Attempt to turn the most basic app into a standalone application using Photon #24

Hi, I am really excited to see Photon's abilities (I first saw Shiny meets electron talk by Katie, and realised Photon is your latest method)! I have struggled for a long time to share my apps.

To test Photon, I did the following:

  1. install node.js (works, tested 'npm' in CMD line, recognised)

  2. install git (works, tested 'git' in CMD line, recognised)

  3. install Photon using your instructions

  4. Open new basic shinyApplications: RStudio > File > New file > Shiny Web App... >> --> Name 'PhotonTestApp' --> multiple fFIle (ui.R/server.R) --> C:/ShinyApps Tested to see the app works, the basic Geyser data app.

  5. setwd("C:\ShinyApps\PhotonTestApp\")

  6. Launch Photon app builder --> Shiny App Directory: C:/ShinyApps/temp --> left default NULL in all three package inputs --> Build

I get the following error:

> photon:::photon_rstudioaddin() Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3898 [1] "Selected directory: " [1] "Selected directory: C:/ShinyApps/temp" Running Photon Warning in normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[1]="C:\ShinyApps\temp/electron-quick-start": The system cannot find the file specified

I see that a directory was created: C:\ShinyApps\temp\electron-quick-start\ with a hidden .git directory which is empty.

Some additional info:

Hi there,

i had the same issue.

Warning in normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[1]="C:\ShinyApps\temp/electron-quick-start": The system cannot find the file specified

The problem is that the path is wrong. It should be path[1]="C:/ShinyApps/temp/electron-quick-start"

The solution I found: #22

StanWijn commented 4 years ago

I have the exact same problem. @mspandel Thank you for the suggested fix. However, I think my winslash is not in the right position. Do you mind creating a pull request with the implemented fix?

EDIT: Thank you for the rapid response!

Hi,

I have the same problem. I try the winslash changing solution from #22 with no success. The path is now good but photon still refuse to build. Is there a link with the last UI modifications ?

Thanks
