JavaScript error caused by unescaped selector when used with Shiny bookmark feature

[fmannhardt]

Since recently, probably due to a Shiny update, I get the following JavaScript syntax error when using shinycssloaders:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #.bookmark
at Function.fa.error (jquery.min.js:2)
at fa.tokenize (jquery.min.js:2)
at fa.select (jquery.min.js:2)
at Function.fa [as find] (jquery.min.js:2)
at n.fn.init.find (jquery.min.js:2)
at new n.fn.init (jquery.min.js:2)
at n (jquery.min.js:2)
at show_spinner (spinner.js:5)
at update_spinner (spinner.js:23)
at HTMLDocument. (spinner.js:34)
init_shiny.js:314 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'normalCall' of undefined
at k (init_shiny.js:314)
init_shiny.js:381 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'normalCall' of undefined
at n (init_shiny.js:381)

A similar error was reported here:
rstudio/shinytest#161

So, probably it can be solved by escaping the IDs in a similar way in spinner.js.

I did not have the time to create a reproducible example, but here my session info:

Thanks for reporting this! I have copied the fix you referenced, could you try it by installing it via:

devtools::install_github("andrewsali/shinycssloaders@escape")

[fmannhardt]

Thanks with the fix it works for me now.

@andrewsali thanks for this great package.

I ran into this same issue, and your fix here resolved the issue. Do you plan to merge the "escape" branch with master? I can make the PR.

[andrewsali]

Yes, a PR would be appreciated, thanks!
