shinyapps.io application runtime error

DavidFong · March 14, 2020, 11:32pm

Originally developed (and works) on Windows 10, using RStudio 1.2, Microsoft R Open 3.5.3 (and using Microsoft R MRAN snapshot 2019-04-15, except for various packages derived from github, and linstalled using devtools::install_github).

(a 'demonstration' version of this app is at http://vkelim.3322.org and http://vkelim.dsmynas.com but both installations are not very reliable as they are not running on proper servers).

'Crashes' after the web-browser window opens, with the log as shown below.

I can download the 'bundle' from shinyapps.io, install the bundle onto a Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, download packages according to the 'packrat' instructions (installing bundles using 'packrat', RStudio document ), and then successfully launch the app using runApp().

One thing that seems strange is that installation using rsconnect (from the Windows machine), doesn't take very long. But installing via the 'bundle' downloaded from shinyapps.io, onto the same Windows i7 machine takes about fifteen minutes. It takes even longer on my Ubuntu machine (a 2-core i5), because absolutely all the packages need to be re-compiled from source. Is shinyapps.io actually installing all the packages that I require?

There probably was a problem with using MRAN (rather than CRAN), so I did an install on a Ubuntu virtual machine, using R version 3.6.3, and 'pure' CRAN packages plus selected packages from specified github respositories (installed with devtools::install_github). This Ubuntu installation mostly worked, although there was some non-functioning logic in limited UI components.

Sadly, the shinyapps.io install (from a local Ubuntu install) crashes soon after start

...despite what I thought was fairly strong testing to make sure the value was a reactive!

the private$set_reactive method is an R6 method, created with a custom function.
For some reason, trying to 'print' within this method did not result in output to the shinyapps.io log, although it does result in an output to the Console when within the local (Windows or Ubuntu) install of Rstudio.

.private(dMeasure, "set_reactive", function(myreactive, value) {
  # reactive (if shiny/reactive environment is available) is set to 'value'
  # myreactive is passed by reference
  # print(myreactive)
  # print(deparse(sys.call(-1)))
  if (requireNamespace("shiny", quietly = TRUE) && shiny::is.reactive(myreactive)) {
    myreactive(value)
  }
})

This is all rather baffling!
