shinylive-r: cannot include R file

The ## file: header splits the chunk contents into files, so in your example, you're only creating one R/test-shiny.R file. You'd need something like this for it to work:

```{shinylive-r}
#| standalone: true
#| viewerHeight: 300

## file: R/test-shiny.R
{{< include R/test-shiny.R >}}

## file: app.R
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
    textInput("name",  msg1),
    textOutput("greeting"),
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
    output$greeting <- renderText({
        paste0(msg2, input$name)
    })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
```

shinylive does assume that code that appears before any file headers is app.R, though, so if you put the Shiny app code first, you wouldn't need the ## file: app.R bit.

That's true, it was just an example showing how to create multiple files in shinylive.
