Hi

I want to run, from a bash script, an interactive (shiny) report. I am using the following bash command:

Rscript -e "library(LEEF.analysis); db <- '$DB'; report_interactive();"

The function report_interactive rund=s the following command:

  rmarkdown::run(
    file = system.file("InteractiveReport.Rmd", package = "LEEF.analysis")
  )

Now I get a line in bash which says Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3544 with changing ports.

When I now open http://127.0.0.1:3544/InteractiveReport.Rmd the report opens in Safari.

Now I would like to automate the workflow and directly open the shiny app in Safari. Is this possible?

Hi,

According to this post, you can do that by supplying Shiny arguments

rmarkdown::run("InteractiveReport.Rmd", shiny_args = list(launch.browser = TRUE))

Hope this helps,
PJ
