What happened?

I have a bunch of events auto-generated by DT which are all in a single module. I would like to ignore them, when I noticed that usage of excluded_inputs_regex has no effect.

I looked into the code, and it seems to me that the reason is in string escaping here.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a simple app with a datatable and log file data storage
2. start telemetry session with track_inputs = FALSE
3. explicitly log all events with exclude regex
4. check the log file to find all the excluded events still being tracked

Expected behavior

Should not see excluded events.

  ),
  server = function(input, output) {
    telemetry$start_session(track_inputs = FALSE)
    telemetry$log_all_inputs(excluded_inputs_regex = "^table*")
    output$table <- renderDT({
      data <- datasets::mtcars
      datatable(data)
    })
  }
)
