[BUG] Callback with canceled update intermittently prevents later callback #1053
Description
If I make a callback chain where a final output depends on an input via multiple paths, a PreventUpdate on one of those paths can intermittently prevent the final callback from ever firing.
import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output
from dash.exceptions import PreventUpdate
app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div([
dcc.Input(id='a', value="x"),
html.Div('b', id='b'),
html.Div('c', id='c'),
html.Div(id='out')
])
@app.callback(
Output("out", "children"),
[Input("a", "value"), Input("b", "children"), Input("c", "children")]
)
def set_out(a, b, c):
print("out")
return "{}/{}/{}".format(a, b, c)
@app.callback(Output("b", "children"), [Input("a", "value")])
def set_b(a):
print("b")
raise PreventUpdate
@app.callback(Output("c", "children"), [Input("a", "value")])
def set_c(a):
print("c")
return a
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run_server(debug=True)Both on initial load and later as you type in the input box, sometimes you'll see the last line correctly concatenating the three lines before it, sometimes it lags behind. I don't notice a pattern, this happens anywhere from about a quarter to three quarters of the time.
I'll try to sort this out along with wildcards #475
