My R shiny app has two modules. The "dataselect" module and the "plot" module. I want to write unit tests for the two modules using testthat package. I am following the instruction in the mastering Shiny book. It has been mentioned in this book that first, we should create a test file using usethis::use_test()
in the R console.
But when I run this code, I get the following error:
Error: Open file must be in the 'R' directory of the active package. Actual path: 'app.R'
It might not be needed, but for more information, I put a minimal example of my Shiny app that I want to write the unit tests for its modules:
library(shiny)
library(plotly)
library(reshape2)
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Dataselect module
dataselect_ui<- function(id) {
ns<-NS(id)
tagList(
selectInput(ns("Nametype"),"Select a name type",
choices=c("Name1","Name2","choose"),selected = "choose"),
selectInput(ns("Name"),"Select a name",
choices="",selected = "",selectize=TRUE),
DT::DTOutput(ns("tab"))
)
}
dataselect_server <- function(id) {
moduleServer(id, function(input, output, session) {
# Data preparation
df<-data.frame(Name1<-c("Aix galericulata","Grus grus"," Alces alces"),
Name2<-c("Mandarin Duck","Common Crane" ,"Elk"),
eventDate<-c("2015-03-11","2015-03-10","2015-03-10"),
individualCount<-c(1, 10, 1)
)
colnames(df)<-c("Name1","Name2","eventDate","individualCount")
# Putting columns Name1 and Nam2 of df in one column called nameType using melt()function
# This format of data is needed for the choices argument of updateSelectizeInput()
df2<-reshape2::melt(df,id=c("eventDate","individualCount"))
colnames(df2)<-c("eventDate","individualCount","nameType","Name")
observeEvent(
input$Nametype,
updateSelectizeInput(session, "Name", "Select a name",
choices = unique(df2$Name[df2$nameType==input$Nametype]),selected = ""))
# finalDf() is the data used to plot the table and plot
finalDf<-reactive({
if(input$Name=="choose"){
return(NULL)
}
if(input$Name==""){
return(NULL)
}
if(input$Nametype=="choose"){
return(NULL)
}
# if the first selectInput is set to Name1, from df select rows their Name1 column are
# equal to the second selectInput value
else if(input$Nametype=="Name1"){
finalDf<-df[which(df$Name1==input$Name) ,]
}
# if the first selectInput is set to Name2, from df select rows their Name2 column are
# equal to the second selectInput value
else if(input$Nametype=="Name2"){
finalDf<-df[which(df$Name2==input$Name) ,]
}
return(finalDf)
})
output$tab<-DT::renderDT({
req(input$Name)
datatable(finalDf(), filter = 'top',
options = list(pageLength = 5, autoWidth = TRUE),
rownames= FALSE)
})
return(
list("finalDf" = finalDf, "input_Name" = reactive(input$Name))
)
})
}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Plot module
plot_ui <- function(id) {
ns<-NS(id)
tagList(
plotlyOutput(ns("plot"))
)
}
plot_server <- function(id,input_Name ,finalDf) {
moduleServer(id, function(input, output, session) {
output$plot <- renderPlotly({
req(input_Name())
p<-ggplot(finalDf(),aes(x=eventDate,y=individualCount)) +geom_point(alpha=0.2, shape=21, color="black",fill="red",size=5)+
labs( x = "Date Event",y= "Individual Count") +theme_bw()
p<-ggplotly(p)
p
})
})
}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# application
ui <- fluidPage(
dataselect_ui("dataselect"),
plot_ui("plot1")
)
server <- function(session,input, output) {
dataselect_outputs <- dataselect_server("dataselect")
plot_server("plot1",input_Name = dataselect_outputs$input_Name
,finalDf= dataselect_outputs$finalDf)
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
I appreciate any help everybody can provide.
