Description
Hello,
Currently, if you have a navBarPage or a page_navbar and you do an insertTab or insert_nav in the following situation, the navbar's input$id variable does not take into account inserted panels.
I couldn't find a way to explain the problem without using a video.
The error was caught when the app is deployed to Posit Connect. As seen in the video at 1 second, I have a navBar which has three navs (Nav 0 is inserted into ui at initialization and the others via nav_insert) and when one of the navs is clicked it throws an alert with the name of the active nav. This was done by looking at the input$id of the navbar which in this case is called input$test and sending a message to js via session$sendCustomMessage.
At 11 seconds I go to another web page and return to the app with the browser arrows before Posit Connect kills the process. When I go back to the app I see that clicking on all the navs returns the name.
The problem: At 21 seconds I go to another web page and wait for Posit Connect to finish the process. In the second 47 I return to the application with the arrows of the browser. When I go back to the app I see that clicking on nav 1 and nav 2 does not return the name.

Here is the application code:
library(shiny)
library(bslib)
ui <- page_navbar(
id = "test",
title = "Test Insert Navs",
header = tagList(
htmltools::tags$script(
"Shiny.addCustomMessageHandler('active_nav', function(data) {",
"alert(data.value);",
"});",
)
),
nav(
"Nav 0"
)
)
server <- function(input, output,session) {
nav_insert(id = "test", nav = nav(
"Nav 1"
), select = FALSE)
nav_insert(id = "test", nav = nav(
"Nav 2"
), select = FALSE)
observeEvent(input$test,{
session$sendCustomMessage(
type = "active_nav",
message = list(value = input$test)
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)Next I leave the information of the computer from where the application was deployed.
