Quarto dashboard deploy fails with "Unable to download package stringi from GitHub"

Posit Professional & Hosted Products Connect Cloud (Alpha)

I'm experimenting with Posit Connect Cloud, and trying to deploy this repo: GitHub - os-maintenance/arrowdash

However, it's failing with the error "Unable to download package stringi from GitHub"

I tried it on a simpler repo, using the report.qmd from the docs, and chucked in a call to library(stringi) there and then rebuilt my manifest file. That also failed to build, but when I updated my local stringi installation to be PPM instead of GitHub and rebuilt the manifest file, it then worked fine.

Hi Nic,

Thank you for checking out Posit Connect Cloud. You are correct that installing the package from GitHub is not working at the moment. We have created a ticket to investigate this behavior. Hopefully we can address that soon.

And great troubleshooting since as you mentioned, the installation process will work if it is done via Posit Package Manager.

Thanks for the feedback,
Zak
