Dev deployment failing

[matt-dray]

I tried to deploy a dev version of TPMA explorer. A dev deployment is needed now that the prod version is available to the public.

Despite adding the env vars (then re-adding them to be sure), the app errors when trying fetch data.

The logs seem to be continually fill with errors when I open them, to the extent that it borks the log window (it's blank when scrolling up or down). The 'download logs' button also doesn't work, so I can't really investigate what the issue might be.

Why would this happen?

Aside, for posterity: I had updated the deploy script like so, making it easier to deploy to prod or dev in future:

deploy <- function(type = c("dev", "prod")) {
  type <- match.arg(type)

  # prod details
  app_id <- 200
  app_name <- "tpma-explorer"
  app_title <- "TPMA explorer"

  if (type == "dev") {
    app_id <- 298  # <--- UPDATE THIS
    app_name <- paste0(app_name, "-dev")
    app_title <- paste(app_title, "(dev)")
  }

  rsconnect::deployApp(
    appName = app_name,
    appTitle = app_title,
    server = "connect.strategyunitwm.nhs.uk",
    appId = app_id,
    appFiles = c(
      "R",
      "inst",
      "NAMESPACE",
      "DESCRIPTION",
      "app.R"
    ),
    lint = FALSE,
    forceUpdate = TRUE
  )
}

# Deploy development version between releases to
# https://connect.strategyunitwm.nhs.uk/tpma-explorer-dev/
deploy(type = "dev")

# Deploy on release to
# https://connect.strategyunitwm.nhs.uk/tpma-explorer/
deploy(type = "prod")

Will need to update the appId value for the dev version when it gets redeployed in future.
