Unable to deploy app; failure to resolve dependency

I am unable to deploy an app that I can successfully deploy on shinyapps.io. No changes have been made between the two deployments accept creation of manifest.json. Below is the final snippet of the deploy logs showing the error message and id.

Initially I thought my issue was similar to this post, but it appears that sass installs without issue so perhaps that was a red herring ...

Interesting. We don't have issues deploying simple examples with saas or waldo. Is your repo public so that we could take a look?

Thanks Alex!

Yes, agreed, I tested a few toy apps with a a different account and had no trouble with waldo there either. This is a golem app though, so maybe that is part of the issue.

I can't make this app public. I'll create a minimal golem app and add content to see what is needed to replicate the deployment issue I'm seeing with this app, and then reach out again. Appreciate your time!

Ah, that might be the case. If you can make a minimal golem-based app and it doesn't deploy as expected, I can definitely add that to our issue board to discuss.

Thanks.
