I'm developing my first shiny app -- it is working great locally, but produces an error when I publish to shinyapps.io: Error in data.table: object '.R.listCopiesNamed' not found.
I have encountered this error locally before, but the issue was resolved when I updated my packages. Because the error was so easy to resolve locally, and because the error seems to depend on the version of the packages being used by the app, I suspect that there is something in my local environment that shinyapps.io is not recreating on the server -- but I don't know how to track down what is not being recreated in order to add it into my code.
Things I've tried (that all produce the same error):
data.table.Can any one shine some light onto what might be happening locally that isn't being reproduced on the shinyapps.io server? Thanks!
Reproducible example:
library(shiny)
library(data.table)
library(expss)
library(DT)
library(lubridate)
library(tidyverse)
