Language selection dropdown missing

[gacolitti]

When I run the code provided in the example below, the dropdown menu to select a language is missing.

if (interactive()) {
    
    library("shiny")
    library("shi18ny")
    
    ui <- fluidPage(
        tags$h1("shiny internationalization"),
        
        br(),
        # Initialize shi18ny
        useShi18ny(),
        
        # Language selector input
        langSelectorInput("lang", position = "fixed"),
        
        # UI elements
        # Text can be translated directly from the UI, using the ui_ function:
        h1(ui_("hello")),
        # OR by using uiOutput:
        uiOutput("results")
        
    )
    
    server <- function(input, output, session) {
        # Configure shi18ny
        i18n <- list(
            defaultLang = "en",
            availableLangs = c("es", "en", "pt")
        )
        
        # Call language module to get currently selected language and save it in a reactive
        lang <- callModule(langSelector, "lang", i18n = i18n, showSelector = TRUE)
        
        # Update UI translation
        observeEvent(lang(),{
            uiLangUpdate(input$shi18ny_ui_classes, lang())
        })
        
        # Render translations by passing the text and the active (selected) language as the lang() parameter to the i_ function
        output$results <- renderUI({
            list(
                h1(i_("world", lang())), 
                br(), 
                h4(i_("language", lang()))
            )
        })
    }
    
    shinyApp(ui, server)
    
}

Hi, yep, sorry about that, we found a bug in the inter operability with other packages so we removed temporarily the language selector, please install the version before 37da04c while we work on the issue.
We will also be revamping the site a package versioning so we are more clear about these changes

[gacolitti]

Thanks for your response!

I tried using a previous version, but I'm still getting the same behavior.

I used the commit before 37da04c:
remotes::install_github("datasketch/shi18ny", ref = "b4f2fe2eed80e459c48e975e694698b0b2fdcf24")

I face the same issue too. Yes, even with the download before 37da04c, it doesn't work. Can I know which version will work?
I got the error message below:
Listening on http://127.0.0.1:5959

selected2 en config en

@jpmarindiaz - any update on fixing the language selector dropdown issue? I just ran that exact same code on your website and am still having the same issue as the original poster.

[jpmarindiaz]

Sorry, we haven't had time to maintain the package in a while, probably won't fix it in the next coming months, if you fix it feel free to submit a PR

[jebyrnes]

Just checking to see if this was ever fixed.

FYI

remotes::install_github("datasketch/shi18ny", 
                        ref = "59df31affe0f7da998e10adeda3316f9363305c7")

works

@jebyrnes Thanks for pointing out the working version. We are currently working in other packages and will come back to this one later this year
