connectapi 0.4.0

CRAN release: 2024-11-08

New features

• New functions set_thumbnail(), get_thumbnail(), delete_thumbnail() and has_thumbnail() let you interact with content thumbnails, replacing older *_image() functions. (#294, #304)
• groups_create_remote() now has an exact parameter. Setting exact causes the function to consider only exact group name matches when searching for remote groups and checking for existing local groups. (#216)
• New functions to let you view and delete runtime caches on a Connect server: get_runtime_caches(), delete_runtime_cache() (#312)
• New get_runtimes() lets you view available runtimes and versions on a Connect server. (#311)

Lifecycle changes

Newly deprecated

• set_image_path(), set_image_url(), and set_image_webshot() have been deprecated and will be removed in a future update. They have been replaced by set_thumbnail(), which works both with local file paths and remote URLs to images. Likewise, has_image() and delete_image() have been deprecated in favor of has_thumbnail() and delete_thumbnail(). (#294, #304)
• Connect$server_settings_r() has been deprecated in favor of get_runtimes(client, "r"). (#311)

Minor improvements and fixes

• Upgrade pkgdown to bootstrap 5 to enable search (@fh-mthomson, #275)
• The get_timezones() function now uses the v1/timezones endpoint if available. (#300)
• connect$DELETE() now respects the parser argument rather than always using NULL.
• get_groups() no longer hangs when a search prefix is provided. (#319)

connectapi 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-09-05

Breaking changes

• GET_URL(), GET_RESULT(), and GET_RESULT_URL() have been eliminated in favor of GET() (#274).
• The .empty_object argument has been removed from PUT/PATCH/POST (#274).

New features

• New content_render() and content_restart() functions. content_render() allows you to programmatically re-render content such as Quarto and R Markdown reports and Jupyter notebooks, optionally passing in a variant_key to render a specific variant of parameterized content. content_restart() lets you restart interactive content, such as Shiny applications, APIs, or dashboards (#283, #289)
• New get_oauth_credentials() function for interacting with Connect’s /v1/oauth/integrations/credentials endpoint. This endpoint allows content running on Posit Connect to obtain the content viewer’s OAuth access token (#297).

Minor improvements and fixes

• Timestamps with non-zero offsets received from Connect no longer parse as NA (#290).
• Timestamps sent to Connect are now correctly converted to UTC, instead of simply being labeled as GMT (#291).
• Functions to render variants and email reports now contain the request query that Connect expects (#277).
• HTTP verb functions can take any URL, not just one relative to API root, and can optionally return the httr_response object (#274).

connectapi 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2024-06-06

Breaking changes

• All previously deprecated functions are now removed.
• The functions Connect$download_bundle() and Connect$bundle_delete() have been removed. Use Content$bundle_download() and Content$bundle_delete() instead.
• audit_vanity_urls() has been removed. To check if a vanity URL is in use, use vanity_is_available() instead.
• Other audit_* functions have been modified to accept the result of get_content() rather than cache_apps() (which is now removed). They are faster as a result.
• dplyr is no longer a required dependency. If you use tbl_connect(), you will need to install dplyr and dbplyr explicitly. (#246)

Enhancements and fixes

• The package is now tested against many versions of Connect, back to 1.8.8.2 (May 2021). There are now fewer warnings about version mismatches: you should only see a warning if your Connect server is older than that. (#244)
• Now correctly provides methods for tbl_connect, rather than tbl_lazy, preventing problems when also using dplyr (#177).
• progress is now an optional dependency. To show pretty progress bars, install the package explicitly. (#269)
• Content$tag_delete() removes the tag from the target content item rather than removing the tag entirely. (#194)
• audit_r_versions() returns a bar chart instead of a histogram (#179)
• Fix issue with NULL or length 1 job outputs (#193)
• Timestamp parsing now correctly preserves time components (#259)

connectapi 0.1.1.1

CRAN release: 2022-07-21

BREAKING

• BREAKING: the following functions now require RStudio Connect 1.8.6 or later (because they are no longer experimental, as of that release). (#128)
  • set_vanity_url(), get_vanity_url(), swap_vanity_url()
  • get_tags(), get_tag_data(), get_content_tags(), create_tag(), create_tag_tree(), delete_tag(), get_content_tags(), set_content_tags(), set_content_tag_tree(), filter_tag_tree_id(), filter_tag_tree_chr(), set_environment_new(), get_environment(), set_environment_remove(), download_bundle()
  • tag ids are now character strings (of integers) instead of integers
• BREAKING: Connect$new() now takes a server argument (instead of host)
  • The same is true of the connect() function, although we warn about argument deprecation in that case. (#125)
• BREAKING: set_environment_new() and set_environment_remove() no longer take a .version argument, and output data structure is a bit different (a list of names). They now use the public API, which changes the interface a bit. Also, intricacies of how to set / remove environment variables are changed (i.e. setting VAR=NA will remove VAR). (#141)
• BREAKING: get_vanity_url() and set_vanity_url() are now no longer experimental functions. (#113) However:
  • get_vanity_url() now returns a character string representing the vanity url in use (or NULL if not defined)
  • set_vanity_url() still returns a Vanity R6 object, but vanity$get_vanity()$path_prefix is now vanity$get_vanity()$path
• BREAKING: tag_page() and tag_page_iframe() have been removed. Similar functions belong in the connectwidgets package in the future.
• BREAKING: Several content_* and other APIs have moved from experimental to “v1” variants. This means they have stabilized, but with several subtle breaking changes that could impact your scripts. (#115)
  • i.e. bundle_id has become id in some response data. In others, url has become content_url.
  • The R6 method content$get_bundles() no longer takes a page_number argument, and the get_bundles(limit) argument is now deprecated (#129)
  • Connect$download_bundle is now deprecated in favor of Content$bundle_download(), and delete_bundle() now takes a Content item instead of Connect. (#153)
• BREAKING: acl_*() functions are deprecated in favor of get_content_permissions(), content_add_user(), and friends.
• BREAKING: Connect$PUT(), Connect$POST() and Connect$PATCH() endpoints now presume that an empty list is really a “map”/“object” (like {} instead of []). This can break some endpoints that expect a list. Set .empty_object=FALSE to avoid this behavior.

Other Changes

• users_create_remote() gains an exact argument to simplify complex cases (#135). Long term, we should solicit feedback on whether this function attempts to do too much.
• Add helpers for common content modification actions: content_update(), content_update_access_type() and content_update_owner()
• Fix an issue with relative paths in bundle_dir() (@slodge) (#118, #121)
• Add overwrite= parameter to download_bundle()
• Add HTTP request customization options, and related documentation (#101)
• Add git deployment (#112)
• Switch Task class to ContentTask
  • R6 does not support multiple inheritance, so we keep the Task interface up-to-date on ContentTask and VariantTask manually
• Improve several print methods (#18, #19)
• Protect against bad bundles (#13)
• Error if an empty API key is defined (#16)
• Add a few content_list_* helpers (#130):
  • content_list_with_permissions returns a content_list with a “permission” column that includes who has access
  • content_list_by_tag allows fetching just a content_list for a particular tag
  • content_list_guid_has_access filters a “content list with permission” by whether a user or group GUID has access
• Add a user_guid_from_username() function to convert session$user or other usernames to a user GUID (#130)

• Add a client$PATCH verb
• Switch Content$update() to use PATCH (which depends on RStudio Connect 1.8.6+)
