rsconnect 1.3.3

CRAN release: 2024-11-19

  • Avoid “legacy” time zone names in tests, as they are not available by default in all environments. Addresses CRAN test failures. (#1115)

rsconnect 1.3.2

CRAN release: 2024-10-28

  • Primary Quarto document detection only considers .R, .Rmd, and .qmd as end-of-file extensions. Previously, a file with .R elsewhere in its name, such as .Rprofile, was incorrectly considered. (#1106)

  • Use the repository name identified by renv when available.packages() does not enumerate the package, which occurs for archived packages. (#1110)

  • Remove remaining directory layout validation check. (#1102)

  • Use the public Connect server API endpoint /v1/tasks/{id} to poll task progress. (#1088)

rsconnect 1.3.1

CRAN release: 2024-06-04

  • Skip tests when packages “foreign” and “MASS” are not available. (#1081)

rsconnect 1.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-05-24

  • deployApp(logLevel = "quiet") suppresses Posit Connect deployment task output. (#1051)

  • deployApp(logLevel = "quiet") and writeManifest(quiet=TRUE) suppress output when using renv to analyze dependencies. (#1051)

  • deployApp() and writeManifest() receive the default value for the image argument from the RSCONNECT_IMAGE environment variable. (#1063)

  • deployTF() can deploy a TensorFlow model to Posit Connect. Requires Posit Connect 2024.05.0 or higher.

  • Skip tests when suggested packages are not available. Skip Quarto tests when run by CRAN. (#1074)

rsconnect 1.2.2

CRAN release: 2024-04-04

  • Use internally computed SHA1 sums and PKI signing when SHA1 is disabled in FIPS mode. (#768, #1054)

  • Allow Quarto content with a rendered script as its primary target. (#1055)

rsconnect 1.2.1

CRAN release: 2024-01-31

  • Restore the LC_TIME locale after computing an RFC-2616 date. (#1035)
  • Address a problem inspecting Quarto content when the file names and paths needed to be quoted. The resulting manifest lacked information about the Quarto runtime, which caused difficult-to-understand deployment errors. (#1037)
  • Produce an error when Quarto content cannot be inspected. (#1032)

rsconnect 1.2.0

CRAN release: 2023-12-15

  • Addressed a number of republishing and collaboration issues where the content was incorrectly published to a new location rather than reusing an existing deployment. (#981, #1007, #1013, #1019)

  • showLogs(), configureApp(), setProperty(), and unsetProperty() search for the application by name when there are no matching deployment records. (#985, #989)

  • rpubsUpload() correctly records the initial RPubs destination, allowing republishing. (#976)

  • deployApp() and friends record multi-value metadata entries as comma-separated values. (#1017)

  • accountInfo() includes name and username fields. Older versions of rsconnect store account records with a username field. Recent rsconnect versions record name. Both name and username should contain the same value. (#1024)

rsconnect 1.1.1

CRAN release: 2023-10-04

  • Added space parameter to deploy directly to a space in Posit Cloud.

  • Improve reporting of errors returned by shinyapps.io. (#997)

  • Remove most directory layout validation checks. (#998)

  • Do not use getOption("available_packages_filters") option when calling available.packages(). (#1002)

  • Packages installed from source within an renv project are not associated with repositories. (#1004)

rsconnect 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2023-09-05

  • Fixed analysis of directories that were smaller than the rsconnect.max.bundle.files=10000 limit but larger than the renv.config.dependencies.limit=1000 limit. (#968)

  • Ignore .env, .venv, and venv files only when they reference Python virtual environments. (#972)

  • deployApp() and writeManifest() accept optional envManagement, envManagementR, and envManagementPy arguments. These args specify whether Posit Connect should install packages in the package cache. If envManagement is FALSE then Connect will not perform any package installation and it is the administrator’s responsibility to ensure the required R/Python packages are available in the runtime environment. This is especially useful if off-host execution is enabled, when the execution environment (specified by the image argument) already contains the required packages. These values are ignored when Applications.ManifestEnvironmentManagementSelection = false. Requires Posit Connect >=2023.07.0. (#977)

  • Fix account discovery by showProperties(). (#980)

rsconnect 1.0.2

CRAN release: 2023-08-17

  • Fixed redeployments to shinyapps.io where appName is provided, but no local record of the deployment exists. (#932)

  • deployApp() and writeManifest() now error if your library and renv.lock are out-of-sync. Previously it always used what was defined in the renv.lock but that was (a) slow and (b) could lead to different results than what you see when running locally (#930).

  • Deploying from an renv project includes the renv.lock in the bundle. A manifest created for an renv project references the renv.lock in the manifest.json. (#926)

  • Use the environment variable RSCONNECT_PACKRAT to analyze dependencies using packrat, as was done prior to rsconnect-1.0.0. Use of the rsconnect.packrat option is discouraged, as it is not effective when using push-button deployment in the RStudio IDE. (#935)

  • The renv.lock is ignored when the RSCONNECT_PACKRAT environment variable or the rsconnect.packrat option is set. (#936)

  • The content type is inferred by analyzing the set of top-level files. (#942)

  • deployApp() and writeManifest() accept an optional appMode argument. Provide this argument if your project includes auxiliary files which mislead the existing appMode inference. For example, if an HTML project includes a downloadable Shiny app.R, that content will be assumed to be a Shiny application even if that application is not meant to be run. (#948)

  • appDependencies() accepts an appFileManifest argument as an alternate way of providing the target set of files.

rsconnect 1.0.1

CRAN release: 2023-07-20

  • deployDoc() includes .Rprofile, requirements.txt and renv.lock when deploying .Rmd or .qmd. These additional files are not included with rendered HTML documents. (#919)

  • Explicit renv dependencies are preserved. (#916)

rsconnect 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2023-07-17

New features

  • deployApp() and deployDoc() now support deploying static content to Posit Cloud. Static RMarkdown and Quarto content can be rendered server-side.

  • rsconnect requires renv 1.0.0.

  • deployApp() and writeManifest() now respect renv lock files, if present. If you don’t want to use these lockfiles, and instead return the previous behaviour of snapshotting on every deploy, add your renv.lock to .rscignore (#671). Learn more ?appDependencies().

    Additionally, deployApp() and writeManifest() now use renv to capture app dependencies, rather than packrat. If this causes a previously working deploy to fail, please file an issue then set options(rsconnect.packrat = TRUE) to revert to the previous behaviour.

  • deployApp()’s quarto argument now takes values TRUE, FALSE or NA. The previous value (a path to a quarto binary) is now ignored, and instead we automatically figure out the package from QUARTO_PATH and PATH env vars (#658). deploySite() now supports quarto websites (#813).

  • deployApp() gains a new envVars argument which takes a vector of the names of environment variables that should be securely copied to the server. The names (not values) of these environment variables are also saved in the deployment record and will be updated each time you re-deploy the app (#667). This currently only works with Connect, but we hope to add support to Posit cloud and shinyapps.io in the future.

  • rsconnect gains two new functions for understanding and updating the environment variables that your apps currently use. listServerEnvVars() will return a data frame of applications, with a envVars list-column giving the names of the environment variables used by each application. updateServerEnvVars() will update all applications that use a specific environment variable with the current value of that environment variable (#667).

Lifecycle changes

  • Non-libcurl rsconnect.http options have been deprecated. This allows us to focus our efforts on a single backend, rather than spreading development efforts across five. The old backends will remain available for at least 2 years, but if you are using them because libcurl doesn’t work for you, please report the problem ASAP so we can fix it.

  • addConnectServer() has been deprecated because it does the same thing as addServer() now that addServer() also validates URLs.

  • deployTFModel() is defunct. Posit Connect no longer supports hosting of TensorFlow Model APIs. A TensorFlow model can be deployed as a Plumber API, Shiny application, or other supported content type.

  • discoverServer() has been deprecated; it never worked.

  • deployApp("foo.Rmd") has been deprecated. It was never documented, and it does the same job as deployDoc() (#698).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

  • New rsconnect.http.headers and rsconnect.http.cookies allow you to set extra arbitrary additional headers/cookies on each request (#405). Their use is documented in the new vignette("custom-http").

  • Uploading large files to RPubs works once more (#450).

  • When recording details about deployments to Posit Cloud, appId now represents the content id (as seen in URLs of the format https://posit.cloud/content/{id}) instead of the application id.

  • Deployment records no longer contain the time the app was deployed (when) or when it’s metadata was last synced (lastSyncTime) as these variables are not very useful, and they lead to uninteresting diffs if you have committed the deployment records to git (#770). A version field has been added to deployment DCF files to facilitate future file format changes, if needed. Its value for this release is 1.,

  • accounts() returns a zero-row data frame if no accounts are registered.

  • accountInfo() and removeAccount() no longer require account be supplied (#666).

  • accountInfo() and servers() redact sensitive information (secrets, private keys, and certificates) to make it hard to accidentally reveal such information in logs (#675).

  • addServer() includes the port in the default server name, if present.

  • appDependencies() includes implicit dependencies, and returns an additional column giving the Repository (#670). Its documentation contains more information about how dependency discovery works, and how you can control it, if needed.

  • applications() now returns the application title, if available (#484), and processes multiple pages of results from a Connect server (#860).

  • connectApiUser() now clearly requires an apiKey (#741).

  • deployApp() output has been thoroughly reviewed and tweaked. As well as general polish it now gives you more information about what it has discovered about the deployment, like the app name, account & server, and which files are included in the bundle (#669).

  • deployApp() is more aggressive about saving deployment data, which should make it less likely that you need to repeat yourself after a failed deployment. In particular, it now saves both before and after uploading the contents (#677) and it saves when you’re updating content originally created by someone else (#270).

  • deployApp() now gives an actionable error if you attempt to set visibility of an app deployed to posit.cloud (#838).

  • deployApp() now uses a stricter policy for determining whether or not a locally installed package can be successfully installed on the deployment server. This means that you’re more likely to get a clean failure prior to deployment (#659).

  • deployApp() will now detect if you’re attempting to publish to an app that has been deleted and will prompt you to create a new app (#226).

  • deployApp() includes some new conveniences for large uploads including reporting the size of the bundle you’re uploading and showing a progress bar in interactive sessions (#754).

  • deployApp() now follows redirects, which should make it more robust to your server moving to a new url (#674).

  • deployApp() uses simpler logic for determining whether it should create a new app or update an existing app. Now appName, account, and server are used to find existing deployments. If none are found, it will create a new deployment; if one is found, it’ll be updated; if more than one are found, it will prompt you to disambiguate (#666).

  • deployApp() improves account resolution from account and server arguments by giving specific recommendations on the values that you might use in the case of ambiguity or lack of matches (#666). Additionally, you’ll now receive a clear error if you accidentally provide something other than a string or NULL to these arguments.

  • deployApp() now generates an interactive prompt to select account/server (if no previous deployments) or appName/account/server (if multiple previous deployments) (#691).

  • deployApp() now advertises which startup scripts are run at the normal logLevel, and it evaluates each script in its own environment (#542).

  • deployApp() now derives appName from appDir and appPrimaryDoc, never using the title (#538). It now only simplifies the path if you are publishing to shinyapps.io, since its restrictions on application names are much tighter than those of Posit Connect.

  • deployApp() will now warn if appFiles or appManifestFiles contain files that don’t exist, rather than silently ignoring them (#706).

  • deployApp() excludes temporary backup files (names starting or ending with ~) when automatically determining files to bundle (#111) as well as directories that are likely to be Python virtual environments (#632). Additionally, ignore rules are always now applied to all directories; previously some (like .Rproj.user and "manifest.json") were only applied to the root directory. It correctly handles .rscignore files (i.e. as documented) (#568).

  • deployApp(appSourceDoc) has been deprecated; it did the same job as recordDir.

  • deployDoc() includes a .Rprofile in the bundle, if one is found in the same directory as the document.

  • lint() should have fewer false positives for path problems: the relative path linter has been removed (#244) and the case-sensitive linter now only checks strings containing a / (#611).

  • New listDeploymentFiles(), which supsersedes listBundleFiles(). It now errors when if the bundle is either too large or contains too many files, rather than silently truncating as before (#684).

  • serverInfo() and removeServer() no longer require a server when called interactively.

  • showMetrics() once again returns a correctly named data frame (#528).

  • Removed Rmd generation code (writeRmdIndex()) which had not worked, or been necessary, for quite some time (#106, #109).

  • Locale detection has been improved on windows (#233).

  • The rsconnect.pre.deploy and rsconnect.post.deploy hooks are now always called with the content directory, not sometimes the path to a specific file (#696).

  • Functions that should only interact with shinyapps.io enforce the server type. Updated addAuthorizedUser(), removeAuthorizedUser(), showUsers(), showInvited(), resendInvitation(), configureApp(), setProperty(), unsetProperty(), purgeApp(), restartApp(), terminateApp(), showUsage(), and showMetrics() (#863, #864).

  • When needed packages are not installed, and you’re in an interactive environment, rsconnect will now prompt you to install them (#665).

  • The confirmation prompt presented upon lint failures indicates “no” as its default. (#652)

rsconnect 0.8.29

CRAN release: 2023-01-09

  • Introduced support for publishing to Posit Cloud. This feature is currently in closed beta and requires access to an enabled account on Posit Cloud. See Posit Cloud’s Announcement for more information and to request access.

  • Update company and product names for rebranding to Posit.

rsconnect 0.8.28

CRAN release: 2022-10-24

  • Shiny applications and Shiny documents no longer include an implicit dependency on ragg when that package is present in the local environment. This reverts a change introduced in 0.8.27.

    Shiny applications should add an explicit dependency on ragg (usually with a library("ragg") statement) to see it used by shiny::renderPlot (via shiny::plotPNG).

    The documentation for shiny::plotPNG explains the use of ragg. (#598)

  • Fix bug that prevented publishing or writing manifests for non-Quarto content when a Quarto path was provided to the quarto argument of writeManifest(), deployApp(), and related functions.

  • Escape account names when performing a directory search to determine an appropriate server. (#620)

rsconnect 0.8.27

CRAN release: 2022-07-12

  • Quarto content will no longer silently deploy as R Markdown content when Quarto metadata is missing or cannot be gathered. Functions will error, requesting the path to a Quarto binary in the quarto argument. (#594)
  • Fix typo for .rscignore. (#599)
  • Quarto deployments specifying only an appDir and quarto binary but not an appPrimaryDoc work more consistently. A directory containing a .qmd file will deploy as Quarto content instead of failing, and a directory containing an .Rmd file will successfully deploy as Quarto content instead of falling back to R Markdown. (#601)
  • If the ragg package is installed locally, it is now added as an implicit dependency to shiny apps since shiny::renderPlot() now uses it by default (when available). This way, shiny apps won’t have to add library(ragg) to get consistent (higher-quality) PNG images when deployed. (#598)

rsconnect 0.8.26

CRAN release: 2022-05-31

  • Add ability to resend shinyapps.io application invitations (#543)
  • Show expiration status in shinyapps.io for invitations (#543)
  • Allow shinyapps.io deployments to be private at creation time (#403)
  • Update the minimum openssl version to 2.0.0 to enable publishing for users on FIPS-compliant systems without the need for API keys. (#452)
  • Added Quarto support to writeManifest, which requires passing the absolute path to a Quarto executable to its new quarto parameter
  • Added quarto parameter to deployApp to enable deploying Quarto documents and websites by supplying the path to a Quarto executable
  • Added support for deploying Quarto content that uses only the jupyter runtime
  • Added support for selecting a target image in the bundle manifest
  • The showLogs function takes a server parameter. (#57)
  • Added the rsconnect.tar option, which can be used to specify the path to a tar implementation instead of R’s internal implementation. The previous method, using the RSCONNECT_TAR environment variable, still works, but the new option will take precedence if both are set.

rsconnect 0.8.25

CRAN release: 2021-11-19

  • Use the curl option -T when uploading files to avoid out of memory errors with large files. (#544)
  • The rsconnect.max.bundle.size and rsconnect.max.bundle.files options are enforced when processing an enumerated set of files. Previously, these limits were enforced only when bundling an entire content directory. (#542)
  • Preserve file time stamps when copying files into the bundle staging directory, which then propagates into the created tar file. (#540)
  • Configuration directories align with CRAN policy and use the location named by tools::R_user_dir. Configuration created by earlier versions of this package is automatically migrated to the new location. (#550)

rsconnect 0.8.24

CRAN release: 2021-08-05

  • Added support for publishing Quarto documents and websites
  • Added support for .rscignore file to exclude files or directories from publishing (#368)
  • Fixed issue causing missing value errors when publishing content containing filenames with extended characters (#514)

  • Fixed incorrect subdirectory nesting when storing configuration in R_USER_CONFIG_DIR
  • Added linter for different-case Markdown links (#388)
  • Use new Packrat release on CRAN, 0.6.0 (#501)
  • Fix incorrect linter messages referring to shiny.R instead of server.R (#509)
  • Warn, rather than err, when the repository URL for a package dependency cannot be validated. This allows deployment when using archived CRAN packages, or when using packages installed from source that are available on the server. (#508)
  • Err when the app-mode cannot be inferred; seen with empty directories/file-sets (#512)
  • Add verbose option to writeManifest utility (#468)

rsconnect 0.8.17

CRAN release: 2021-04-09

  • Fixed issue where setting options(rsconnect.http.trace.json = TRUE) could cause deployment errors with some HTTP transports (#490)
  • Improve how large bundles (file size and count) are detected (#464)
  • The RSCONNECT_TAR environment variable can be used to select the tar implementation used to create bundles (#446)
  • Warn when files are owned by users or groups with long names, as this can cause the internal R tar implementation to produce invalid archives (#446)
  • Add support for syncing the deployment metadata with the server (#396)
  • Insist on ShinyApps accounts in showUsers() (#398)
  • Improve the regex used for the browser and browseURL lints to include a word boundary (#400)
  • Fixed bug where connectApiUser() did not set a user id (#407)
  • New arguments to deployApp to force the generation of a Python environment file or a requirements.txt file (#409)

  • Improve detection of Shiny R Markdown files when server.R is present (#461)
  • Fix failure to write manifest when package requires a newer R version than the active version (#467)
  • Increase default HTTP timeout on non-Windows platforms (#476)
  • Require packrat 0.5 or later (#434)
  • Fix error when handling empty application / content lists (#417, #395)
  • Calls to writeManifest() no longer reference packrat files in the generated manifest.json. The packrat entries were transient and only existed while computing dependencies. (#472)
  • Fix applications when ShinyApps does not return size details (#496)
  • GitLab is seen as a valid SCM source (#491)

rsconnect 0.8.16

CRAN release: 2019-12-13

  • Prevent attempts to deploy Connect applications without uploading (#145)
  • Flag usage of browser() debugging calls when deploying (#196)

  • Add support for requirements.txt for Python, if it exists (#386)
  • Restore compatibility with R < 3.5 (#394)
  • Add support for authenticating with Connect via an API key rather than a token (#393)

CRAN release: 2019-07-22

  • Switch from RCurl to curl as the default HTTP backend (#325)
  • Add purgeApp() function to purge previously deployed shinyapps.io applications (#352)
