Is it possible to abort Quarto rendering based on exit code of pre-render script (or similar approach)?

For example, say we have

project:
  ...
  pre-render:
    - pre-render.py

in _quarto.yml and the pre-render script terminates with non-zero exit code, e.g., with, say, exit(42). Is it possible to automatically abort rendering at that point?

In a relatively recent update, Quarto is supposed to abort when the pre-render script has non zero exit.

Would you mind testing your script with 1.4 pre-release or at least share a "working" reproducible example?

OK. I'm at 1.3.433 right now. I'll see about upgrading.

Confirmed. Upgrading to pre-release 1.4.268 does the trick. Works as expected. TY.
