I have a small bokeh server app (for tracking corona). For some reason it stopped working. It serves the html, but not showing the plot. I see this error in console:

```
Error rendering Bokeh model: could not find #b26ccc29-9adb-4974-94bc-2f687811393d HTML tag

```

I didn’t find a way to fix it  
The code is here:

> **[GitHub - hershkoy/corona\_report: An interactive corona virus country...](https://github.com/hershkoy/corona_report)**
>
> An interactive corona virus country comparator written in python - GitHub - hershkoy/corona\_report: An interactive corona virus country comparator written in python

I tried setting log level to debug, but I am not getting any new info.

Any idea what I can do?  
Please help, it is for a good cause 🙂

You have to embed all of the roots that you add to the document with `add_root`. Don’t forget to specify the `name` of the root models.

The `name` **must** be specified here: [corona\_report/main.py at master · hershkoy/corona\_report · GitHub](https://github.com/hershkoy/corona_report/blob/master/corona_report/main.py#L44)  
The same name **must** be used here and the element **must** end up in the DOM tree: [corona\_report/index.html at master · hershkoy/corona\_report · GitHub](https://github.com/hershkoy/corona_report/blob/master/corona_report/templates/index.html#L59)
