awesomeCheckboxGroup errors when colon in choices

[KapLDN]

Hey there,

I have encountered an issue when using awesomeCheckboxGroup. When the choices have a colon (':'), my shiny app crashes. Here is a minimal example comparing prettyCheckboxGroup and awesomeCheckboxGroup. When awesomeCheckboxGroup is commented out, the application runs fine:

library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)
ui <- fluidPage(
  prettyCheckboxGroup("prettycheckbox",
                      label = "Pretty",
                      choices = c("A : 1", "A : 2")),
  awesomeCheckboxGroup("awesomecheckbox",
                       label = "Awesome",
                       choices = c("A : 1", "A : 2")),
  textOutput("pretty_out"),
  textOutput("awesome_out")
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$pretty_out <- renderText({input$prettycheckbox})
  output$awesome_out <- renderText({input$awesomecheckbox})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:5139
Warning: Error in <Anonymous>: No handler registered for type awesomecheckboxA : 1

Error in (function (name, val, shinysession)  : 
  No handler registered for type awesomecheckboxA : 1

Happy to provide session info if required.

Many thanks!
