app will deploy but not parse

shiny
,
1

In hopes of helping others, please note that commenting out a multi-byte character (ex. ñ) will make parsing fail, even if deployment to shinyappsio is successful. Just remove them completely from app.R before deploying.

The following logs were based on this code.

r
library(shiny)

# unusedV <- c('Cañada College', 67)    # with a multi-byte char

FPg <- fluidPage(  
  titlePanel("to recreate the error: deployed but not parsed"),
  fluidRow( column(12,               # one column
    sliderInput(inputId ='n', label ='how many random numbers?', 
                              1, 3, value = 1, step = 1), 
    textOutput( outputId = 'ShowIt')  ) )
  )
Svr <- function(input, output) {
  output$ShowIt <- renderPrint({ cat('I got ', runif(input$n) ) })
  }                                  # uniform distrib. each from 0 to 1
shinyApp(ui = FPg, server = Svr)

Hi @mfh, as suggested in here, I think setting options(encoding = "UTF-8") before calling deployApp() fixes this issue (please mark this as the solution if it does)
