Running Dash App with debug false

Dash Python
1

I am new with dash I am developing a multipage app. In one of the pages I have a Dropdown and Datepicker connected to a table and everytime I am selecting something a new tab in the browser is opened with the updated table. I assume that this behaviour is related to the debug mode.
I would like to show development of the app to my team without the app always refreshing and opening a new tab. Therefore I am trying to run the app with the debug= false but if I try to do so I get the following message:

Dash is running on http://127.0.0.1:8050/

Someone already experienced something similar?

Hi @statoconfusionale, it seems a couple funny things are going on. Normally debug mode shouldn’t cause things to open in new tabs. Also I cannot reproduce the error you have posted. Could you post a more complete example, so that maybe I could reproduce the error? Also be sure you are using the latest version of Dash. Thanks!

Ok so, first of all, I did not have the last version of Dash. So I updated it to the latest one. Then I realized that while returning the figure layout for the table graph I had an extra figure.show() that was creating the problem of opening a new tab. So that’s actually solved now it works flawlessly with debug= True

  figure = go.Figure(data=[go.Table(
    header=dict(values=list(dff.columns),
                fill_color='#F0ECE4',
                align='center'),
                
    cells=dict(values=[dff.vin, dff.mileage, dff.timestamp, dff.vehicle_licenseplate,dff.hub_name],
               fill_color='#FFFFFF',
               align='center'))
        ])
    
    figure.update_layout(
        paper_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)',
        plot_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)')
    #figure.show()
    return figure

Now even If don’t currently need it, if I try to set debug = false I still get the same error and can’t run the app
