dtale.show() error without data

[wonb168]

import dtale
dtale.show(open_browser=True)

then got an error in browser:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/mac/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/dtale/views.py", line 119, in _handle_exceptions return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/mac/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/dtale/views.py", line 2875, in get_data curr_dtypes = [c["name"] for c in global_state.get_dtypes(data_id)] TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

why? thanks

You have not added any data to the dtale instance, and you can not do that. It is expected behavior

import dtale
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([dict(a=1,b=2,c=3)])

# Assigning a reference to a running D-Tale process.
d = dtale.show(df)

So @FedererKK it actually can be started without loading any data. If you do that it should prompt you with a popup to upload some data using the UI (as shown here)

@wonb168 I will look into this and get back to you

Very interesting and simple UX, I must have missed that :-)

@wonb168 just released v3.9.0 to pypi (will be on conda-forge shortly) with this fix
