects. If you want JSON object output, please use a named list instead. See ?toJSON.

Unfortunately, it gives this warning message "Input to asJSON(keep_vec_names=TRUE) is a named vector. In a future version of jsonlite, this option will not be supported, and named vectors will be translated into arrays instead of objects. If you want JSON object output, please use a named list instead. See ?toJSON."

Strangely, if I did not put in any custom colors to the plot,

    font = list(family = "Arial", size = 12, color = c("black"))
  ))

fig2 <- plotly::plot_ly() %>% 
  plotly::add_trace(data = data, 
                    x = data[["cut"]], 
                    y = data[["price"]],
                    type = "scatter",
                    mode = 'markers')

fig <- manipulateWidget::combineWidgets(list = list(fig2, fig1))

The message is not present and the plot is as follows:

Any idea what is the cause of this error message ? The message seems to indicate that my implementation will not work in the future. Is there any way to avoid this ?

Thank you.
