Input object not available on initial render

[lanceupton]

Description

The input object corresponding to an excelOutput is not available after the initial render of the table, and before making any modifications to the table, or invalidating. It's almost like the input isn't binded until the output is invalidated at least once.

To Reproduce

In the included reprex:

1. Click the Invalidate Input button to invalidate the excelOutput block.
2. Observe that, as expected, the excelOutput renders.
3. Observe that, unexpectedly, the datatableOutput (which simply conducts the input object from the excelTable), does not render. This is a side effect of the input object not being available.
4. Click the Invalidate Input button to invalidate the excelOutput block again.
5. Observe that, as expected, both outputs render.

Reprex

library(shiny)
library(excelR)

shinyApp(
  ui = fluidPage(
    tags$br(),
    fluidRow(column(width = 12, actionButton("btn", "Invalidate Input"))),
    tags$hr(),
    fluidRow(
      column(width = 6, excelOutput("tab1")),
      column(width = 6, dataTableOutput("tab2"))
    )
  ),
  server = function(input, output, session) {
    input_data <- eventReactive(input$btn, sample(1:50, 10))
    output$tab1 <- renderExcel(excelTable(data.frame(vals = input_data())))
    excel_data <- reactive(excel_to_R(input$tab1))
    output$tab2 <- renderDataTable(excel_data())
  }
)
