Unable to use Upload Component

I am using the Upload Component, when I use only one callback to update a Div it works but when I add another callback to update a Graph component it doesn’t work. Even the earlier working Div update stops working. Please help me out.

app.layout = html.Div([
	html.Div([
		    dcc.Upload(
        id='upload-data',
        children=html.Div([
            'Drag and Drop or ',
            html.A('Select Files')
        ]),
        style={
            'width': '100%',
            'height': '60px',
            'lineHeight': '60px',
            'borderWidth': '1px',
            'borderStyle': 'dashed',
            'borderRadius': '5px',
            'textAlign': 'center',
            'margin': '10px'
        },
        # Allow multiple files to be uploaded
        multiple=False
    ),
	]),
	html.H1(id='output'),
	html.Div([
		dcc.Graph(id='graph1')])
	])
def parse_contents(list_of_contents,filename):
	content_type, content_string = str(list_of_contents).split(',')
	decoded = base64.b64decode(content_string)
	try:
		if 'csv' in filename:
			df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(decoded.decode('utf-8')))
			print('File loaded Successfully')
			return df 
		elif 'xls' in filename:
			df = pd.read_excel(io.BytesIO(decoded))
			print('File Loaded Successfully')
			return df
	except Exception as e:
		print(e)
@app.callback(Output('output','children'),
              [Input('upload-data', 'contents'),
               Input('upload-data', 'filename'),
               Input('upload-data', 'last_modified')])
def update_data(list_of_contents, list_of_names, list_of_dates):
	if list_of_names is not None:
		print('Initiated')
		dataframe = parse_contents(list_of_contents,list_of_names)
		tweets_per_day = dataframe.groupby('created_at').count()
		return str(tweets_per_day)
if __name__ == '__main__':
	app.run_server()'

The above code works, whereas the below code fails to do anything,

I am having exactly the same issue and it looks like it has been there for quite a while - or simply me and @sharmaji don’t understand something. I can use Upload component as described in the manual but it fails silently when I try to output to Graph. @chriddyp Do you think you could have a look at this?

Below is a reproducible example. If you comment out update_figure, the code will work. Otherwise all events get unsubscribed.

Please help…

I face the same issue, it works fine when there is just one callback associated, but stops working when I add a graph div. Has this been resolved?

Was this resolved? I am using the dcc.Upload component and it fails silently when I attempt to upload csv or excel file.
