I just upgraded to 0.39 (from 0.38rc1) and I’m getting an exception when the site tries to load:

Figured out the issue, in case others run into it as well:
Looks like the default app_index string was modified to now include {%renderer%} in the section. Since I was manually setting the index string in my application, the change in the default string was not reflected in my overridden index string therefore causing the exception of “Missing element”.

Awesome ! Thanks for the multiple outputs and the loading component!! It will be very hepful !! Very Good, great work ! :grinning:

Thanks zoohair - just hit the same issue. To make things a bit more explicit, the default app.index_string is now:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        {%metas%}
        <title>{%title%}</title>
        {%favicon%}
        {%css%}
    </head>
    <body>
        {%app_entry%}
        <footer>
            {%config%}
            {%scripts%}
            {%renderer%}
        </footer>
    </body>
</html>

These are great new features (multi output, loading component)! Dash is awesome!

is there a fixed schedule to update the conda-forge ?

thanks @zoohair . You solve my problem.
In my case. I have customed Dash class and override interpolate_index

I should lock the version of Dash now. Thanks again.

Hi Rob,

Is app.index_string necessary to add a favicon? I’m including a favicon.ico in my assets folder at root, but nothing is showing up in my web browser tab, although the default plotly icon is removed.

Hi @alexrjohnson,

No doubt you’ve already figured it out by now - sorry for taking so long to see this. But for me, our favicons disappeared at some point when we moved to a new version of Dash. To fix it, we ended up with what’s shown below. I’m afraid I can’t remember many more details about it anymore. The below works with dash v39 (excuse some of my application specific code included in the snippet below):

app = dash.Dash(__name__, static_folder='static')
app.config.suppress_callback_exceptions = True

html_head_title = get_config().get('frontend', 'html_head_title', fallback='TRM Dashboard')
stylesheet_href = get_config().get('frontend', 'stylesheet_href', fallback='/assets/dashboard_prod.css')

app.index_string = f'''
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        {{%metas%}}
        <title>{html_head_title}</title>
        <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/static/favicon.png">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{stylesheet_href}">
    </head>
    <body>
        {{%app_entry%}}
        <footer>
            {{%config%}}
            {{%scripts%}}
            {{%renderer%}}
        </footer>
    </body>
</html>
'''

Cheers,
Rob
