无法在 Shinyapps.io 中显示图像

Question

Following is the piece of code in shiny.server. It works perfectly fine and loads the image in local computer. But whenever I try to host the app in shinyapps.io server the image doesn't show up. Please guide what's the problem and how to solve the same?

output$tb<-renderUI({
  if(is.null(data()))
    h5("developped by Kinsuk ",tags$img(src='shinysnap.jpg',height=350,width=600))
  else
    tabsetPanel(tabPanel("About File",tableOutput("filedf")),tabPanel("Data",tableOutput("table")),tabPanel("Summary",tableOutput("summ")),tabPanel("Centered Variables",dataTableOutput("MeanC")))

})

Answer 1

Try converting your image file from ".jpg" to ".png". It may work. I had similar issue, and I got it resolved by converting jpg image to png format.

Answer 2

You might want to double check the spelling of your image name.

I had an image called (let's say) iMage.jpg, and the path image.jpg. Locally it found the correct image (in the www folder), but on shinyapps.io it didn't presumably because it is case sensitive there.
