I have an .Rmd file for a report that makes use of the following libraries: lubridate, plotly, DT, pracma, plyr, dplyr, scales. My goal is to host this document on shinyapps.io so that my manager can easily access it through a link. Unfortunately, when I try to deploy by running the following code:

rsconnect::setAccountInfo(name='myAccount',
          token='myToken',
          secret='mySecret')

library(rsconnect)

rsconnect::deployDoc('myFile.Rmd')

It says that the deployment was successful, but the loaded webpage just gives an error. This is what I'm getting in my log:

For context, lubridate is the first package I attempt to load in the R script. I've both run the rconnect code and tried to use the publishing button, but to no avail.

I've also followed the suggestions in this thread, also to no avail: deploy a Rmd interactive doc with Shinyapps.io

Does anyone know what's happening? Am I even approaching this task the right way? If not, how should it be done? Finally, if I'm well and truly screwed here, is there an alternative method that can more easily/reliably be used to host an .Rmd report?

Update: deployment logs for those who have asked

from my R console:

> rsconnect::setAccountInfo(name='myAccount',
+             token='myToken',
+             secret='mySecret')
> library(rsconnect)
> rsconnect::deployDoc('myFile')

Can you post the deployment log?Ralf Stubner
Sure, just added an edit. Is that what you're referring to? Please let me know if notMax Lester
That log looks fine. Can you provide a minimal reproducible example? My simple test works without issues: rstub.shinyapps.io/lub-testRalf Stubner

Solved. For anyone else new to this, make sure you don't have any install.packages calls or this:

rsconnect::setAccountInfo(name='myAccount',
      token='myToken',
      secret='mySecret')

library(rsconnect)

rsconnect::deployDoc('myFile.Rmd')

in your code body.
