Failed convertion ggtree into plotly

[yoelii]

Hello,

I try to convert my tree, previoulsy made in ggtree into a plotly tree but label and color disapear after conversion.

Test code :

library(ggimage)
library(ggtree)
library(TDbook)

# load `tree_boots`, `df_tip_data`, and `df_inode_data` from 'TDbook'
p <- ggtree(tree_boots) %<+% df_tip_data + xlim(-.1, 4)
p2 <- p + geom_tiplab(offset = .6, hjust = .5) +
  geom_tippoint(aes(shape = trophic_habit, color = trophic_habit, 
                    size = mass_in_kg)) + 
  theme(legend.position = "right") + 
  scale_size_continuous(range = c(3, 10))

my_plotly <- ggplotly(p2)

output R terminal :

my_plotly <- ggplotly(p2)

I ran into similar problems when I tried to convert a plot generated by ggtree. The problem appears to be that geom_tiplab and geom_tippoint are technically not the same as ggplot's geom_point and geom_text and conversion of those fails for that reason. This, and the fact that some layouts can not be converted to plotly at all made me use ggiraph to add interactivity to a ggtree plot. It works very well.
