shinyjs causes shinytest failures with GHA

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am using shinytest for snapshot testing with Github Actions and it appears that even with setting a seed as in:

app <- ShinyDriver$new("../../", seed = 1234, loadTimeout = 1e+05)
app$snapshotInit("snapshot-test")

shinyjs still produces random values that causes the testing to fail as in:

diff ..//tests/shinytest/snapshot-test-expected/007.json ..//tests/shinytest/snapshot-test-current/007.json

am i missing something or is there a workaround?

Thank you

That makes sense, as the current time is used for hashing to make it extremely unlikely to have collisions. Can you set to ignore specific inputs with a regex?
