Refreshing shiny dataset

Question

I have update my DataSet.RData used by my shiny app running on Shiny Server. However, shiny app is still running on the old data. I have cleared by browser history and restarted the browser a couple of times but no success.

When I run app within RStudio, it runs fine and shows the new data.

Answer 1

If you create/edit a file called restart.txt in your app folder the server restarts the application. To do so, you can add a button to create/edit that file like,

# ui.R
actionButton("restart", "Restart")

# server.R
observeEvent(input$restart, {
    file.create("restart.txt")
})

After clicking this button and refresh the page your data should also be refreshed.
