### Overview
Fixed bugs in the UI progress callback mechanism for report generation.
Fixed bugs in the UI progress callback mechanism for report generation and consolidated redundant progress indicators.
### Key Activities
1. Identified and fixed an AttributeError in the report generation progress callback:
@ -16,15 +16,23 @@ Fixed bugs in the UI progress callback mechanism for report generation.
- Identified that the progress indicator wasn't updating in real-time despite fixing the AttributeError
- Implemented a solution using Gradio's built-in progress tracking mechanism
- Added `progress(current_progress, desc=status_message)` to leverage Gradio's internal update mechanisms
- Maintained direct value assignments to custom UI elements for redundancy
- Tested the solution to confirm progress indicators now update properly during report generation
3. Consolidated redundant progress indicators in the UI:
- Identified three separate progress indicators in the UI (Progress Status textbox, progress slider, and built-in Gradio progress bar)
- Removed the redundant Progress Status textbox and progress slider components
- Simplified the UI to use only Gradio's built-in progress tracking mechanism
- Updated the progress callback to work exclusively with the built-in progress mechanism
- Tested the changes to ensure a cleaner, more consistent user experience
### Insights
- Gradio Textbox and Slider components use direct value assignment for updates rather than an update method
- Asynchronous operations in Gradio require special handling to ensure UI elements update in real-time
- Using Gradio's built-in progress tracking mechanism is more effective than manual UI updates for async tasks
- The progress callback mechanism is critical for providing user feedback during long-running report generation tasks
- Proper error handling in UI callbacks is essential for a smooth user experience
- Simplifying the UI by removing redundant progress indicators improves user experience and reduces confusion
- Consolidating to a single progress indicator ensures consistent feedback and reduces code complexity
