Hello,

I run the below code in PyCharm and get:
TypeError: Object of type type is not JSON serializable

When I run from the command line I get:
TypeError: Object of type ‘type’ is not JSON serializable

(anonymized stack trace below code)

# de_minimis.py
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.models import CustomJS, Toggle
from bokeh.io import show
from bokeh.models.layouts import Row

p = figure(plot_height=800, plot_width=1000, title="Metric",
               toolbar_location=None, tools="", sizing_mode='fixed')

controls_choice_show_toggle = Toggle(visible=True, name='controls_choice_show_toggle', tags=['Show_Toggle'], button_type='success', label='Show Control Options', disabled=False)

unified_callback = CustomJS(
        args=dict(filter=filter, p=p,
                  controls_choice_show_toggle=controls_choice_show_toggle
                  ), code=''' ''')

controls_choice_show_toggle.js_on_change('value', unified_callback)
show(Row(controls_choice_show_toggle, p))

Process finished with exit code 1

Note: in my full application I get the same error, but not a “missing renderers” warning.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a guide I can refer to for converting my code from the “Soon to be deprecated” to the “We really deprecated it now, get at it!” ?

Thank you for your time.

Hi @Kyle_Marcroft

Your anonymized code includes the following statement

unified_callback = CustomJS(
        args=dict(filter=filter, p=p,
                  controls_choice_show_toggle=controls_choice_show_toggle
                  ), code=''' ''')

However, there is no quantity filter defined. Moreover, filter is a built-in function in Python 3, which is the source of the error you are seeing, I believe. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html

I hope this helps.

At one point I had been using filters to control what is displayed in a DataTable. Removing the assignment fixed the cryptic error. Thank you!
