In Positron, the extension now uses the selected R runtime for Shiny for R apps. In VS Code, the extension also now consults the
r.rpath.mac
,r.rpath.windows
orr.rpath.linux
settings to find the R executable, before falling back to system settings. These settings are part of the R Debugger extension (#64) -
Improved feedback when waiting for a slow Shiny app to start up. (#65, #75)
-
The "Run Shiny app" command now saves the active file before running the app. (#68)
-
shiny.previewType
now explicitly includes"internal"
and"simple browser"
as distinct options, where"simple browser"
ensures that the built-in Simple Browser extension is used for previews. In Positron,"internal"
uses the Viewer pane; in other VS Code instances"internal"
and"simple browser"
are equivalent. (#69) -
The extension can now open Shinylive apps locally from
vscode://posit.shiny/shinylive?url=...
links. (#70)
