Complex Heatmap/InteractiveComplexHeatmap Error fontawesome 5.13.0

Question

[Kristy]

Does anyone know how to resolve the error message "couldn't normalize path in 'addResourcePath' with arguments 'prefix' = 'fontawesome-5.13.0'; directoryPath '=" when trying to deploy the app in InteractiveComplexHeatmap? Before I was able to get everything to render using ht_shiny(list_hm) in ComplexHeatmap, but it stopped recognizing the function ht_shiny. Then I installed InteractiveComplexHeatmap and I get the error below.

It is because, from shiny 1.7.0, fontawesome.js has been moved to an independent R package. I have fixed this problem on both github and bioc devel branch.

Hi. I was having the same issue after getting the latest shiny version (1.7.0). Once I downgraded back to shiny 1.6.0, the issue was solved. The following code did the trick:

# loading devtools library
library(devtools)

# downgrading shiny version
install_version("shiny", version = "1.6.0", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Cheers.
