Quarto: 'Run [chunks] above' does not work reliably

[madschnun461]

System details: MacOS 14.6

Positron and OS details: 2024.07.0 (Universal) build 125

Interpreter details: R 4.4.1

Describe the issue:

I’m working in a Quarto file with R chunks. Rendering works fine; all commands run without any errors. However, while working in the Quarto file, the ‘run above’ functionality does not work properly; chunks are not executed from the beginning or in the correct order, leading to errors.

I have no issues with this function for the same Quarto file when working in RStudio.

Quarto version: 1.5.56 (also had the issue with the prior version)

I believe this is the same as #4068. Want to take a look and see if you have anything additional to add there?

[DavisVaughan]

It's helpful to know about this, because it makes me think the problem isn't in the Statement Range provider code. This now smells like an issue in our code execution queue system

[juliasilge]

We'll be tracking further in #4068. Thanks!

[DavisVaughan]

@lionel- and I have been investigating this and it turns out to be a separate issue from #4068 and we are going to do a Quarto PR to resolve it.

[madschnun461]

Many thanks for this! Greatly appreciated!

[DavisVaughan]

Quarto PR has been merged, we need a Quarto release now quarto-dev/quarto#510

[juliasilge]

v1.115.0 of the Quarto extension is now published so we should be able to validate this fix in Positron. There are some notes in quarto-dev/quarto#509.
