`quarto::quarto_use_template` raises error that `quarto use template` doesn't

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

Hi!

I have a local template called memo in the templates/memo dir.

• If I run quarto use template templates/memo everything works perfectly (indicating that a priori there is no issue with the template itself).
• If I run quarto::quarto_use_template("template/memo"), I get:

Error in `if (approval) ...`:
! argument is of length zero

But more generally, running quarto::quarto_use_template() returns the previous error if the input is wrong (?), no matter what kind of error it is (is the github repo not existing? is the path wrong? is something wrong with the extension itself? And so on).

quarto version: 1.6.42

This is duplicate of

• quarto:::check_extension_approval(FALSE, "Quarto template") returns NULL instead of TRUE after entering "Y" #212

It is fixed in dev version, not yet on CRAN.

You can install from github repo

pak::pak("quarto-dev/quarto-r")

Or using a built version from r-universe

install.packages('quarto', repos = c('https://quarto-dev.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
