RStudio GUI crash by use of manipulateWidget function

RStudio IDE
1

Hi,

after upgrading Rstudio to the newest version 1.1.453, I experience GUI crash when using the manipulateWidget function with the following code:

manipulateWidget(dygraph(Fdata.dg[as.POSIXct(range[1])<=index(Fdata.dg) & as.POSIXct(range[2]) >= index(Fdata.dg),c("01","02","03")],main="Test",group="TestGroup")
%>% dyAxis("y", label = "Y-Axis Test", valueRange = c(0,100)) %>% dyLegend(width=500) %>%
dyOptions(colors = mycol[which(colnames(Fdata.dg) %in% series)],titleHeight = 60) %>%
dyRoller(rollPeriod=1) %>% dyRangeSelector(),
range = mwDateRange(value=c(index(first(Fdata.dg)),index(last(Fdata.dg))+86400),label="Timerange"),
series = mwSelect(colnames(Fdata.dg),value="01",multiple = T),
.viewer = "window" )

save.image()

Fdata is a xts object containing three columns of numeric data in a time series.
When the save.image statement is active, then sourcing the script crashes the GUI every time.
Without the save.image(), the crash comes frequently after closing the shiny window.

The previous version of Rstudio did not show up any problems with this.

Thanks for help

Environment: Windows 7 SP1 32 bit, R 3.5.0, manipulateWidget 0.9.0

Hi woec. Welcome to community. Sorry about your troubles. In terms of diagnosing your issues, could you provide some additional info from the RStudio IDE team's RStudio Crash Guide?

Good Morning,

below I submit additional infos requested:

manipulateWidget(dygraph(Fdata.dg[as.POSIXct(range[1])<=index(Fdata.dg) & as.POSIXct(range[2]) >= index(Fdata.dg),c("01","02","03")],main="Test",group="TestGroup")

                 .viewer = "window" )

save.image()

Below the RStudio GUI crash message:

No crashdump is written

Remark: The crash does not appear if the code is executed within a native R-console.

Thank you for help

The problem described is still present in the last version of RStudio (1.1.456).
Is there any idea how to get it away?
Thanks.

I'm not able to replicate the error/crash because Fdata.dg isn't provided. Is there anyway you can similate data to make a minimal reprex? (FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one?)

Good Morning,

below, I supply again the script causing the crash, with Fdata Dataset included:

Because I am not allowed to upload attachment data, I supply the Fdata.tst dataframe here:

The script:

library(xts)
library(dygraphs)
library(manipulateWidget)

mycol<-c("magenta","red","blue","green","grey","brown","orange","purple","cyan","brown")

Fdata.tst.dg<-xts(Fdata.tst[,-1],Fdata.tst$Timestamp)

manipulateWidget(dygraph(Fdata.tst.dg[as.POSIXct(range[1])<=index(Fdata.tst.dg) & as.POSIXct(range[2]) >= index(Fdata.tst.dg),c("01","02","03")],main="Test",group="TestGroup") 
                 %>% dyAxis("y", label = "Y-Axis Test", valueRange = c(0,100)) %>% dyLegend(width=500) %>%
                   dyOptions(colors = mycol[which(colnames(Fdata.tst.dg) %in% series)],titleHeight = 60) %>% 
                   dyRoller(rollPeriod=1)  %>% dyRangeSelector(),
                 range = mwDateRange(value=c(index(first(Fdata.tst.dg)),index(last(Fdata.tst.dg))+86400),label="Timerange"),
                 series = mwSelect(colnames(Fdata.tst.dg),value="01",multiple = T),
                 .viewer = "window" )

save.image()

sourcing this script, RStudio crashes reproducible each time at the line "save.image"

Thank you
