Plotly marker size

Question

I am having trouble getting the plotly marker size to work correctly.

test <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3,5,3,4,2,6,4,5),
                   b = c(12,14,11,10,3,7,5,8,15,2),
                   c = c("d","e","d","f","e","d","f","e","e","f"),
                   d = c(5,5,10,15,10,15,5,10,5,15))

plot_ly()%>%
add_trace(data = test, x = ~a, y = ~b, mode = 'markers', type = 'scatter',
          color = ~c, colors = c("red", "blue", "green"),
          marker = list(size = ~d), text = ~d, hoverinfo = 'text')

I added a text box with the column that is supposed to be used as the marker size and it works correctly, so any help with what is going wrong with the size would be appreciated.

Hope this helps, where sizes are defined by d :

test <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3,5,3,4,2,6,4,5),
                   b = c(12,14,11,10,3,7,5,8,15,2),
                   c = c("d","e","d","f","e","d","f","e","e","f"),
                   d = c(5,5,10,15,10,15,5,10,5,15))
plot_ly()%>%
  add_trace(data = test, x = ~a, y = ~b, mode = 'markers', type = 'scatter',
            color = ~c, colors = c("red", "blue", "green"),
            size = ~d, text = ~d, hoverinfo = 'text')
