Reactable with footer works locally but not on Posit Connect

This app works locally, but not when deployed to the shiny server.

library(shiny)
library(digest)
library(reactable)

ui <- fluidPage(
  mainPanel(
    reactableOutput("rt")
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {

  output$rt <- renderReactable({
    rmt <- reactable(mtcars[1:3,],
                     columns = list(
                       mpg = colDef(footer = 'A')
                     ))
    print(digest(rmt))
    print(sessionInfo())
    return(rmt)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

The problem is the footer. Comment it out and it works on the Shiny sever.

• The digest is the same locally and on the server. I think this proves that the exact same reactable is being generated on the server as locally.
• I have other shiny apps deployed on this server that use the same footer and they work fine.
• Running the server locally (inside rstudio IDE), but using an external browser works.
• I don't see the table code generated when I right-click inspect element.
• Deployment is on posit connect via 'Import from Git'
• using renv

This is a known bug in reactR 0.6.0 which impacts reactable see:

https://github.com/react-R/reactR/issues/86 and https://github.com/glin/reactable/issues/388

Fix this by using reactR 0.5.0 until they fix it.
