Plotly graph not displaying in Shiny when running app first time, but show up subsequently

Hi,

I am having difficulty getting plotly graphs to show up in Shiny. What I have noticed is that the plots do not show up the first time I run the app, but then show up subsequently. I used the following example as an illustration: https://plot.ly/r/shinyapp-plotly-events/

I had installed the CRAN version of Plotly, but I uninstalled it, and installed the latest devtools version instead (plotly_4.9.0.9000).

My session info is:

I faced the exact same issue. I used a workaround.
I was earlier launching the app from cmd prompt: rscript.exe tool.R
I, now, changed it to 2 steps. I created a run.R which had the following command:

library(shiny)
runApp(“tool.R”)

I, then, launched it like this: rscript.exe run.R
It works now
