Shinytest for a dynamically created UI (with reprex)

[GreyMerchant]

Hello,

I am trying to incorporate shinytest into my shinyapp and I am able to run the recording of the test with recordTest() but I end up with the error below . Below I have attached the reprex for you (it is a simple survey where depending on what you answer in the question it will create a certain set of questions on the next screen for you. Just note the package which you need to install for it to work.

After you have the shiny app working you can just run recordTest in the right folder with the app.R file from above and you should see the error after you made your full selection of actions that need to be captured. I can share my exact test scenario but other instances trigger it too.

library(shinytest)

shinytest::recordTest("loop_simple_test")

Running mytest.R Error in session_makeRequest(self, private, endpoint, data, params, headers) : 
  Can't find variable: $escape

@nirgrahamuk - I created a new topic with the reprex now Any thoughts?

[nirgrahamuk]

my thought is that its something screwy with javascript input bindings that rely on Shiny.$escape()
I recommend you raise an issue with the shinytest developers.

Anyone? I have posted on the package's github as well but no luck.
