Bad message: o[r] is undefined floating(?) bug

Using Streamlit
,
1

Streamlit version: 1.30.0
Python3 version: 3.11.6
Browsers: Firefox 121.0.1 on Ubuntu 23.10, Chromium 121.0.6167.85 snap on Ubuntu 23.10

This code snippet used to work up until yesterday, and now pressing any of the buttons in col1 gives a “Bad message format: o[r] is undefined” (in FF) or “Bad Message Format: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘setIn’)” (in Chromium). Please help.

Edit: i probably should try modifying one pre-made form instead of recreating them every button press, but it used to work this way anyway.

Edit 2: added more info about the system.

WARNING: programmer horror ahead.

Hello @RCZ00,

Instead of calling _create_form directly within the button’s on_click , set a session state variable indicating which file was selected, and then check this state in your main application logic to determine which form to display.

def render():
    # Existing setup code...
    for source in filelist:
        if filebox.button(f"{source['savename']};{source['savetime']} ({source['filename']})"):
            st.session_state['selected_file'] = source['filename']

    if 'selected_file' in st.session_state:
        _create_form(formbox, st.session_state['selected_file'])

Thank you! That worked, but it’s a bit counterintuitive, especially with the streamlit documentation on buttons stating my way of using callbacks as valid. Can you elaborate, please, as to why the way i used wasn’t working?
