How do I deploy a shinydashboard to shinyapps.io?

[Alexander Li]

I get an HTTP 400 error when I try to deploy a shinydashboard to shinyapps.io using deployApp() from the rsconnect package. Is it possible at the moment to upload a shinydashboard to the shinyapps.io server? I couldn't find anything on their website about shinydashboard.

Hi Alexander,

You can definitely deploy a shinydashboard to shinyapps.io.  What error are you seeing?

Are you seeing the same version issue I am? (See issue posted yesterday)

Yes.  This is a different problem.  We haven't yet upgraded shinyapps.io to support R  3.2.3,if you can downgrade to 3.2.2 you should be able to get through it.

I initially received this error:

Error in lint(appDir, appFiles, appPrimaryDoc) : 

  Cancelling deployment: invalid project layout.

The project should have one of the following layouts:

1. 'shiny.R' and 'ui.R' in the application base directory,

2. 'shiny.R' and 'www/index.html' in the application base directory,

3. 'app.R' or a single-file Shiny .R file,

4. An R Markdown (.Rmd) document,

5. A static HTML (.html) document.

I had my code in a single rscript and I defined server without the shinyServer function. 

The HTTP 400 error occurred after I tried separating the script into ui.R and server.R files. The error looked like this:

Preparing to deploy application...

Error: HTTP 400

Alexander,

You should make sure there is no spaces in your application directory name, and that its at least 4 characters in length.

Hope that helps

Thanks, I just edited the directory names. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the issue... I'm working in RStudio on this so I was wondering, should it show a Run App button at the top right? The app works fine using the shinyApp() function though.

What is the name of the directory you are using?
