problem with async shiny apps

Hi,

I have a shiny app that I transformed one of its expensive functions into an async one. The app works fine on my local machine (Mac) as well as shinyapps server in NON-async format. It also works perfectly in async format on my local machine but not on the shinyapps.io server.

Here's my app address: https://asalavaty.shinyapps.io/IVI_Shiny_app/

I would appreciate any help.

You haven't provided us with a means to try to help you...
Perhaps you should attempt a minimal reproducible example.
I suggest you take as simple as an async example as you can find (perhaps one you studied as you learned about it).
Then make a one button shiny app, that would use it.
Then see if it deploys to shinyapps.io
then report back here if there is an issue, but share the minimal code to reproduce it.

Good luck on your journey.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for your reply. I would guess an empty shiny app with a single async button would work fine on the shinyapps server. However, as I said, my app works perfectly in the async format on my local (Mac) machine but not on the shinyapps.io server.

Please find below the full ui script of my app. Because of the character limit, I put the server code in the next reply.

Run the application

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

I really appreciate your consideration.

I would guess an empty shiny app with a single async button would work fine on the shinyapps server.

Interesting guess.
And so you decline to attempt it ?
Sorry, but if you arent going to provide anything thats smaller than your entire app... then I'll have to decline to look at it

Hi again Graham,

Thanks for your good suggestion and sorry I refused to do that in the first place! I shortened my code and it helped figure out the problem. It turned out I can't directly use UI inputs in a future! So, I assigned them to a list on the server-side and then used that list in the future!
