r - Error in as.data.frame.default: cannot coerce class "c("reactiveExpr", "reactive")" to a data.frame in Shiny

Question

I am having an issue with creating a data frame from a reactive in Shiny. The app allows a user to upload some data hence the dataset is reactive. It will then allow the user to select the input and output variables which will be passed onto a regression and a plot is generated. I keep getting an error stating:

Error in as.data.frame.default: cannot coerce class "c("reactiveExpr", "reactive")" to a data.frame

I believe that its coming from my d.f variable which is supposed to be a dataframe of the user uploaded data. I have not been able to secure a workaround after scouring the internet. Any help would be appreciated. The code so far is below.

library(shiny)
library(triangle)
library(readxl)
library(leaps)
library(coefplot)
library(relaimpo)
library(data.table)
library(XLConnect)
library(xlsx)

ui <- fluidPage(

  titlePanel("Hi"),
  sidebarLayout(position = "left",
                sidebarPanel(
                  conditionalPanel(condition = "input.tabs1==1",
                                   tags$style(type='text/css', ".well { max-width: 20em; }"),
                                   # Tags:
                                   tags$head(
                                     tags$style(type="text/css", "select[multiple] { width: 100%; height:10em}"),
                                     tags$style(type="text/css", "select { width: 100%}"),
                                     tags$style(type="text/css", "input { width: 19em; max-width:100%}")

As Chi Pak has mentioned, reactive expressions must contain () at the end. Changing d.f to d.f() fixes the issue.
