I have a shiny app that has a leaflet map in it with two different polygons. The leaflet map was working all good and fine until I updated my leaflet package to 2.0.1. Now when I run the app... the polygons aren't getting plotted and there are no errors being thrown at me. I have looked around and haven't found anything that fixes my problem. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me some guidance or point me in the right direction!

Code:

### Read in shapefiles ###
NJ_Map_Road<-st_read(getwd(),layer="2014_NJ_Integrated_Report_AU")
Impaired_HUCS<-st_read(getwd(),layer = "Impaired_HUCS_Shapefile")
### Change projection to work with leaflet ###
map_df <- st_transform(NJ_Map_Road, crs="+init=epsg:4326")

Digging a bit more, the problem seems related to the fact that ms_simplify() adds names to the geometry column:

polys_sf<-st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf") ) %>% 
 st_transform(crs="+init=epsg:4326") %>% 
 ms_simplify(.)

names(st_geometry(polys_sf))

 [1] "0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" "13" "14" "15" "16" "17" "18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25"
 [27] "26" "27" "28" "29" "30" "31" "32" "33" "34" "35" "36" "37" "38" "39" "40" "41" "42" "43" "44" "45" "46" "47" "48" "49" "50" "51"
 [53] "52" "53" "54" "55" "56" "57" "58" "59" "60" "61" "62" "63" "64" "65" "66" "67" "68" "69" "70" "71" "72" "73" "74" "75" "76" "77"
 [79] "78" "79" "80" "81" "82" "83" "84" "85" "86" "87" "88" "89" "90" "91" "92" "93" "94" "95" "96" "97" "98" "99"

as suggested in https://github.com/r-spatial/sf/issues/880#issuecomment-435304536, removing the names will solve the issue. Therefore, this works:

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(leaflet)
library(sf)
library(rmapshaper)
### Read in shapefiles ###
polys_sf<-st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf") ) %>% 
 st_transform(crs="+init=epsg:4326") %>% 
 ms_simplify(.)

names(st_geometry(polys_sf)) = NULL

ui<- dashboardPage(
 header = dashboardHeader(),
 sidebar = dashboardSidebar(),
 body = dashboardBody(
 box(width=12,leafletOutput("leaf"))))
### Server ###
server<- function(input,output,session)
 ### This creates interactive map ###
 output$leaf<- renderLeaflet(
 leaflet(options = leafletOptions(minZoom = 7))%>%
 addPolygons(data= polys_sf)
 )


shinyApp(ui,server)

, while if you comment out the names(st_geometry(polys_sf)) = NULL line the polygons are not shown.

HTH!

(BTW, as a sidenote/suggestion: building a minimal reproducible example based on "test" datasets available in "R" packages can help both in pinpointing the problem and in allowing others to easily reproduce/understand it.
