jobRunScript not working

[OldMortality]

Hi, thank you for your response. Yes, that is precisely what I was hoping to do. In fact, I was hoping to follow thilo's workaround in this post:

Calling one shiny app from within my shiny app

There is no direct way to launch a shiny app from within another shiny app. Calling runApp() inside a shiny app will result in this error, Warning: Error in shiny::runApp: Can't callrunApp()from withinrunApp(). If your application code containsrunApp(), please remove it. But, with RStudio 1.2 there is a workaround. We can store runApp() of second app in an R script and execute this script as a separate R Studio Job. This will start the second shiny app in a new session without stopping the first one. Code: script.R shiny::runApp(path_to_app, launch.browser = TRUE, port = 875) ui.R actionButton("launch_app", "Launch second Shiny App") server.R observeEvent(input$launch_app, { …

Do you think that can not be done?

Many thanks,

Michel
