App fails when retrieving data that is unexpected

[efcaguab]

This can happen when the pipeline is updated or there is something wrong with the data. To fix this the app and entering data needs to be tested before deployment

Hey @efcaguab are you referring to that kind of error below? I was trying to return the shiny app in more languages using https://appsilon.com/rapid-internationalization-of-shiny-apps-shiny-i18n-version-0-2/ and I'm getting this:

Yes that's right. The problem arises due to the app trying to retrieve the latest "public" data from the development bucket but that might or might not have the revenue data into it.

Some branches in the pipeline do not have that info so the app might fail. A temporary solution is to run the pipeline in development from one of the branches that do produce that column and then generate the package data again. If the revenue code is already in the main branch (cannot remember) we can then change bucket to production instead of dev.
