does animint work on windows?

@kferris10 I have a feeling this may be due to file path issues on Windows. Would you mind running example(animint) on your machine?

[cpsievert]

@talgalili does this work for you?

library(animint)
animint2dir(list(p = qplot(1:10)))

Everything seems to work fine for me.

maybe this issue has something to do with windows? maybe we can test on windows via https://www.appveyor.com/ and maybe the fix will be via #50

[kferris10]

@tdhock Just an FYI, I just double checked on my windows machine and everything still runs fine for me.

[faizan-khan-iit]

I was just going through some old issues related to #177 when I stumbled across this one. It seems like the problem is with the permissions that the R Gui has in Windows.

If I try to running this in the RGui(64 bit) :

library(animint)
animint2dir(list(p = qplot(1:10)))

everything works fine.

While this:

animint2dir(list(p = qplot(1:10)), "test_dir")

gives the following error:

`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
opening a web browser with a file:// URL; if the web page is blank, try running
if (!requireNamespace("servr")) install.packages("servr")
servr::httd("C:/Users/Faizan/Documents/test_dir")
Error in shell.exec(url) : 'test_dir/index.html' not found

Don't know why it can't find a directory it just created but running:

servr::httd("C:/Users/Faizan/Documents/test_dir")

after the above error works too.

RStudio seems fine with both so I don't think we ought to bother with fixing this.

eventually it would be good to have appveyor test cases running on a windows vm.
