fmt_number() not working with opt_interactive()

[laresbernardo]

Similar to issue #1429, fmt_number() is not working with opt_interactive(), displaying a white output with no table.

Reproducible example with gt v0.11.1:

gt::towny |>
  gt::gt() |>
  gt::fmt_number()

gt::towny |>
  gt::gt() |>
  gt::fmt_number() |>
  gt::opt_interactive()

Also, tested with v0.9.0, same outcome.

Funny thing is that in my local RStudio it is working as expected but in Posit Connect RStudio instance is not. Sharing my sessionInfo() from the Posit Connect's session:

Hi ! This actually is the same as #1835.

I seethat some of your packages are outdated, In this case, reactR 0.6.0 should be updated to 0.6.1.

[laresbernardo]

Is there a way to add this requirement to the DESCRIPTION file, even though it's not a direct (import) dependency? I believe the path is gt > reactable> htmlwidgets > reactR. I guess adding reactR as a dependency with the >=0.6.1 requirement would be a viable solution, but maybe there's a better way.

[olivroy]

This would be a feature request for the reactable package (on which gt depends on)! Feel free to open a PR / issue there.

The path is gt -> reactable -> reactR

[laresbernardo]

Requirement reactR >= 0.6.1 in reactable landed in main branch as v0.4.4.9000.

[olivroy]

This is great! We can depend on reactable >= 0.4.5 when it hits CRAN! But it is always a good idea to use the latest version of packages!
