Hi I have a simple R shiny app. Whenever I try and download the table I created I get the following error: pandoc: Cannot decode byte '\xfe': Data.Text.Internal.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream Warning: Error in : pandoc document conversion failed with error 1 Stack trace (innermost first): 53: pandoc_convert 52: convert 51: rmarkdown::render 50: download$func [/home/scotcan1/Webshot/app.R#50] 1: shiny::runApp Error : pandoc document conversion failed with error 1 I don't know what this means. Here is my R/Shiny script and Rmarkdown. *R:* library(shiny) library(DT) data(iris) ui <- fluidPage( titlePanel("|Species Table"), sidebarLayout( sidebarPanel( selectInput("specs", "Number of bins:", unique(iris$Species)), downloadButton("download", "Download Report") ), mainPanel( tableOutput("specTable") ) ) ) server <- function(input, output) { subSpec <- function(x){ testdat <- iris[iris$Species == x, ] return(testdat[1:10,]) } reactiveFunction <- reactive({ subSpec(input$specs) }) output$reactiveTable <- renderDataTable({ reactiveFunction() }, rownames = FALSE) output$specTable <- renderUI({ dataTableOutput("reactiveTable") }) output$download <- downloadHandler( filename <- "report_file.html", content <- function(file){ write.csv(reactiveFunction(), "test_csv.csv", row.names = FALSE) params <- list(data = reactiveFunction()) rmarkdown::render(filename, output_file = file) } ) } shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server) *Rmarkdown:* --- title: "Untitled" output: html_document params: data: NA --- ```{r, echo=FALSE} data(iris) library(DT) datatable(params$data) ``` Any help to interpret the error appreciated.
