savewidget from htmlwidget in R , cannot save html file in another folder

Question

I have a map leaflet that I want to save in an html file in a specific folder. I am using Windows 7.

I tried the following :

library(htmlwidgets)
sav         


        

Answer 1

Agreed.

here is a workaround:

f<-"ressources\\test.html"
saveWidget(map_leaflet,file.path(normalizePath(dirname(f)),basename(f)))

The issues appear to be that saveWidget does not work with relative pathnames and normalizePath does not work for paths to files that done exist yet.

I would call this a bug in saveWidget.

edit:

I have contribute what I think is an even better workaround to an existing open issue
