Hello,

I would like to use session$onSessionEnded(stopApp) inside a shiny application made with flexdashboard (https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/flexdashboard/shiny.html)

The problem is that according to:

the code should go inside the server function but in a flexdashboard shiny app there is not a server function.

How can I make it work for a shiny app made with flexdashboard?

I believe the session is made available automatically, so you can do something like:

I added the code below at the bottom of the shiny app that I made with flexdashboard but it does not stop the app when the browser is closed

session$onSessionEnded(stopApp)

Are you running the document from RStudio (if so, please report the version) or the R console (if not, does the app stop from the R console)?

I am using Rstudio server Version 1.2.1327

Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)

Matrix products: default
BLAS/LAPACK: /usr/lib64/R/lib/libRblas.so

when I added the following code

session$onSessionEnded(stopApp)

The shiny flexdashboard was often disconnecting from the server and showing this message:
function () { .callbacks$remove(id) } <environment: 0xac847c0>
