I can't run Shiny apps after installing promises and async shiny

[dgyurko]

Running any Shiny app aborts the session for me, after installing the promises and the async version of shiny packages using the following commands:

devtools::install_github("rstudio/promises")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/shiny@async")

I am using RStudio Version 1.1.419 My sessionInfo():

Is this still happening for you?

[dgyurko]

Yeah, it still persists.

Also I can't load shiny after removing promises and replacing the async version of shiny:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘shiny’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
 there is no package called ‘promises’

It should probably remove promises from the package dependency of shiny when removing promises.

Just checked again, and it seems to be working now. Keep up the good work!
