Problem with updateSelectizeInput with "server = TRUE"

[msquatrito]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the updateSelectizeInput function when I include the argument "server = TRUE". It looks like that when I type in something in the box, it does not find any match with the choice that are available.

If you remove the "server = TRUE", it works ok. The strange thing (sorry, I'm a newbie) is that last week the "server = TRUE" was working fine in my app, when I deployed it on shinyapps. I've tried to update to the latest versions of R and shiny and I'm still having the issue.

Here is an example of the code to reproduce the problem (I copied the session info at the end of the message):

# ui.R

library (shiny)

shinyUI(

  fluidPage(

    sidebarLayout(

      sidebarPanel(

        selectizeInput("gene", h4("Gene"), choices = c("Enter gene, eg: EGFR" = ""))

      ),

      mainPanel(

        verbatimTextOutput('text')

      )

    )

  )

)

# server.R

gene_names <- c("a","b","c","d","e","f","g")

shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {   

    updateSelectizeInput(session, "gene",  choices = gene_names, server = TRUE)

    output$text <- renderText({ paste("gene", input$gene)

    })

})

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Best,

Massimo

I've noticed the same issue in one of the example of the shiny gallery:

Sorry, it is a known bug that we have just fixed
(https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues/557). Please help us test it
if you can:

devtools::install_github('rstudio/shiny')

Thanks!

Thanks Yihui! After the update it's working fine again.
