I'm trying to get help on a quarto document (Kable table with links showing raw markdown code in quarto file ) and want to show the resulting html files on the web to get help.
I can't seem to login to quarto.pub (using github) using firefox, but I can in chrome (not my default browser).
Since Chrome is not my default browser, I can't publish from rstudio to quarto.pub.
So either A) what's going on with firefox, or B) can i tell quarto pub to use chrome?
OR is it because i'm trying to publish to quarto.pub from RStudio cloud?
Hi there,
Can you share a screenshot of the error you get when attempting to publish to quarto.pub from RStudio Cloud?
Thanks
You are also welcome to login to this project and see for yourself: RStudio Cloud
This looks really similar to an issue that I opened with quarto-cli:

I believe the issue is that quarto is not detecting the RStudio Workbench (Prairie Trillium) environment correctly when quarto is invoked from the terminal. See https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/blob/90c7f3ba42ffdae3c2b13ad3d1814f8aaaa14b9f/src/core/platform.ts#L32:L35
The issue may be that the expected ENV vars are not present in the terminal session, so quarto is attempting to open a native browser window which fails due to lacking a display.
```
/cloud/project/myblog$ env | grep RS_
