Getting error: RuntimeWarning: Unexpected end-group tag: Not all data was converted

[Vincenzo_Cacciatore]

Hi,
I am using Streamlit since a while to make some analysis on Amazon products.
What I mainly use is Pandas with some Aggrid tables and SQLite DB. There are also some tables saved on cache.

Time to time, apparently randomly, I get a warning message that brakes the web page and therefore I need to reload.

The warning is the following:

... venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/streamlit/server/server.py:754: RuntimeWarning: Unexpected end-group tag: Not all data was converted
  msg.ParseFromString(payload)
2022-02-04 10:51:39.644 No handler for "None"
[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/wire_format_lite.cc:577] String field 'WidgetState.json_value' contains invalid UTF-8 data when parsing a protocol buffer. Use the 'bytes' type if you intend to send raw bytes. 
2022-02-04 10:57:39.547 Error parsing message

I also get a message on the browser saying:

Bad message format
Unrecognized RootContainer in deltaPath:

Thanks in advance for your help… and … I really love Streamlit!

I am getting the same error for my application when running in Chrome but not using Firefox. Haven’t found a solution yet.

I’ll try Firefox too waiting for support to solve the issue in Chrome. Thanks for the hint!

@Vincenzo_Cacciatore
I’m a colleague of Simon, and we have been puzzling with this issue for a week or so.
We suspected the issue is provoked Aggrid and websocket-compression since we could not get the error if we set

server.enableWebsocketCompression = false

The new release of 1.6 disables this by default, and we no longer see this error.
Disabling websocket-compression was not recommended before, so might be better to upgrade your application to 1.6 if possible rather than just disabling it in your current version.
