Child Task failed: Error parsing manifest

[Jane Yang]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy a Shiny app but am running into a few errors. The first is that I get a warning about an absolute path in my file:

>> Question 1: do I need to use the ~ notation in the directories in order for the app to deploy properly on the server? I am loading in an .Rdata file from the data folder within the project directory, which is why I define a working directory.

The second issue is a parsing manifest error. Originally, I had a number of other project-related (but not Shiny-related) files in the folder, but realized it was causing the app deployment to load unnecessary documents. I therefore moved all non-Shiny files out of the project directory, including ke_profile.xlsx. However, this file is being referenced in the error message below with "checksum mismatch."

>> Question 2: why is the Shiny app deployment referencing documents outside of the project directory?

Thank you in advance for your help!

> shinyapps::deployApp('/VOLUMES/AUSTEN/OAF/KE-expansion')

The following potential problems were identified in the project files:

--------

server.r

--------

The following lines contain absolute paths:

14: wd <- "/VOLUMES/AUSTEN/OAF/KE-expansion"

Paths should be to files within the project directory.

Do you want to proceed with deployment? [Y/n]: Y

Hi all,

Sorry, I just figured out the answer to Question 1 so please ignore that. If anyone has any ideas about resolving Question 2, however, I am all ears.

Thank you!
Jane

Hi everyone,

Please disregard. For anyone who might run into a similar issue, the answer was that there was a hidden file in the data directory that had ~$ in the filename, thereby causing an error. By deleting that file, I was able to get the deployment to continue. Now running into Error: Unhandled Exception: HTTP 502: Bad Gateway, but imagine that has to do with the server rather than the server.r script.

Thanks,

Jane

Hi Jane,

If you retry to deploy your application, it should work. You might have deployed while we were doing a code deploy on our side. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I had a similar parsing manifest error message because the referenced excel file was still open in excel. Once I closed the file in excel, I was able to deploy my app. Thanks Jane for leading me to my resolve this error.
