Error Loading Layout after core-components 0.22.1 and ngrok

I am getting thrown an Error Loading Layout error when using Dash version >= 0.22.1 and deploying test app with ngrok. Pre-0.22.1, it worked fine, code below. Need the update as Candlesticks are broken in version < 0.22. I will replace the SQL query with a dataframe when I can.

Of note, I have isolated to 0.22.1 of dash-core-components, graph works with dash==0.21.1, dash-renderer==0.12.1, dash-html-components==0.10.1, with dash-core-components==0.22.0, but not dash-core-components==0.22.1 in plotly==2.6.0

Never mind, turns out it had nothing to do with the part I showed, it was something to do with how core-components was creating the html. Fixed the layout and now its working.

do you mind sharing how this is fixed? I have the same problem (working in 0.22.0 but not 0.22.1)

Answering my own question here in case anyone encounters the same problem (or this can be handled by dash?)

What was causing the problem is that since 0.22.1 every figure dict has to have a ‘data’ key to function correctly (just adding data=dict() ) is sufficient.

The cause seems to be this code that was introduced since 0.22.1:

+            if (intersection(
+                pluck('type', figure.data),
+                ['candlestick', 'ohlc']).length
+            ) {
+                PlotMethod = Plotly.newPlot;
+            } else {
+                PlotMethod = Plotly.react;
+            }

Thanks for looking into this @jzh! Just made an issue about this here: Ability to supply `figure` without `data` · Issue #223 · plotly/dash-core-components · GitHub
