Shiny error in Error in ctx$invalidate

[mirandasherlock]

Hi,

I have been able to open the GUI through Shiny on Mac fine but am getting an error - the shiny window opens very briefly and then closes. If I click open in browser, it only briefly opens.

diyabcGUI::diyabc()

I have tried this with a few other r version - 3.3, 3.6, 4.1 and 4.2. I am not sure if this is an issue with the shiny app or how I am executing it, but any help would be appreciated.

Best,

Miranda

I'm facing the same issue, can't figure out what to do. Did you manage to troubleshoot?

Hi,
I'm not seeing that this issue ever got resolved here but I'm wondering if either of you figured it out. I'm having the same problem. The shiny window opens for a few seconds then disappears, and I get the same error you're describing here. It's crazy b/c I had this working last fall using the same version of R and same version of DIY. The only thing that's changed is that I did a few MacOs software updates. Ergh!!!

I got around this error by disconnecting from my VPN, so I'm assuming it's somehow related to a security issue for my laptop. I'm not sure what, how, or why, but that seems to have resolved the issue. Perhaps you're running something in the background that isn't playing nice with the shiny app.

Hi, I am really sorry for the very late reply.

Due to work overload, the development, support and maintenance for the project diyabcGUI is currently paused. Feel free to contact us (by submitting an issue) if you want to take over the development for this project. Pull request are also welcome to fix bug or implement missing functionalities.

I have updated the README file to announce this. This is the official announcement to clarify a situation that has been going on for quite some time.

You can still use the command line version of the software which is still maintained/supported. Check the documentation page here.

All my apologies for the trouble,
Best regards
