error HTTP 401 when deploying to shinyapps.io

[paolocrosetto]

We built a shiny app including corrmorant. When deploying, shinyapps.io complains that it canot fetch your package. It might be a problem on the shinyapps site but maybe also on your side? using remotes we install your app locally no problem.

Error: Unhandled Exception: Child Task 1155952782 failed: Error building image: Error fetching corrmorant (0.0.0.9007) source. Error accessing GitHub repository r-link/corrmorant. HTTP 401: Unauthorized Execution halted

thanks!

Hi Paolo!
Unfortunately I never found the time to put that package on CRAN, which would have made many things easier.

I googled around a little bit, and you do not seem to be the only one facing this sort of problems when trying to deploy shiny apps that try to access Github repos. I am by no means a shiny expert, but maybe i is helpful to have a look into this thread: rstudio/rsconnect#197

All the best,
Roman

Hi, some time later, but your problem Paolo depends on your setup between Shinyapps and Github. See here
