I have an application created with flexdashboard. I included my R code in different chunks as it supposed to be (along with shiny and flexdashboard components).
If I try to run my application ( from batch file using rmarkdown::run or directly from Rstudio, it doesn't really matter) without changing the Rmd file first (just with a space more), the application stars but the chunks are not run. Basically only the static page is shown and I see that the shiny server (my pc in this case) is in "listen" status. At this point whatever interaction I do with buttons dropdown list has no effect on the application.
It seems that the chunks are not run if the Rmd file is up to date. There is a way to force the execution? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
If I change with a fake modification the rmd and I save it, then all the chunks are executed and the app run perfectly....
I run my app using the following code via batch file:
"D:\Data\v101285\Programs\R\R-3.5.2\bin\i386\R.exe" -e "rmarkdown::run('D:/Data/v101285/Marco/09_R_Projects/02_InteractiveRiskViewer/InteractiveRiskViewer.Rmd', shiny_args = list(launch.browser = TRUE))"
thanks a lot for the support
Edit: For avoiding cache issues,as suggested in the comments, I included cache=FALSE in every chuck but still the issue persists. I noticed that Rmarkdown creates for every run a temp folder under "C:\Users.....\AppData\Local\Temp....\rmarkdown\". If I delete all the files than the chunks are run and the app works. There is a way to avoid this temp files?
I had a similar problem and i've found a solution: https://github.com/rstudio/flexdashboard/issues/108
I just had to ensure that runtime: shiny is on its own line (not indented in the yaml header).
title: "Dynamic UI Test"
runtime: shiny
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
orientation: columns
vertical_layout: fill
