[R-pkg-devel] R CMD check halts on @example in shiny::runApp()

[Joris Meys]

Hi Lindsay,

this is normal and to be expected, as shiny blocks R and shifts focus to
the browser. This only makes sense in interactive modus, as your app needs
input from a user before it does anything.

So for your shiny examples, you always have to use \dontrun{}.
Cheers
Joris
