BUG-ConfigurationUpdateBlocked should explain what it means and how to fix

[AlexandreSajus]

Description ConfigurationUpdateBlocked is an error that happens often and it should explain what it means and how to fix it

How to reproduce

1. In notebooks: Loading a scenario and then reloading it results in ConfigurationUpdateBlocked. To fix it: restart the kernel

2. In scripts: I'm not sure when it happens, it seems to be when modifying the config then re-running it but I haven't found a reproducible way. To fix it: delete .data

Runtime environment Please specify relevant indications.

• Taipy version: taipy 2.2.0
• OS: Windows

Hi @AlexandreSajus, the ConfigurationUpdateBlocked is because after running the Core service, any update to the configuration is blocked. This was stated in Core service doc, and maybe somewhere else too 😅

The simplest fix is to stop the Core service with core.stop(), then you can update the Configuration normally.

However, I agree that there should be some explanation when ConfigurationUpdateBlocked happens.

Can you propose an error message that you and maybe other users would comfortable with?

Hi! Yeah, sure, I'm thinking of something like: "ConfigurationUpdateBlocked: config service should be stopped by running core.stop() before modifying it. For more information, please refer to: https://docs.taipy.io/en/latest/manuals/running_services/#running-core."
