Run Shiny app as a local job with API

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Preview versions of Rstudio (1.3.x) allow a user to run Shiny application as a local job. I cannot find any simple way to achieve this by any simple mean. It would be nice to offer new function in rstudioapi which can handle it the same way as the button in RStudio do. With rstudioapi::jobRunScript, it is easy to start the app, but it seems necessary to have separate Rscript. Why is not it possible to call, say, function directly, without the need of any separate file?
