revealjs fails with generating mapview objects when chrome.exe is blocked. Any work arounds?

[ejjunju]

i am making a revealjs presentation with a slide that has mapview /leaflet maps. Unfortunately i cant render it because it seems a process that depends on chrome.exe must be called and chrome is blocked at work as a policy. Is there a wrok around that avoids calling chrome.exe?

This error only happens with format: revealjs but not with format: html. I am using Rstudio and R

my code chunk that produces the error

library(sf)
library(mapview)
library(leaflet)
library(mapedit)
library(leaflet.extras )

s20<-st_read("../Beregning v01/20/Flomsone_20arsflom.shp",quiet=TRUE)
s50<-st_read("../Beregning v01/50/Flomsone_50arsflom.shp",quiet=TRUE)
s200<-st_read("../Beregning v01/200/Flomsone_200arsflom.shp",quiet=TRUE)

s20$value<-40 #% T=20 L=10
s200$value<- 5 #%  T=200 L=10
s50$value<-18 # % T= 50 L=10

m<-mapview(s20,col.regions="cyan",zcol="value",alpha.regions=0.1,col="cyan") +
  mapview(s50,col.regions="blue",zcol="value",alpha.regions=0.1,col="blue") +
  mapview(s200,col.regions="red",zcol="value",alpha.regions=0.1,col="red")

m@map<-m@map

This error only happens with format: revealjs but not with format: html.

Are you using Quarto ? .qmd extension ? Does your YAML looks like

format: revealjs

You did not share full source code example so hard to know.

This is the repo for the R Package which is not used by Quarto. This R package is used with

output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation

thanks for additional information
