[marcusyoung]

Steps to reproduce

1. I am working through the Rhino Masterclass from ShinyConf 2024
2. I have got to task 5
3. When I run rhino::test_e2e() I get the error message shown below.
4. I get the same error also with a new Rhino project.

It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 13.6.2

For information, cypress runs correctly, if npm run test-e2e is run from the .rhino directory. As does npm run test-e2e-interactive

Hello, I would like to add that this issue only occurs when using Positron IDE as can be seen in:

Listening on [http://127.0.0.1:3333](vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Program%20Files/Positron/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-sandbox/workbench/workbench.html#)

I have encountered this issue asswell when using Positron IDE in my machine but not when using RStudio. I would like to know if there are any plans to adapt rhinoverse functionality to work with Positron IDE, (box.lsp also doesn't work in Positron IDE). I imagine this may take some time due to there is not official release yet.

[marcusyoung]

There is nothing in the docs about Rhino being only supported in RStudio, and indeed any talks I've seen from @kamilzyla he has been using VS Code (and Positron is built on that). Hopefully we'll get a response from the development team at some point.

I asked about this in Positron IDE https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/discussions/4822#discussioncomment-10764864

Positron currently does not support Rhino or Cypress out of the box (and it is not likely we'd add native support in the near term).
