Describe the bug
When registering a pattern-matching callback, no warning is issued if the pattern does not match the ID of any of the DOM elements.
For example if we create a button with an ID like this:
id={
"type": "delete-list-item",
"deletion-target": "some_path",
"extras": "..."
}
and then define a callback that only defines 2/3 of the keys present in the id dict:
@app.callback(
Input(
{"type": "delete-list-item", "deletion-target": "some_path", }, "n_clicks"
),
)
def delete_list_item(n_clicks):
print(n_clicks)
The callback does not get attached to any element but does show up on the dev tools page.
Expected behavior
Under the default conditions (app.config.suppress_callback_exceptions = False), a warning should be emitted when no matching ids are found.
