Port shiny app to jake's account

Looks like I'm having an renv issue running the shiny app. Here's the output from clicking "Run App: in app.R:

> shiny::runApp()

Sounds like you need to run the renv setup first to catch up your package library - renv::restore()

Giorgi Ghviniashvili (@giorgi-ghviniashvili) here is the shiny app URL for debugging: https://sharlagelfand.shinyapps.io/datamations/

[giorgi-ghviniashvili]

Hi Sharla Gelfand (@sharlagelfand) , I see that this function is not called at all when I click Go:

No breakpoints are hit and nothing is printed in console. Can you make sure that this function is fired and app is really initialized?

Also would be great to save app in window using window.app, but first make sure that it is really called.

[sharlagelfand]

thanks Giorgi Ghviniashvili (@giorgi-ghviniashvili) - that's the issue I was seeing, that the JS code is not called at all in the deployed version. It works fine locally but somehow the function is never called when deployed. Thanks for confirming! Will see if I can debug any more today, or at least roll back to a version where it was working.

[sharlagelfand]

Not having any luck deploying earlier versions either, unfortunately (cc Jake Hofman (@jhofman)) - even versions from the summer! Wondering if something is up with shinyapps.io

[jhofman]

That's super strange!

I can confirm that it works fine locally for me as well.

Do you think it's worth trying to get a simple reprex of this that we could post on the Shinyapps support form?

[sharlagelfand]

I have a repo here with a minimal example that I can't get deployed at all - curious if you can Jake Hofman (@jhofman), or if not could be a good candidate for debugging the deployment, then using as a minimal example for posting.

[jhofman]

interestingly it now looks like https://sharlagelfand.shinyapps.io/datamations/ is mostly working, but it generates a NULL legend for the default datamation that shouldn't be there. (unclear to me which version of datamations is actually pushed to sharla's shiny app account.)

this legend issue might be fixed in the gemini2 branch, but there's something else broken in the shiny app on that branch. (undefined type in spec.sequence.length and source.sequence.length).

Giorgi Ghviniashvili (@giorgi-ghviniashvili) will run the shiny app locally in the gemini2 branch and debug these console error messages.

once we get that done we can push the shiny app to my account.

p.s. for future reference, we had to update the htmlwidgets yaml file to include custom-animation.

Jake Hofman (@jhofman) managed to run the app, but now getting this error. Do you have any idea what error it is?

"Invalid First Argument"

[jhofman]

i'm able to run the shiny app on both the main branch (commit 06aa36) and the gemini2 branch (commit 76d6b05).

Giorgi Ghviniashvili (@giorgi-ghviniashvili): can you try to debug and see what fittings[[1]] is set to when that breaks?
