Is it possible to publish a quarto blog to netlify from RStudio cloud?

My Rstudio cloud project of the example blog is: https://rstudio.cloud/content/4302652

The error I receive is:

/cloud/project/myblog$ quarto publish netlify
? Authorize (Y/n) › Yes
[3159:3159:0727/213735.233585:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(247)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY

The sample blog published from my desktop version of RStudio using the same command (quarto publish netlify) in the terminal (here).

Thanks for any help!

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble publishing to Quarto Pubs on RStudio Cloud.

It looks like quarto is trying to open a local web browser, which doesn't work on RStudio Cloud.

Can you try publishing using the --no-browser option?

quarto publish --no-browser

If this resolves the issue, I'll file a bug with quarto to get that fixed.

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I tried

quarto publish --no-browser netlify

and received the same errors.

I made my cloud project https://rstudio.cloud/content/4302652 public.

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_ RS_RPOSTBACK_PATH=/usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rpostback RS_SESSION_TMP_DIR=/var/run/rstudio-server/rstudio-rsession RS_SERVER_RPC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/rstudio-server/rstudio-rserver/session-server-rpc.socket RS_SERVER_LOCAL_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/rstudio-server/rstudio-rserver/rserver.socket RS_MONITOR_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/rstudio-server/rstudio-rserver/rserver-monitor.socket RS_SERVER_TMP_DIR=/var/run/rstudio-server/rstudio-rserver ``` Example project running on RStudio Cloud: https://rstudio.cloud/content/4302652 ### `quarto check` Output ```block /cloud/project/myblog$ quarto check [✓] Checking Quarto installation......OK Version: 1.0.35 Path: /opt/quarto/1.0.35/bin [✓] Checking basic markdown render....OK [✓] Checking Python 3 installation....OK Version: 3.8.10 Path: /usr/bin/python3 Jupyter: (None) Jupyter is not available in this Python installation.
