gr.update Failed to update gr.State

[coolboyqu]

Describe the bug

It seems that the gr.State value cannot be updated through gr.update. Is there something wrong with my operation?

Reproduction

import gradio as gr

def click_btn1():
    return gr.update(value="already clicked btn1"), gr.update(value=True)


def click_btn2(click_flag):
    ret = "click_flag=False"
    if click_flag:
        ret = "already clicked btn1 and btn2"
    return gr.update(value="already clicked btn2"), gr.update(value=ret)


with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    click_flag = gr.State(False)
    btn1 = gr.Button(value="btn1")
    btn2 = gr.Button(value="btn2")
    display_area = gr.Textbox("")

    btn1.click(fn=click_btn1, inputs=None, outputs=[btn1, click_flag])
    btn2.click(fn=click_btn2, inputs=[click_flag], outputs=[btn2, display_area])

demo.launch(server_name="0.0.0.0", server_port=7860, inbrowser=True)

Indeed that is a bug, thanks for reporting @coolboyqu. For now, the workaround (which presumably you know) would be to just return True instead of gr.update(True) for the gr.State component
