I can't create a Quarto document under RStudio > File > New File

[lizongzhang]

I can't create a Quarto document under File > New File in RStudio. RStudio>File>New File, there is no quarto document.The Render Websites button is also missing under the Build tab. I'm using the latest versions of both R (4.4.3) and RStudio (2024.12.1), quarto (1.6.42) and on Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2, Mac M1 chip.

@lizongzhang What is this link to StackOverflow exactly?
Note that this repository is about Quart CLI, not RStudio IDE.

Quarto was blocked by the ITs.

That would definitely means that RStudio can't use, and probably disable menu because it can't check version

@cderv Thank you for your suggestions—I've tried each one of them. I've confirmed Quarto is properly installed and working in my PATH. Running quarto::quarto_binary_sitrep(debug = TRUE) returns “It is configured to use the latest version found in the PATH environment variable.TRUE”, indicating it's using the correct version. I can use quarto render in RStudio's Terminal to compile my .qmd documents and successfully generate the correct HTML files. However, when I use the Render button of qmd file tab generates incomplete HTML files missing YAML content. Additionally, I'm missing both the 'Quarto Document...' option under File > New File, the 'Quarto Website...' option under File > New Project in RStudio, and the “render websites” of “Build” tab.

Thanks for confirming. I would open an issue with RStudio IDE repo then, as quarto CLI is working for you, but not in the context of RStudio IDE integration. So there seems to be a problem, and they can help you debug further what RStudio IDE is trying to do.
