Shiny UI Editor says "Loading initial state from server"

[UlrichDemlehner]

I'm on a Win10 machine. The installation of the Shiny UI Editor was without any problem. When I start to edit an already existing App.R file with launch_editor(app_loc = "TestShiny/App.R"), I get as response in R Studio:

┌-----------------------------------------------┐
| Live editor running at http://localhost:11238 |
└-----------------------------------------------┘
Message from client READY-FOR-STATE
=> Loading app ui and sending to ui editor
=> Starting Shiny preview app...
Started Shiny preview app - App PID: 11416

Logs from preview app:

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:5869

The browser window (Chrome) shows the URL http://localhost:11238/ in the address bar and the message "Loading initial state from server". And this message never disappears ...

What can I do?

Best regards

Ulrich

Same problem here on a debian machine with RstudioServer

[Riguizole]

Same problem as well on Pop OS (Ubuntu equivalent) with versions of shinyuieditor, R and Rstudio up to date at this moment. @nstrayer ?

Is Shiny UI Editor not being actively supported?

[UlrichDemlehner]

I guess it's self supported software: dear user, if you have any problems, we wish you the very best and good luck!

Same issue with RStudio Server Pro on Linux... was looking forward to this working on the paid products

Having this problem as well, windows 10 machine. It is now September 2024, has there been any word from the developer on this issue or is this project abandoned?

Same problem here, using a VSCode+Docker Devcontainer, linux-desktop, Windows host.

Hi! I deeply apologize for the slow response! I'm on paternity leave and behind on just about everything!

Unfortunately, the ShinyUIEditor is not getting active development at this time. We are a small team and have made the hard decision to focus on exploring Shiny Express and leveraging AI/LLMs to enable high-level "explore and easy build" options. We would be happy to consider PRs that resolve this issue or other improvements.

Hi, I'm having the same problem too. Any updates in 2025?
