Dynamic update not working in turbo-flask 0.8.1?

[andyengria]

When following your blog post / guide on Dynamically Update Your Flask Web Pages Using Turbo-Flask I found the dynamic update is not working with turbo-flask 0.8.1 and the example code. It does work with 0.8.0. Is this due to a bug in 0.8.1 or has the method of making dynamic updates work changed?

Looks like the CDN that hosts the Turbo JavaScript code is having an issue with the latest version: https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/issues/735. The 0.8.0 release works fine because that loads an older version of turbo.js.

I'll keep an eye on this issue and if they don't fix it I'll move to another CDN.

I was also noticing this. The load example, and my own code based on it, was working a few weeks ago, but not anymore.

How do we specify to use the older version? Uninstall turbo-flask with pip and reinstall with a specific version number ? Modify one of the .py or .html files ?

[brianm-sra]

Or do we need to wait for the CDN issue to be resolved ?

You can run pip install turbo-flask==0.8.0 to force this version to be installed. If any other version are already installed, it will be removed first.

Yes, that worked for me. Thank you. With 0.8.0 the dynamic updates happen in the browser.

It seems like the CDN url is wrong.

https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/@hotwired/turbo@v7.2.2-RBjb2wnkmosSQVoP27jT/min/@hotwired/turbo.js https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/@hotwired/turbo@v7.2.0-RBjb2wnkmosSQVoP27jT/min/@hotwired/turbo.js

are working.

https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/@hotwired/turbo@v7.2.0-jLjGyoEW3JseSmRfJh2M/min/@hotwired/turbo.js

Is not (which is in 0.8.1)

See https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/turbo-flask/pull/41

The URL isn't wrong, they have just released a new version on top of the broken one. In any case, 0.8.2 is now released with this fix. Thanks!

Jep, now it should work again with the 0.8.1 version I guess.
