Description

According to docs, Parameter file_count of File component must be one of them(single, multiple, directory). But I put other integer value(ex. file_count=0) in the parameter by mistake, below error occurs.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/zedd.ai/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/envs/gradio-pr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gradio/queueing.py", line 532, in process_events

TypeError: gradio.data_classes.FileData() argument after ** must be a mapping, not list

The error confused me because the message of error doesn't tell me the reason why the error occurs. So, I debugged above traceback error and followed the objects of all funcions in the stdout error. Finally, I found my mistake of putting the integer value in file_count parameter of File component. my error code is below.

import gradio as gr
import pandas as pd

from gradio.themes.base import Base

def preprocess_file(file) -> str:
    df = pd.read_csv(file.name)

    column = df.columns[0]
    print("file:", type(file), type(file.name))
    print("df:", type(df))
    return column


class Seafoam(Base):
    pass


with gr.Blocks(theme=Seafoam(), title="TEST") as demo:
    gr.Markdown("""
    # TEST
    """)
    with gr.Tab("TEST"):
        file_output = gr.File(file_count=1, file_types=["csv"])   # it causes error
        upload_button = gr.Button(value="submit button")

    opt = gr.Textbox()
    upload_button.click(
        fn=preprocess_file,
        inputs=file_output,
        outputs=opt
    )

demo.launch(debug=True)

Of course, according to official docs, there is a content about type of the parameter. But, if the validation logic exists in the parameter, I should have found the reason of error earlier. So, for like me, I append validation logic of the parameter in this PR

🎯 PRs Should Target Issues

According to the list of issue, I can't find the issue about this parameter of File component now
