Trouble Publishing Quarto Observable Document with External CSV Data on Rpubs

I have created a simple interactive Quarto Observable document that reads data from a CSV file, performs transformations, and generates a plot. The document works perfectly on my local environment. However, when I attempt to publish it on Rpubs using R Studio, I encounter an issue.

Here is the relevant code snippet from my Quarto Observable document where I read the CSV file:

LT = FileAttachment("LongTableBar.csv").csv().then(data => {
  // Convert Percentage values to numbers
  data.forEach(d => {
    d.Percentage = parseFloat(d.Percentage);
  });

  // Now you can use the processed data
  return data;
})

I make additional transformations and generate a plot in the document:

Plot.plot({
  color: {legend: true},
  y: {
    grid: true
  },
  x: { axis: null },
  marks: [
    Plot.ruleY([0]),
    Plot.barY(further_test, {x: "ID", y: "Percentage", sort: {x: "y", reverse: true}, fill: (d) => colorScale(d.intersections)})
  ]
})

The document works flawlessly on my local setup, as shown in this screenshot:

However, when I attempt to publish it on Rpubs, I encounter the following issue:

You can access the published document with the error here.

Additionally, I have received the following warning during the publishing process:

WARNING] Deprecated: --self-contained. use --embed-resources --standalone

I suspect that the issue may be related to the YAML configuration. I attempted to address it by modifying the YAML as follows:

title: "Test with some data"
format: 
  html:
    page-layout: custom
execute:
  echo: false
  Rendering:
    embed-resources: true
    standalone: true

However, the error persists even after making this change. The entire document and associated files are available in this GitHub repository.

Quarto version

I have verified my Quarto version using the following code:

quarto::quarto_version()
[1] ‘1.2.335’

I appreciate any assistance in identifying and resolving the issue with publishing my Quarto Observable document on Rpubs. Thank you!

Solution

  • I am not sure why you are using the embed-resources key under the execute and then Rendering key, but that's the reason embed-resources: true is not generating a standalone file. Instead try using embed-resources directly.

title: "Test with some data"
format: 
  html:
    page-layout: custom
execute:
  echo: false
embed-resources: true
standalone: true

    And look into this issue #7331 on pandoc for details regarding the warning.
