This PR does a few things that are needed for testing file downloads:
shiny:filedownload
event in Javascript. The event object contains the ID of the downloadButton/Link. It does not contain the href, because it changes each time the application is run (if the ID isdownloadData
, the link looks something likesession/4b3259d8737d682d272e02ecc3faba5e/download/downloadData?w=
).markOutputAttrs
, which can be used to mark the object returned from a render function (which is a reactive) with an attribute. When the reactive is assigned to an output value, the attribute will be copied to the corresponding observer.downloadHandlers
so that their values are not snapshotted. As mentioned above, the value -- the href -- changes with each run of the application, so it doesn't make sense to snapshot it for testing.
