Plotly Dash | Remove minor ticks

Question

Goal: Run example code and run example with and without minor ticks.

Plotly documentation has example code of a graph with minor ticks. Running the code fails.

import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

df = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(df, x="total_bill", y="tip", color="sex")


fig.update_xaxes(minor=dict(ticklen=6, tickcolor="black", showgrid=True))
fig.update_yaxes(minor_ticks="inside")

fig.show()

Source - "Adding minor ticks"

Error:

Did you mean "mirror"?

Bad property path:
minor

Remove all minor ticks:

fig.update_xaxes(dtick=1)
fig.update_yaxes(dtick=1)

However, this doesn't solve the documentation's code snippet.
