Can you provide the entire code to include callbacks? Not sure how we can debug w/ just html code.

At a minimim, do you have debug set to True as indicated below?

app.run_server(debug=True)

Also, please use correct code markdown so your code is more readable.

yes I did

Please see 📣 How to provide your sample code in right format (and update your post) while I look at your code online

Based on a visual inspection of your code, it appears the error you are receiving is during the loading of the app. As the error is associated with updating the intermediate-value component, I started looking at the update_daily_view callback. Since your if-else clause dictates the contents of the df_final variable returned to intermediate-value.children, it appears an else clause is also needed. I say this because the initial value of df_final is based on the the uploaded_df parameter, which would not be populated until after some type of user-action. Thus, I suspect, the df_final.to_json call fails.

I also suggest adding sometype of error control around at the start of your callbacks, to ensure all parameters are set before the code executes. I found this quite helpful in my app development. See dash.callback_context in the FAQ

Thanks! I will go through the suggestions
Sorry for my bad format post

it is not showing any error but during the app run it give only display but with error
callback error updating intermediate value children

Your last post was confusing…“is is not showing any error” but you then say “it give only display but with error”. Is this callback error message appearing in a box in the upper right of your web browser? if so, click it and it will expand out -possibly showing you more information if no error output is dumped to your terminal window.

Yes it is giving the error with app run, and there is no inforabout the error when I click the arrow. In command window it is only giving ‘None’.
When I click the option Choose data to show it gives “Callback error updating graph-daily.figure”

ok…i think the problem will be more clear, and possible be OBE, once you add error checks in your callbacks. Also, make sure all return avenues provide valid data to your callback’s output parameters.

I have run into a similar issue. Was the problem here ever resolved? Thanks!

Traditionally for such cases, errors are handled as arguments of the callback. The first argument of the callback is usually named error, whereby if something goes wrong in the asynchronous function, then the callback gets called with the first argument which specifies what error has happened.
