Hi, first shiny app which I am trying to load onto shinyapp.io server.

I had problems with my own app but have the same problem with the old faithful geyser template.

When I try run deployApp(), then it gives me the following error:

deployApp()
Preparing to deploy application...DONE
Uploading bundle for application: 8122435...Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- 'kable'
In addition: Warning message:
In FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
  Package 'kable' not available in repository or locally

Trying:

install.packages('kable')
Installing package into ‘/Users/brianbrummer/Library/R/x86_64/4.2/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘kable’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

For me, this doesn't make sense, since kable isn't even a package? I have tried loading kableExtra, Knitr, I have tried loading kable on older versions of R but without success.

Any suggestions?

the error on deployApp that you quoted here; thats on the old faithful geyser template; without any modifications ?

no modifications, simply adding setAccountInfo() and then deployApp()

Hi, i started a new project in a new file and it looks like they geyser data went through fine.

I guess I should be more careful. I will start a new project and see if my own app will run aswell now.

Thanks for indulging me so far

Does your app (or any sourced .R scripts that may be called) contain"library(kable)" or "kable::"? Sourced scripts can sometimes hide errors like these, so just thought I'd ask.

Thanks for the pointer, I am sure some Rmakrdowns have kable:: in them. I'll have to go through...for now, I am atleast moving again...
