_w_ in shinyapps.io URL

benkates · June 15, 2020, 3:23pm

Hi there, can anyone tell me more about the directory being added to the URL of my shinyapps.io app ending in /_w_123456/? Is this a version number?

We have a server side authentication solution that is based on the "clean" URL without that. Any guidance here would be great!

I should add that I'm looking to turn this off - the w param is stripping authentication tokens from the URL

Problem solved, this was an issue from tablerDash (a Shiny implementation of tabler.io), specifically in this init.js file

Hi @benkates , how do you resolved the problem? I am having the same problem with "w" in shinyapps.io but working with shinymobile.

Thanks in advance!

It was a function in the init.js file (inst/tablerDash-0.1.0/init.js). I forked to my own repo and commented out window.history.replaceState.

  if (typeof workerId != "undefined") {
     var pathname = window.location.pathname;
     var newpath = pathname + workerId;
     console.log(newpath);
     window.history.replaceState( {} , 'newpath', newpath);

A lot of thanks @benkates for your useful and fast answer , the same js is on shinymobile package:

github.com

RinteRface/shinyMobile/blob/2692ac08a90a63481706722fe6e058431100d788/inst/framework7-5.7.8/my-app.js

$(function () {
  // handles shinyapps.io
  var workerId = $('base').attr('href');
  // ensure that this code does not locally
  if (typeof workerId != "undefined") {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;
    var newpath = pathname + workerId;
    window.history.replaceState( {} , 'newpath', newpath);
  }

  // From this we can recover the workerId and the sessionId. sessionId
  // is the same recovered on the server side with session$token.
  $(document).on('shiny:sessioninitialized', function(event) {
    Shiny.setInputValue('shinyInfo', Shiny.shinyapp.config);
  });

  // Returns the last input changed (name, value, type, ...)
  $(document).on('shiny:inputchanged', function(event) {
    Shiny.setInputValue('lastInputChanged', {name: event.name, value: event.value, type: event.binding.name.split('.')[1]});
  });
