My shiny app utilizes the randomForestSRC library. It operates fine on my own PC and in my version of R, but I am trying to upload it to an online server space where I need to manually install my apps. When I try to load this library, I get the following error message:
su: ignore --preserve-environment, it's mutually exclusive to --login.
Warning: package ‘randomForestSRC’ was built under R version 4.3.1
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘randomForestSRC’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘htmltools’ 0.5.2 is already loaded, but >= 0.5.4 is required
Execution halted
So it appears that my htmltools library is loaded as an old version, which simply is not true. I have indeed installed the latest version of htmltools; there is no doubt about this.
What's notable is that when I try to load htmltools by itself, I then get THIS error message:
su: ignore --preserve-environment, it's mutually exclusive to --login.
Warning: package ‘htmltools’ was built under R version 4.3.0
Error in value[[3L]](cond) :
Package ‘htmltools’ version 0.5.2 cannot be unloaded:
Error in unloadNamespace(package) : namespace ‘htmltools’ is imported by ‘shiny’ so cannot be unloaded
Calls: runApp ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted
In other words, it is telling me that some conflict with the shiny library is preventing it from loading the latest version of htmltools. This is confusing, because I have downloaded the latest version of shiny. It is worth noting that I don't even directly load the shiny library; I load shinydashboard, shinyjs, and shinycssloaders. I have also downloaded the latest versions of all of these libraries so I am really at a loss as to why I'm still running into old version issues. Lastly, when I run this on my computer, I load all these libraries without any conflicts between them.
I can't offer any code to reproduce this since I am using proprietary code on a proprietary server. This all works fine on my own computer anyway and thus would work fine on yours too.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
