Conflict between summarytools and highcharter packages

[sorathpanzer]

First of all, this is such a nice package, congratulation.

I have been writting some R code for stock analysis, which as also the highcharter library, and i have been facing some kind of incompatibility between the highcharter and the summary tools library. I don't know if the problem is in the summary tools or in the highcharter, for that reason i will also submit the same experience in the highcharter github.

The short description of the problem: The problem that i face is, when i execute the whole R script with the summarytools library with the highcharter at the first execution no problem, but when i try to re-execute the highcharter code a second or a third time it gives blank.

A more precise description of the problem: When execute the overall script, you can do it with no problem what so ever many times you want, but when i specifically try to execute the specific highcharter code at the second or third time it becomes blank and stuck. If i execute the script without the summarytools, the problem disapear

I give this non reproducible example:

`library(summarytools) library(highcharter)

highchart(type = "stock") %>% hc_add_series(EURUSD)`

I hope this is relevant. Keep the nice work.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, always appreciated. I'm not familiar with the highcharter package... If you could set up a small reproducible example (using a built-in dataset), that would be very helpful.

In the meantime, a workaround would be to unload the summarytools package when necessary:

detach("package:summarytools")

# If the problem persists, you can also try this
detach("package:summarytools", unload=TRUE)

I made this reproducible example, run it first without loading the summarytools, you'll verify that the chart will load everytime, but with the summarytools it open blank. I hpe this example helps.

library(quantmod) library(magrittr) library(dplyr) library(highcharter) library(summarytools)

x <- getSymbols("GOOG", auto.assign = FALSE)

highchart(type = "stock") %>% hc_add_series(x)

Hi Sorath,

Doing a clean-up of older issues, I just realized I never replied to you, sorry about that! In fact I wasn't able to reproduce the issue... The blank graph or hanging just doesn't happen on my machine. Do you still experience the same thing on your side?

Closing for now, let me know if the problem still occurs. Thx.
