R shiny: Run in Window (R Studio) does not Save or Print the datatable using TableTools Extension

I am trying to use the TableTools extension for DataTables to get a toolbar with copy, save, print and other options above a table in my Shiny App.

This is my server.R:

output$table <- DT::renderDataTable({
    DT::datatable(datasetInput(),extensions = 'TableTools',options = list(
      "sDom" = 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
      "oTableTools" = list(
        "sSwfPath" = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/datatables-tabletools/2.1.5/swf/copy_csv_xls.swf",
        "aButtons" = list(
          "copy",
          "print",
          list("sExtends" = "collection",
               "sButtonText" = "Save",
               "aButtons" = c("csv","xls")
          ))
        )
      ))
  })

This is the output: enter image description here

As you can see, there is no copy button. Also, when I click on the Save button, a tiny bar appears below it and the screen goes gray but nothing happens next.

This only happens when I try to run the app using Run in Window (R Studio). If I run it as External in Chrome, then there are no issues. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
