[BUG] ylims!() not working for certain plots

[kaiwizz]

Details

I ran into this issue while creating a certain plot. pgfplotsx() backend successfully generates the initial plot, but when I try to adjust the x and y axis, it gives me an error. This is an example that also shows the same error.

using Plots

pgfplotsx()
scatter(x-> 1e-3/(x-3), 1, 10000)
ylims!(-0.00025,0.00025)

gr()
scatter(x-> 1e-3/(x-3), 1, 10000)
ylims!(-0.00025,0.00025)

the gr() backend can change the y axis but pgfplotsx() does not.

Seems like a Plots.jl issue? Or do you have a pure PGFPlotsX.jl reproducer?

I guess you are right,

using PGFPlotsX

x = range(1, 10000, length = 500) 
@pgf Axis(
    {
        xmajorgrids,
        ymajorgrids,
        ymin= -0.00025,
        ymax = 0.00025
    },
    Plot(
        {
            no_marks,
        },
        Coordinates(x, @. (1e-3) / (x-3))
    )
)

This works as expected.
