Streamlit RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'ScriptRunner.scriptThread'

Using Streamlit
1

Summary

I ran my code using anaconda and it actually opened the browser and just showed “please wait” and said " [TypeError: Protocols cannot be instantiated" . Then I updated my python from 3.9.7 to 3.9.12. And the browser showed “RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread ‘ScriptRunner.scriptThread’.”

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

#anaconda

2022-10-26 13:22:20.427 INFO    numexpr.utils: Note: NumExpr detected 16 cores but "NUMEXPR_MAX_THREADS" not set, so enforcing safe limit of 8.
2022-10-26 13:22:20.427 INFO    numexpr.utils: NumExpr defaulting to 8 threads.

Expected behavior:

Open and browser and show my app

Actual behavior:

Open the browser and throws a RuntimeError

What is the file name and contents of the actual app you are trying to launch? The terminal snippet looks like it’s trying to prompt you how to run a streamlit app (streamlit run app_name.py), but it’s filling it in with the ipykernel_launcher.py file buried in the environment files.

Whatever streamlit code you wrote up, if you saved it in a file called app_name.py, then you would want to

  1. Launch your environment terminal
  2. Change directory (cd) to where you have your file saved
  3. Use streamlit run app_name.py to start it up

If that’s what you did, then a little more clarity on what you are trying to run would be helpful.

  You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

I tried what your suggestion but it didn’t work. I did the same thing on my mac and it worked well.

Do you mean it works on Mac but not on Windows? Or did you mean it didn’t work also. (Just to be sure I’m understanding you here.)

Can you provide the code of the app you are trying to launch? I am seeing your terminal execute the streamlit run command and report back that it launched the app. Did your default browser open? Is there an error message there? If not, can you navigate to localhost:8501 after running streamlit run Visualization.py to see what is displaying. Streamlit reports error messages within the app that can be more helpful than what is displaying in your terminal.
