Gradio apps are not displaying properly in Google Colab notebooks (ipynb files)

[rajayourfriend]

Describe the bug

In Google Colab notebook, below is the sequence of code (very basic python application) of gradio is checked if it works !

import gradio as gr
def update(name):
    return f"Welcome to Gradio, {name}!"

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    gr.Markdown("Start typing below and then click **Run** to see the output.")
    with gr.Row():
        inp = gr.Textbox(placeholder="What is your name?")
        out = gr.Textbox()
    btn = gr.Button("Run")
    btn.click(fn=update, inputs=inp, outputs=out)

demo.launch()

Prior to this the installation of gradio is done by below code : %pip install gradio

Blocking usage of gradio

I have the same issue even when placing the requested file in the directory. https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus/issues/2817 this solution was mentioned in another repo

[rajayourfriend]

Thanks Om for the response. But I could not understand, how that other bug 2817 is related to the present problem here. Could you please tell me, about specific points towards fix / workaround ?

For example take the hello world application :

import gradio as gr

def greet(name):
    return "Hello " + name + "!"

demo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs="textbox", outputs="textbox")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch() 

This does not work properly in Google colab's ipynb Notebook. This is the problem I am facing.

[rajayourfriend]

Sorry for my hurry ! When I read through completely, got below as the workaround.

!wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
!dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

I tested and found to be working good !

Thanks a lot @omprakashnarayan

Even though above two commands of wget and dpkg are run, I get the problematic way of display as given in the beginning of this bug. Can you please suggest any solution for this please please please
