AttributeError: 'google.protobuf.pyext._message.RepeatedScalarConta' object has no attribute 'uploaded_file_info'

Using Streamlit
1

Hello, I just upgraded to streamlit version 0.88.0 from 0.85.1 and get the following attribute error on my 0.85.1 working project:

AttributeError: ‘google.protobuf.pyext._message.RepeatedScalarConta’ object has no attribute ‘uploaded_file_info’

On a whim, I pip install -U protobuf==3.8.0 but after streamlit run main.py I get:

AttributeError: module ‘google.protobuf.descriptor’ has no attribute ‘_internal_create_key’

Thus, I’ve pip install -U protobuf==3.18.0 back which goes back to the original attribute error.

Hi @comgeek, could you try seeing if the bug persists after the streamlit server is restarted and a new tab is opened to load the app?

As described in the GitHub issue for this particular bug (streamlit 0.88.0 upload button · Issue #3764 · streamlit/streamlit · GitHub), this happens when there’s a mismatch between the streamlit versions running on the frontend and server. I’m not sure why the code to refresh the page in this scenario didn’t work, but this bug should go away once the backend and frontend have versions that are in sync.

This worked, thank you!
