leaflet map not rendering in Viewer

[lixinyao]

When I run the code on R leaflet tutorial, the Viewer is empty. When I click the zoom button, it is still empty. Here is the code:

library(leaflet)
m <- leaflet() %>%
  addTiles() %>%  # Add default OpenStreetMap map tiles
  addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R")
m  # Print the map

Here is the session_Info()

What should I do? Thanks!

args(leaflet::addTiles) returns

function (map, urlTemplate = "https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png", 
    attribution = NULL, layerId = NULL, group = NULL, options = tileOptions()) 
NULL

print(browse=TRUE, htmltools::img(src="https://www.google.com/images/logo.gif")) returns a blank pane

I was struggling with the same thing and bugget out. Turns out you can just add the default template from args() . The map only shows when you save the Widget. Or should it show within R? @lixinyao

m <- leaflet() %>%
  addTiles(urlTemplate = "https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png") %>%  
  addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R")
saveWidget(m, file = "mymap.html")

I too have the same problem I even updated Rstudio to the latest one. which is 1.0.153

a very simple code like this

leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>% # Add default OpenStreetMap map tiles
addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R")

Doesn't produce anything on Viewer but You have to switch to Browser to see the MAP. Which is turning out to be a Pain. Please Please plz FIX it.

[maxbre]

same issue here

following and further elaborating the above posted reproducibile example
strange enough black and white OSM is working fine where default OSM is not
RStudio Version 1.1.447

-------------------------------

leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap, group = "osm_default")%>%
addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap.BlackAndWhite, group = "osm_bw") %>%
addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R") %>%
addLayersControl(position='topleft',
baseGroups = c("osm_default", "osm_bw"),
options = layersControlOptions(collapsed = TRUE))
#--------------------

any hint to sort out that problem?

thank you

[schloerke]

@maxbre Can you please give me your devtools::session_info().

There is a known issue of RStudio and linux not working with https (See #526). This is fixed in the next version (1.2.x) of the IDE of RStudio. You can download the daily version here: https://dailies.rstudio.com/

I am seeing that OpenStreeMap is redirecting to use https (new to me).

Does it work if it is opened with the browser using

options(viewer = NULL)
leaflet() %>%
  ...

here it is my session info

by the way I sorted out the problem by installing the github version of leaflet

Keep issue open until RStudio releases 1.2.x as a regular download

[aaguilargonzalez]

@schloerke would this issue still persist for Shiny apps? I noticed markers would not show up when I uploaded my app to shinyapps.io using leaflet 2.0.0, but would run fine in latest RStudio IDE. I resolved the issue by downgrading to leaflet 1.1.0, but ideally would like to run leaflet 2.0.0 to use leaflet extras. Here's the app on shinyapps.io (https://aaguilargonzalez.shinyapps.io/Dashboard_V2/)

[schloerke]

@aaguilargonzalez
This is due to a bad cdn choice on my part. It is fixed in https://github.com/rstudio/leaflet/pull/544 (merged into github master).

I expect a release to CRAN this week.

[aaguilargonzalez]

@schloerke awesome, will keep an eye out for it thanks!

[schloerke]

@aaguilargonzalez Leaflet 2.0.1 is on cran. This should solve the marker issue.

Still keeping issue open until RStudio IDE 1.2.x is released.

Hi,

I have similar issue here but not sure if they are related.
My map won't show (either on viewer or browser) when the popup includes specific Chinese character.

Here's a example:

df <- read.csv(textConnection("
Name,Lat,Long
成功,23.02086,121.3315
成,23.02086,121.3315
"))

# not working 
leaflet(df[1,]) %>% addTiles() %>%
    addMarkers(~Long, ~Lat, popup=~Name)

# working
leaflet(df[2,]) %>% addTiles() %>%
    addMarkers(~Long, ~Lat, popup=~Name)

As you can see, the only difference between df[1,] and df[2,] is the value of the column Name.
As long as the character vector include the Chinese character "功", the map won't render in Viewer nor Browser.

here's the sessionInfo():

Morning All,

for me if i explicit to add a tiles with the function [addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap)](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/leaflet/versions/2.0.2/topics/addProviderTiles) show the map without problems.

Code example:

exe1 <- leaflet(DF) %>% 
    addCircles() %>% 
    # add layer to see map
    addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap)
exe1 

have nice day
MC

[maxbre]

openstreetmap 'black and white' not showing up whilst openstreetmap 'default' it does

any hint to sort out the problem?

-----------------------------------------

leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
#addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap)%>%
addProviderTiles(providers$OpenStreetMap.BlackAndWhite) %>%
addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R")

No map shown in viewer

r version: 4.0.0 (2020-04-24)
RStudio version: 1.2.5042
Code:

library(leaflet)
m <- leaflet() %>% addTiles()
m <- m %>% setView(7, 51, zoom = 11)
m

[jcheng5]

There’s an issue specifically with R 4.0.0 on RStudio for Windows that we’re tracking here: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/6737

[Renngurke731]

I am having the same problem. Running the code below in R 4.0.0 only produces a white viewer pane and the cooling fan starts going wild, but running the same code in R 3.6.3 works!

library(leaflet)
m <- leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>% # Add default OpenStreetMap map tiles
addMarkers(lng=174.768, lat=-36.852, popup="The birthplace of R")
m # Print the map
