Note: Positron also currently passes information to a kernel to describe if the session is supporting a notebook. We should be careful to reconcile terminology here. |

…4703) Addresses #4082 ### TODO - [x] Bump ark with posit-dev/ark#531 ### QA Notes This PR adds some new env vars to specify the mode (desktop vs. web) and a long version number, as well as making the terminal env vars more consistent with the console. You can find them via: - the R console ```r Sys.getenv("POSITRON_MODE") Sys.getenv("POSITRON_LONG_VERSION") ``` - the Python console ```python import os print(os.environ['POSITRON_MODE']) print(os.environ['POSITRON_LONG_VERSION']) ``` - terminals in Positron ```bash echo "$POSITRON_MODE" echo "$POSITRON_VERSION" echo "$POSITRON_LONG_VERSION" ``` In a dev build, the build number isn't defined so you'll see something like "2024.03.0+undefined" on a web build or "2024.09.0+0" on a desktop build. --------- Signed-off-by: Julia Silge <julia.silge@gmail.com>

While RStudio uses
.rs.api.versionInfo()to describe version and session mode metadata, we want a language agnostic way to provide similar information consistently. Positron currently has ENV vars:POSITRON=1andPOSITRON_VERSION=YYYY.MM.PPformat, which is a reasonable way to achieve this. We need to extend the env with more metadata including the precise build number (the "long" form of the version info), and at least the session mode (e.g. desktop vs. server) once it is hosted in Workbench.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
