Our webpage was published successfully for months, even through changes to the codebase. The site is connected to a github repo, so a redeploy is triggered every push to that branch. We have it specified to publish from the /docs folder (we do a render before push) and since the initial deploy, the logs have been brief. (see below)
then after it installs a non-CRAN package (which it says it installed successfully) - the build/publish fails with a uninterpretable error message.
Q1. What does this error message mean?
Q2. Why is it seeming to try to build and render the site from scratch now?
Disclosure - this is a private github repo but we are paying for the Basic plan to allow for this
Addendum: We also reverted the codebase to the most recent successful deploy, but it is still trying to re-run the quarto files and render the site.
Thank you, that is indeed the id. It looks like you have run into a bug on our system. I will let the team know and fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for letting us know. So sorry you are getting hit by this.
As a possible workaround so you don't have to wait for anything on our side, can you try using the UI to change the content type to Static and republishing the content?
Assuming you mean the posit cloud connect website as the "UI", I don't know how to do that. I don't see any type of setting resembling that option. We have set "appmode": "quarto-static", in the manifest file, and on a successful build it recognized that the primary file was in the docs folder, so it should be a static build.
To update your content from Quarto to Static you will want to do the following:
You will need to log into the Connect Cloud website. Once you are logged in, you should be shown a list of content for your account. You will then want to locate your Quarto document in the list and go to the document’s settings by clicking the More Actions menu … and then clicking the Settings menu option.
Once you are at the document’s settings, you can click the Source navigation menu item and change the Framework from Quarto to Static. To save those changes you have to click the Republish button at the bottom of the screen.
That worked! This may be the more appropriate method to deploy our site with anyhow since it's not interactive and it must be rendered locally. Thank you!
