That's weird, the return value of file uploader is actually never stored in Firestore. I can't test this right now because I don't have an instance of Firestore set up. Maybe this was also fixed with #3. If you see this again, please post the full error message, then I can give it a look!

When one of the widgets is a
file_uploader
and Firestore is enabled, an error is thrown atstop_tracking
complaining about something something not being a string something something. (sorry, did not save the exact error anymore, I worked around it, see below).This error does not appear when Firestore is not enabled.
I suspect this is because the return value of a file uploader is sometimes
None
and sometimes an instance of classUploadedFile
, which is not a string. That causes a problem at seralization time into Firestore.Workaround: I only call
start_tracking()
after having instanciated myfile_uploader
widget, meaning I cannot track any widget that comes before it. Sad, but the only way to make it work so far.Alternative: adding a conditional to automatically convert the value of
file_uploader
into a string (containing maybe just the filename, not the whole uploaded file).
