I got handed over a multiple-file Shiny project with custom css and the repo is a mess (I have no session info whatsoever). After fixing most bugs, I am stuck at this:

"This Font Awesome icon ('gears') does not exist"

Searching for the button, I could not find it in any of the files in the repo (CTRL + SHIFT + F yielded no results). The hosted app does not have a visible gears icon anywhere, it is however referenced in the web element "navbar sidebar-toggle" (found via Chrome dev tools). What I tried (as proposed here):

  • Re-reference it with the correct icon name: impossible as it is not actively referenced (& Font Awesome has a "gears" icon)
  • Downgrading shinydashboardPlus: did not work

I am lost - any hints on how to fix an error like that?

Usually this warning comes from the icon() function. Assuming you really went over ALL files in your repo (not only a subfolder but all the files from the root, like the ui.R if you have one), then it's really hard to tell what is prompting the warning... However, this is only what it is: a warning. Your app should function well even if you see it printed in your console. For what it's worth, I think you should dissociate the warning from the following error. Maybe try instead to search where comes the error for the missing output object (Maybe another Ctrl-Shift-F?). Good luck!
