R Shiny Flexdashboard sometimes doesn't load locally?


I created my first flexdashboard with runtime: shiny in R on my work computer. I wasn't having issues while I was making it and the final copy was running fine. I have not made any changes since, but now when I run it sometimes the dashboard does not load the data in the valueboxes or graphs. To make sure the script was still working, I ran on my personal computer and it rendered as normal.

I am currently trying to get my IT department's help to solve this issue, but none of them know what R is and I do not have enough background knowledge with Shiny to explain what the possible problem could be. My first guess is it's a windows defender firewall issue blocking the local host and ports.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? I've spoken to three different IT support employees and they all feel they don't have enough information to identify the problem. Do you have any advise reagarding questions to ask IT or how to go about solving this issue?


Solution

  • I was a similar experience when upload a project to server(Shiny Server). You could try the libraries using the project. Because many times they give compatibility problems.
