Deploying a shiny app to Posit Connect Cloud that uses Quarto

[durraniu]

I am using Posit Connect Cloud to deploy my shiny app that uses the quarto package. The app deploys successfully, but when I use it, I get this message in logs:

Warning: Error in find_quarto: Quarto command-line tools path not found!
Please make sure you have installed and added Quarto to your PATH or set the QUARTO_PATH environment variable.

I believe this is happening because quarto cli is not installed on the app instance. I tried providing quarto attributes in manifest.json:

"metadata": {
    "appmode": "shiny",
    "quarto_version": "1.5.57",
    "quarto_engines": {"knitr","markdown"},
    "primary_rmd": null,
    "primary_html": null,
    "content_category": null,
    "has_parameters": false
  }

However, that did not work. Is it not possible to use both quarto and shiny in a single project on Posit Connect Cloud? If it is possible, what do I need to do?
