Example App does not render anything in Firefox, sometimes about firebase

[JohnCoene]

Can you try

server <- function(input, output){
  f <- FirebaseUI$
    new()$ # instantiate
    set_providers( # define providers
      email = TRUE, 
      google = TRUE
    )

  observe({
    launch() # launch
  })
}

A couple notes:

1. I could reliably reproduce the problem with my example and restarting the R session before launching the app. It seems that something is likely cached on first load, which makes subsequent loads work as expected.

2. Your code, I presume, needs to have a "f$" in front of launch() inside the observe(). With that revision, as I've pasted below, it now seems to work as expected in Firefox -- reliably.

library(shiny)
library(firebase)

ui <- fluidPage(
  useFirebase(), # import dependencies,
  firebaseUIContainer()
)

server <- function(input, output){
  f <- FirebaseUI$
    new()$ # instantiate
    set_providers( # define providers
      email = TRUE, 
      google = TRUE
    )
  
  observe({
    f$launch() # launch
  })
}


shinyApp(ui, server)

Indeed. The real issue here is that I am still unsure what is happening.

This has been pointed out before, I have to change the documentation but have not found the time.
