Create any Shiny Express app.py, and put a www directory next to it with some trivial contents.
shiny run shiny.express.app:app_2e_py
Results in this error:
ValueError: static_assets must be an absolute path: "www". Consider using one of the following instead:
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "www") OR pathlib.Path(__file__).parent/"www"
which is what you get on shinyapps.io. However, shiny run app.py works just fine.
The problem seems to be that shiny.express._run.wrap_express_app() takes a file argument that can be relative. I think that should be coerced to an absolute (file = file.absolute()) right at the top of the function body.
