Warning: Error in exists: invalid first argument

[SenseMaster]

Bug appears when I running my app on AWS with:

• shiny+rstudio
• https tuned by the instruction from: https://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-rstudio-shiny-server-on-aws/
• ssl tuned by the instruction from: https://www.r-bloggers.com/shiny-https-securing-shiny-open-source-with-ssl/
• password on shiny server tuned by instruction: https://www.r-bloggers.com/password-protect-shiny-apps/

  SESSIONINFO:

How to reproduce:

1. Create ui.R with this content (https://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/structure.html#dynamic-content-1):

library(shiny) library(shinydashboard) shinyUI(dashboardPage( dashboardHeader(title = "Dynamic sidebar"), dashboardSidebar( sidebarMenuOutput("menu") ), dashboardBody() ) )

1. Create server.R with this content (https://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/structure.html#dynamic-content-1):

library(shiny) library(shinyjs) library(shinydashboard) shinyServer(function(input, output, session) { output$menu = renderMenu({ sidebarMenu( menuItem("Menu item", icon = icon("calendar")) ) }) } )

1. Create new script with runApp() function with a correct way to the app.
2. Run the app from the rstudio-server environment. (permissions to project files 777)

See the error:

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3339 Warning: Error in exists: invalid first argument Stack trace (innermost first): 84: exists 83: self$exists 82: oldInputs$available 81: shiny::restoreInput 80: sidebarMenu 79: renderMenu [/home/rstudio/test/server.R#7] 78: func 77: origRenderFunc 76: output$menu 1: runApp

If I run app directly from server ( \srv\test ) then

Sorry about that. I've just fixed it. You can install the development version with:

if (!requireNamespace('devtools'))
  install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('rstudio/shinydashboard')

I'll try to release an updated version of shinydashboard to CRAN shortly.

This is related to rstudio/shiny#1382.

The new version is on CRAN now, though it will take some time for it to propagate to mirrors, and for various binary packages to be built.

Thank you!
