Applying ggplotly() on geom_bar with factors

I running into a problem with plotly right now. I'm translating ggplot2 graphs into interactive graphs. Here is an example code:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)

x <- sample(x = c(1,2), size = 100, replace = TRUE)
y <- sample(x = c(3,4), size = 100, replace = TRUE)


df <- data.frame(x, y)

df <- transform(df,
                x = ifelse(x == 1,"cat","dog"),
                y = ifelse(y == 3, "young","old")
                )

p <- ggplot(df, aes(x= x, fill = y)) +
  geom_bar(position = "stack") +
  coord_flip() +
  theme(legend.position="none")

ggplotly(p)

I would expect the ggplotly function to create an interactive version but it seems that it's not able to handle factor counts.

ggplot result:

plotly translation:

Any suggestions to solve the issue are welcome!

Your code works fine for me. – SBista Jun 09 '17 at 10:43
@SBista Which versions are you using? My ggplot2 is 2.2.1 & plotly 4.7.0. Any difference to yours? – Paavo Pohndorff Jun 09 '17 at 11:08
My ggplot2 is 2.1.1.9000 and plotly version is same as yours. – SBista Jun 09 '17 at 11:19
code works fine for me as well – Adam Spannbauer Jun 09 '17 at 11:49
I had the same result on your example when I updated to ploty 4.7.0. When I used `ggplotly`, though, I got a message telling me to use the development version of ggplot2. Once I updated to that, `ggplotly` worked again on your example. – aosmith Jun 09 '17 at 17:42
