Error in deploying a shiny app

Question

I'm trying to deploy shiny app into a shiny server but getting this error:

Error: HTTP 400
POST https://api.shinyapps.io/v1/applications/
Validation Error

After writing in the console:

    shinyapps::deployApp("C:\\Users\\Shiny App")

All the installation went ok, I got Rtools available as well, I'm set to be in the working directory... where is the problem?

Answer 1

Make sure there are no spaces in the last snippet of that "link to your app" path name, it somehow causes an error.

For example:

This snippet of code caused me a problem.

shinyapps::deployApp('C:/Users/InfiniteFlash/Desktop/App Name')

but this one doesn't

shinyapps::deployApp('C:/Users/InfiniteFlash/Desktop/App_Name')

Avoiding spaces apparently allows the app to deploy.
