rsconnect 1.0.0

New features

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

• 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)
