Self- contained app gets Twitter data but UI crashes

[f0nzie]

Hi, this is a great app. I wanted to to take a closer look. I like how you present the metrics.

I am using the self-contained version of your app. The master is giving me different sort of troubles I cannot follow. From the self- contained app I am getting this error:

I was able to get all the tweets gathered running first the 00-first-run.R file.

The error seems to be coming from ui.r, here:

dashboardPage(
  # Dashboard Page Setup ----------------------------------------------------
  title = META$name,
  skin  = META$skin_color,
  theme = c(META$theme_css, "custom.css"),
  sidebar_mini = TRUE,
  dashboardHeader(
    title = HTML(glue::glue(
      '<span class="logo-mini">{META$logo_mini}</span>
      <span class="logo-lg">{META$logo_lg}</span>'
    ))
  ),

Any hints?

Thanks.

Sorry about the confusion — I forked shinydashboard and added the theme argument because I wanted to cleanly load my own CSS.

The project dependencies are documented in deps.yml:

https://github.com/gadenbuie/tweet-conf-dash/blob/0317ac6e8f803c732380571037b5430acfea47cd/deps.yaml#L4-L8

Again sorry about the confusion — I fully intended to PR this back to shinydashboards but... life... 🤷‍♂

If you run into any other problems, feel free to open an issue as soon as you do and I'll answer. There's some self-inflicted wonkiness in this project and I'm happy to provide guidance around it.

Thanks. on the self-contained app I did this: I removed the theme object and getting error with sidebar_mini = TRUE,. Removed sidebar_mini = TRUE,

and still getting another error: .

Which is the branch I should be working with? The master or self-contained? The master doesn't work either. I get different type of errors. There is no script 01-first-run.R in the master.

Thanks.

There are a few other things I changed in my fork of shinydashboard, not just the theme argument. De-tangling my forked version from the app would take a bit of work, but it's doable. But I would use self-contained branch.

Hi,

Thanks for answer in my post. I just have time now to fix. I am now with same error: Error in dashboardPage: unused arguments (theme = c(META$theme_css, "custom.css"), sidebar_mini = TRUE)

I read this post several times I do not understand what I need to do in order to fix. I download again the last release but still have the same error.

If you install my fork of shinydashboard, this app should work. Use this code:

devtools::install_github("gadenbuie/shinydashboard@2dfe619d92193de2b0b1d74be48798f994ea882b")

I would recommend using docker or renv or a similar process to ensure that you're only using my shinydashboard fork for this app rather than installing it globally on your computer.

It works, I used renv instead of container. It is amazing package this give to us lot's of possibilities. Thanks
