r2d3 visualization working on Windows, not on Mac about r2d3 HOT 5 CLOSED

Solution, unfortunately, found. On Macs/Unix-based systems, you can't use the double backslash to refer to file references ("\"). You have to use forward slashes ("/"). So the solution for the above piece of code would be:

 r2d3(data = data_to_json(dat_sankey), script = "js_scripts/all_tabs.js", 
         d3_version = 5, 
         dependencies = c("js_scripts/sankey/d3-sankey.js",
                          "js_scripts/sankey/d3-sankey.min.js"),
         options = list("all_sig"=all_sig,
                        "sig_color"=unname(sig_color),
                        "no_sig_color"=no_sig_color,
                        "font_size" = font_size,
                        "which_camp" = "ont_map",
                        textcol_bg = textcol_bg,
                        togg_border = togg_border
         ))

Closing this issue (though hopefully some woefully unknowing windows user like me finds this helpful!).

Use forward slashes are valid on both Windows & Posix systems so is generally how all path references are composed in R.

If you're on windows, the above double backslashing reference would work (this is easier to add one backslash when copying references from windows). So this isn't well known for people like me, who work almost exclusively in a windows environment. But good to know for me for the future!

Wow, great to know about the "file.path" command! Thank you for the tip!
