Can only use Progress$new() inside a Shiny app

[tklejmont]

Hi folks,

I have a Shiny app that's retrieving data from BigQuery using DBI and bigrquery packages. When I try to run the app from RStudio IDE I get the following error:

Error message and error stack

> rlang::last_trace(drop = FALSE)
<error/rlang_error>
Error in `initialize()`:

This seems to happen during the time when a progress bar would be displayed in console to show data chunks being downloaded from BigQuery. If I limit the query to 10K rows which fits in a single chunk, the error will not come up. Does it somehow not identify that this is in fact a Shiny app? It runs fine when deployed to RStudio Connect.

Only showing the relevant code to authenticate to BQ and pull data:

library(DBI)
library(bigrquery)
library(config)

config <- config::get()

con <- dbConnect(
  bigrquery::bigquery(),
  project = config$project_id,
  dataset = config$dataset,
  billing = config$project_id
)

output <- dbGetQuery(con,"select * from table")
