Superset Fresh Install or Upgrade results in TypeError

[srinisubramanian]

I have tried both upgrading from Superset 1.5 and installing Superset 2.0 in a separate pyenv. Both result in the same issue : TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'unbound_message'

How to reproduce the bug

1. I followed the https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/installing-superset-from-scratch guide to setup 1.5 a few months ago and followed the same to setup 2.0. I also tried upgrading using https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/upgrading-superset
2. Unable to run superset
3. Stack trace

We have started seeing the same issue in our docker builds this morning.

[srinisubramanian]

Strange thing is I tried this on another similar system and it upgraded and ran without errors. However on 2 other identical systems I have this issue and its right now a blocker wherein on two landscapes we are on 2.0 and the main servers are still stuck on 1.5

@villebro @srinify Any guidance appreciated

[srinisubramanian]

OK, this is strange. When I installed I just used "pip install apache-superset". The output of the superset --version command displays the following:

(superset2) [xxxxxxx ~]$ superset --version
Loaded your LOCAL configuration at [/home/xxxxxx/.superset/superset_config.py]
Python 3.9.11
Flask 2.2.0
Werkzeug 2.2.1

The requirements.txt points to Flask 2.0.3 and on a hunch I did a pip uninstall Flask and pip install flask==2.0.3. Also werkzeug==2.0.3 and jinja2==3.0.1

It now starts working. Wondering why pip install apache-superset installed newer versions of flask etc?

[judithbachmann-ah]

Thanks @srinisubramanian installing lower versions of flask and jijna fixed this issue for me.

Pinning just Flask to 2.1.3 solved this for us.

[srinisubramanian]

Pinning just Flask to 2.1.3 solved this for us.

2.1.3 didn't work for me. Had to set it to 2.0.3. But yes the Flask version is the issue.

2.1.3 didn't work for me. Had to set it to 2.0.3. But yes the Flask version is the issue.

I would double-check that, as it seems to have been the 2.2.0 release that (removed deprecated code and hence) broke Superset for us at least.

[Usiel]

Flask==2.1.3 with Werkzeug==2.0.3 (which is compatible) works for me. Bumping Werkzeug to anything >2.0.3 leads to the same error message again.

I'm also trying to Setup Fresh Superset. But I'm getting this error. Please help.

[srinisubramanian]

Check your Werkzeug and jinja2 version wrt working version mentioned above

[afifdevtest]

@srinisubramanian I had same issue with this #20967 And also just follow your resolution, but after run superset db upgrade, I got new error :

Is there something I missed ?

Environment

• superset version 2.0
• python version 3.8.10

[hsoekiswo]

Try install WTForms.

pip install WTForms==2.3.3

[AkashKit]

@afifdevtest It took me some time to get all the required versions. So just follow these steps. You will be good to go.

Supersets require only perticular version of some python libraries.

First run this command >>pip list

Some main packages to remember (flask==2.0.3, werkzeug==2.0.3 and jinja2==3.0.1);

install them with this command (pip install flask==2.0.3, pip install werkzeug==2.0.3, pip install jinja2==3.0.1)

also install some additional packages with specific version. pip install Flask-WTF==0.14.3 pip install pyOpenSSL pip install pySocks==1.5.6 pip install markupsafe==2.0.1 pip install pillow pip install flask-caching==1.10.0

Now run >>superset db upgrade

[arbor03]

Try install WTForms.

pip install WTForms==2.3.3

Installing the WTForms worked, but i wonder why!!! cool!!

[Yaswanth-Perumalla]

flask==2.0.3.,werkzeug==2.0.3, jinja2==3.0.1 and WTForms==2.3.3 worked for me.

[rusackas]

Since we're now on 3.1, on the verge of 4.0, we're not supporting 2.x or prior versions actively. If anyone is experiencing this issue in current versions, please file a new issue with updated context and repro steps. Thank you for understanding :)
