Cytoscape height canvas fixed to 0 - css

Question

I'm using cytoscape.js and when I try to initialize it, I found the canvas height to 0. I don't understand why.
This is my js :
var cy = cytoscape({container: document.getElementById("mapping")});
cy.add([
{group: "nodes", data: {id: "n0"}, position: {x:0, y:0}},
{group: "nodes", data: {id: "n1"}, position: {x:100, y:50}},
{group: "edges", data: {id: "e0", source: "n0", target: "n1"}}
]);
console.log(cy.container());
Here is the jsfiddle where you can see the "height":0px in log and nothing in rendered.

If you initialize cytoscape with static data, consider doing it like the documentation shows:
var cy = cytoscape({
container: document.getElementById('cy'), // container to render in
elements: [ // list of graph elements to start with
{ // node a
data: { id: 'a' }
},
{ // node b
data: { id: 'b' }
},
{ // edge ab
data: { id: 'ab', source: 'a', target: 'b' }
}
],
style: [ // the stylesheet for the graph
{
selector: 'node',
style: {
'background-color': '#666',
'label': 'data(id)'
}
},
{
selector: 'edge',
style: {
'width': 3,
'line-color': '#ccc',
'target-arrow-color': '#ccc',
'target-arrow-shape': 'triangle'
}
}
],
layout: { /!!!
name: 'grid',
rows: 1
}
});
you dont specify a layout in your sample code, i rarely do it like that, i simply add the nodes/edges and call the layout algorithm i want, the rest of your code seems ok, did you include all scripts and css files for cytoscape?
