Issue publishing to rpubs

RStudio IDE
, ,

I'm knitting an R script to HTML and it shows up fine in the preview. I go to publish to rpubs via rstudio and rather than a login screen I'm given an html file in my text editor:

Title of the file says something about a claim. Anybody have an idea what this might be caused by and how to fix it?

I'm working on a pared down unix on a computing cluster, and this is the only place I've run into issues publishing to rpubs.

Edit Nov 5, 2020:

Joe, thanks for the response. I think you are right about the browser configuration. I've managed a workaround by knitting to html on the remote machine, using scp to copy the .html file to my local machine, and uploading the rpub in the typical way via rstudio.

I'll have to take a look into the system config with regards to browsers.

@Bryan_Brick, sorry for the late reply. I think this might be happening because the system you're on isn't configured to launch a browser on utils::browseURL(). (I'm assuming by "text editor" you don't mean the editor in RStudio, but rather the default text editor program on your system?)

If you can't fix the system configuration, you can dig out the relevant URL yourself; in this case, it's /publish/claim/678726/5d27d16e81d248e49c044f0a7c4c1966, just add "https://rpubs.com" to the beginning of that. (You won't be able to claim this specific doc though, I accidentally navigated to that URL while writing this response and since I was already logged into rpubs it automatically claimed it. Sorry about that, I immediately deleted it obviously.)
