Question: how to use custom repos on shinylive.io

[pawelru]

I was thinking that it is webr_pkg_repos option value but apparently it does not work in shinylive.io.

A minimal example:

options(webr_pkg_repos = c("r-universe" = "https://pharmaverse.r-universe.dev", getOption("webr_pkg_repos")))
library(teal.code)
packageVersion("teal.code")

In webR REPL app it works correctly:

However, in shinylive.io it does not:

sharable link

(I am sorry if this is not appropriate repo. If that's the case - please guide me where should I open this)

Thanks for reporting this! Related: r-wasm/actions#18

For the moment, there's a workaround given in that thread. It's not ideal but it might be able to get you up and running for now.

webr::unmount("/usr/lib/R/library/teal.code")
webr::install(
  "teal.code",
  repos = c("https://pharmaverse.r-universe.dev/", "https://repo.r-wasm.org")
)
