Publish a quarto blog to netlify from RStudio cloud?

[elizabeths]

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

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.

Hi there,

I've opened an issue with quarto to investigate this further:

Unable to publish to netilfy from RStudio Cloud
