Similar to this previous unanswered question: downloadBttn downloading download.htm - shiny - RStudio Community
For some reason it could download .pdf files but not .sas7bdat or .xpt files.
As you can see in screenshot, if I try to download a .sas7bdat file the browser attempts to download downloadButton.htm or downloadButton.txt.
I am confident all filepaths are correct. In fact I was using almost the same code previously to download already existing files and it worked fine.
output$downloadButton <- downloadHandler(
filename = function(){input$fileSelect},
content = function(tempFilePath){
fullPath <- file.path(paste0(currentDirectory(), "/", input$fileSelect))
file.copy(fullPath, tempFilePath)
})
If you know of a fix or an alternative to using downloadhandler please answer.
