Maximum upload size exceeded when running local

[jeremylu43]

Hi,

I'm running ThinkCausal locally from Rstudio and I am attempting to upload a .CSV which is around 29 MB. It says "Maximum upload size exceeded".
"Help me" says "If you are using the weblink, upload files are limited to 10mb. If you are using thinkCausal locally, this does not apply." Is there any way to get around this issue?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi @jeremylu43 -

It looks like you're getting blocked by Shiny's default upload size limit. You can easily adjust this by running options() before launching thinkCausal:

max_size_in_mb <- 30
options(shiny.maxRequestSize=max_size_in_mb*1024^2)
thinkCausal::run_app()

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

@gperrett The help menu is misleading as thinkCausal doesn't automatically recognize when its running locally and therefore adjust the upload size limit. We should either adjust the help menu or somehow implement this logic. Let me know what you think.

Here's the line that sets the size limit.

Thanks @joemarlo! Changing the max size for Shiny worked
