quarto extensions and Quarto Pub

[libjohn]

Is it possible to publish a quarto website to Quarto Pub while using quarto extensions?

I've got a website that is using the fontawesome extension available on the Quarto Extensions page. It renders fine locally, and I can upload the rendered site to Netlify. When I use the terminal command quarto publish quarto-pub, I get this error:

Error running filter C:/../Quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:

What version of Quarto are you using ? Also what version of the extension ?

There is a recent one you should update to be used with recent Quarto Releases · quarto-ext/fontawesome · GitHub

Thanks @cderv for the tip, and libjohn for posting!
I have the same problem I think. I am working in the latest RStudio Desktop, and using the fontawesome extension 1.1.0 (so the latest one available afaik) when I click on "Render" for the Quarto website, then I get

Error running filter /Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/Resources/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:
../_extensions/quarto-ext/fontawesome/fontawesome.lua:63: attempt to call a nil value (field 'is_format')

	...Resources/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:3024: in function 'transformShortcodeInlines'

I tried to update the extension, but since there is no newer version, that does not help.

Yes this is the latest one that should have the fix for this issue

lua errors when trying to render revealjs with fontawesome extension

I am surprised this does not work.

Which is the version of Quarto you have ?

Can you share an example file ?

(and sorry for the delay on this)

Oddly enough, Microsoft Teams crashed and I had to reboot my computer. It works now. I've not changed anything on the install.
