Absence of `gt_color_box()` border box when using `gtsave()` and `gtsave_extra()`

[maxbolger]

Having an issue when using gt_color_box() where the surrounding border box is showing up in my R session output but absent when the table is downloaded using gtsave() or gtsave_extra() (the color swatch to the left of the number in each row is present in both my R session output and the downloaded image, though).

Figured out the problem - appears that phantom_js() which powers webshot wasn't handling the CSS. I switched internal dependency to webshot2 for gtsave_extra(). You'll likely need to install it from Github via:

remotes::install_github("rstudio/webshot2")

You'll notice that gtsave_extra() requires a bit more effort on your part than gtsave() - this is intentional as it gives full control over the "screenshot" and doesn't have a selector down to the "table" element. This allows for some very creative things, especially when combining tables.

You'll likely want to set the vwidth and vheight arguments to something besides the defaults.

library(gt)
library(gtExtras)
test_data <- dplyr::tibble(x = letters[1:10],
  y = seq(100, 10, by = -10),
  z = seq(10, 100, by = 10))
color_box_tab <- test_data %>%
  gt() %>%
  gt_color_box(columns = y, domain = 0:100, palette = "ggsci::blue_material") %>%
  gt_color_box(columns = z, domain = 0:100,
    palette = c("purple", "lightgrey", "green"))

color_box_tab %>% 
  gtsave_extra("test.png")

For some reason it is still not working for me even after installing webshot2 from GitHub (webshot2_0.0.0.9000, gtExtras_0.2.3, gt_0.4.0). I also just noticed the font isn't even the same after saving. Using vwidth and vheight work as intended, though.

Looks like you're on gtExtras_0.2.3 Try update to latest release of gtExtras_0.2.6

remotes::install_github("jthomasmock/gtExtras")
