banana.gif not dancing

[Patrikios]

Hi,
I am on firewall regulated network, so online access to js dependencies might be an issue. I cannot make the gifs to animate. The .gif is located in the www folder.
The example that you provide, my fav - the dancing banana, the banana just sits statically in the top right corner.
The ffox console is showing:
freezeframe.js : image not done processing ! banana.gif

Any idea what would work?

Hello,
Are you using the dancing banana from here : https://jeroen.github.io/images/banana.gif or from www ?
This message generally appear when images is not available.

The gif is saved locally in the www folder of the shiny app directory.

What code did you use ?

[Patrikios]

Something along these lines:

ui <- tagList(
  useShinydashboard(),
  shinybusy::add_busy_gif(src = "banana.gif", height = 40, width = 40),
  tags$head(
                    ...),
  tags$style(
                    ...),
  navbarPage(id = "menus", ...

Everything seems fine, what browser do you use ? Have you tried with an another gif ? Can you try :

library(shiny)
library(shinybusy)

ui <- fluidPage(
  add_busy_gif(
    src = logo_silex(),
    height = 100, width = 100
  ),
  actionButton("sleep", "After pressing the button, GIF should spin")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  observeEvent(input$sleep, {
    Sys.sleep(5)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
