Can't save quarto docs to html if they have ojs runtime

[smach]

I used to be able to save quarto html files to a single HTML file even if they included Observable JavaScript. Since I upgraded to the latest version of quarto, I can no longer do this. The files preview OK, but they don't work as a single HTML file. I just tried to see what happens if I save it to multiple files and got this error message:

The OJS runtime does not work with file:// URLs. Please use a web server to view this document.

I've been sharing monthly reports at work as a single HTML file that included Observable code, and it's a problem if it won't work anymore. Is there some way to get this capability back?

@smach Unfortunately, the capability was never there to begin with; if it was working for you, that was honestly very lucky. Those files need to be served from a http:// or https:// server because of security restrictions coming from the OJS runtime.

I just tried rolling back to quarto 1.1.189 and it works. I guess I'll have one machine that never upgrades! (well, eventually a Docker container)

For what's worth, quarto 1.2 also has an older version of ObservableHQ's runtime that apparently works (partially) with the file:// scheme.

quarto 1.3 already doesn't, and unfortunately it won't in 1.4 and going forward. There's nothing we can do about it.

Good to know, thank you. I'll test out 1.2 and then set up a Docker container with one of them.
