Quarto preview no longer updates changes after RStudio and Quarto update

[Shelmith-Kariuki]

Hi!

I've been working on a Quarto website, and previously, I didn't need to re-render the site after every edit to a .qmd file. Simply refreshing the browser would integrate the changes. I only needed to re-render once I was done editing.

However, after updating RStudio (Version 2024.12.1+563) and Quarto (1.6.42) on Friday, refreshing the browser no longer updates the changes. Now, I have to manually re-render each time, which feels unusual.

I'm using macOS Version 12.7.5.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the report. Can you check your behavior at command line using quarto preview ?

RStudio IDE is running

quarto preview index.qmd --to html --no-watch-inputs --no-browse

So there is --no-watch-inputs which means

--no-watch-inputs            - Do not re-render input files when they change.

So it seems quarto is not responsible for the re-render in RStudio IDE. So you should open an issue in their repo if they change how the input files are triggering re-render.

Hope it helps

@cderv ,

I think my problem is related to this issue. I will wait for a fix.
