Shinystan: An error has occurred! in example of as.shinystan

General
1

I am trying to run as.shinystan with the example provided in the function documentation.

chain1 <- cbind(beta1 = rnorm(100), beta2 = rnorm(100), sigma = rexp(100))
chain2 <- cbind(beta1 = rnorm(100), beta2 = rnorm(100), sigma = rexp(100))
sso <- shinystan::as.shinystan(list(chain1, chain2))
shinystan::launch_shinystan(sso)

Somehow, this gives an error:
" An error has occurred!

unused argument (href = "http://mc-stan.org/documentation/")"
in the html and also one in the R console:

"Warning: Error in a: unused argument (href = "http://mc-stan.org/documentation/")
  105: dots_list
  104: span
  103: helpText
  102: stan_manual [ui_utils.R#181]
   93: source_ui [ui_utils.R#2]
   80: source_ui [ui_utils.R#2]
Warning: Error in a: unused argument (href = "http://mc-stan.org/documentation/")

  102: stan_manual [ui_utils.R#181]
   93: source_ui [ui_utils.R#2]
   80: source_ui [ui_utils.R#2]

I use R 4.1.0 and I thought I could not do many mistakes in this brief lines of code, but somehow I managed to make it not run. Can somebody help me out?

P.S. I did not really know whether this is a interface topic, so I put in the general forum.

Hi,
I just ran the code in my R installation and it worked as expected. What is your version of shinystan? I am using 2.5.0. Maybe there is some discrepancy between your version of shinystan and some packages it depends on? Hereā€™s my full sessionInfo() output of packages I have (and where it works) to help you narrow down some possible root causes of the discrepancy.
