This is a collection of sub-issues relating to persisting state when Positron is reloaded, whether in a Desktop build, Web build or Workbench build.

What "reloaded" means in the different builds:

  • Desktop: using the Developer: Reload Window command in the Command Prompt or CTRL/CMD+R
  • Web: refreshing the tab or duplicating the tab
  • Workbench: refreshing the tab, duplicating the tab, or reopening an existing Positron session from the Workbench homepage

Notes

For some of these issues, we can leverage the new Ephemeral State Service to store information that should persist through session reloads. This service was introduced in: #5372.

Once these enhancements are complete, we'll want to update the Posit Workbench docs on Multiple Sessions in Positron to remove the disclaimer that these state persistence items are WIP.

reconnect open data explorer editors on reload (#5475)

Addresses #3172

### QA Notes

Open data explorer tabs should be restored for both Python and R
sessions when Positron is reloaded. The tabs should appear once the
runtime(s) have started.

See #5462 for notes on what
"reloaded" means across the different Positron builds.

I've tested this in dev builds on Mac for Desktop and Server Web in
Chrome.
