"lexical error" using writeManifest() with quarto

i am trying to update a published quarto doc on our posit connect server. when i try to update the manifest using rsconnect::writeManifest() i get the error below.

I specify appDir because my project has 3 published documents, each in their own parent folder. This wasn't an issue initially, but i suspect is now causing the error because the problem text in the error message is contained in a quarto doc in a different folder called make-predictions/.

in my troubleshooting i ran quarto inspect in my terminal and received no error.

Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot?

i am using quarto 1.6.37, quarto package version ‘1.4.4’ and rsconnect version ‘1.3.1’.

767.25 MB ❯ main ❯ rsconnect::writeManifest(appDir = "monitor-predictions", verbose = TRUE)

Can you try specifying a vector of files instead of a folder?
