Summary

  • Fixes Interactivity of Tab could not be updated to True #13033: When a Tab is initialized with interactive=False, updating it to interactive=True via an event handler had no effect on the UI
  • Root cause: In Tabs.svelte, the register_tab callback mutates the tabs array via tabs[order] = tab inside a closure. Svelte's compiler does not instrument array element assignments inside closures for reactivity, so the tab buttons never re-render with the updated interactive/disabled state
  • Fix: Added tabs = tabs self-assignment after mutation in both register_tab and unregister_tab to force Svelte reactivity. This is the standard Svelte pattern for triggering updates after array/object mutation

Test plan

  • Added Python test test_tab_interactive_update verifying the update payload is correctly produced when toggling Tab interactive between True and False
  • Manual test: create a demo with interactive=False Tab, click button to set interactive=True, verify the tab becomes clickable without needing a visibility toggle workaround

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

In Svelte, mutating an array element inside a closure (tabs[order] = tab)
does not trigger reactivity. Adding `tabs = tabs` after mutation forces
Svelte to recognize the change and re-render tab buttons with updated
interactive/disabled state.

Fixes gradio-app#13033

Hi @joaquinhuigomez ! This does not fix the issue (i took the time to do this myself) also the test you had claude write would not properly test the frontend. If you expect others to take the time to review your work the least you could do is take some time to look it over and test it yourself. smh
