I am unable to plot an interactive map in colab
A workaround (static image) is in the second cell.
I expect an answer in r-leaflet.

I came with this answer/workaround - third cell in colab
if (system.file(package = "leaflet") == '') {
install.packages("leaflet")
}
if (system.file(package = "htmlwidgets") == '') {
install.packages("htmlwidgets")
}
if (system.file(package = "IRdisplay") == '') {
install.packages("IRdisplay")
}
library(leaflet)
library(htmlwidgets)
library(IRdisplay)
m = leaflet() %>%
#addTiles()
addTiles(urlTemplate = "http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png") # colab compatibility
saveWidget(m, 'demo1.html', selfcontained = TRUE)
IaminColab<-TRUE
if(IaminColab){ # does not work in jupyter
demo<-readLines("demo1.html")
demo<-gsub("%","%25",demo)
demo<-gsub("#","%23",demo)
demo<-gsub("\"","%22",demo)
demo<-gsub("'" ,"%27",demo)
demo<-gsub("\\n" ,"",demo)
demo<-paste(demo, collapse="")
display_html(paste0('<iframe src=',"\"data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,",demo," \" height=\"300\" width=\"500\"></iframe>") )
} else { # does not work in colab
display_html('<iframe src="demo1.html" width="500" height ="300"></iframe>')
}
