mapview not rendering on vscode and mapviewOptions(fgb = TRUE)

[duccioa]

Hello! I am in VSCode 1.89.1. This script opens a Viewer on the side but it is empty.

library(mapview)
#> GDAL version >= 3.1.0 | setting mapviewOptions(fgb = TRUE)
mapview(breweries)
#> Browsing http://127.0.0.1:5046

The same address opened in Firefox or Chrome still shows an empty page. If I inspect the html code, it is indeed empty.

With fgb = FALSE it works as expected in the VSCode viewer.

library(mapview)
#> GDAL version >= 3.1.0 | setting mapviewOptions(fgb = TRUE)
mapviewOptions(fgb = FALSE)
mapview(breweries)

I was experimenting with the print method and I tried to grey out the part about if (ide == "vscode") and in this case it works also with mapviewOptions(fgb = TRUE), but not with mapviewOptions(viewer.suppress = TRUE).

printMapview = function (x) {

  ## normal htmlwidget printing for notebooks etc.
  ## set options fgb & georaster to FALSE!!
  if (!isTRUE(mapviewGetOption("fgb")) & !isTRUE(mapviewGetOption("georaster"))) {
    print(mapview2leaflet(x))
    # invisible(x)
    return(invisible())
  }

  ## convert to leaflet object
  x = mapview2leaflet(x)
  viewer = getOption("viewer")
  ide = get_ide()
  if (mapviewGetOption("viewer.suppress")) {
    viewer = NULL
  }
  if (!is.null(viewer)) {
    viewerFunc = function(url) {
      paneHeight = x$sizingPolicy$viewer$paneHeight
      if (identical(paneHeight, "maximize")) {
        paneHeight = -1
      }
      # I REMOVED THIS PART >>>>>
      # if (ide == "vscode") {
      #   # VSCode's viewer can't ignore cross-origin requests. Need to serve the

      #   server <- servr::httd(

      #     )
      #   url <- server$url
      # }
      # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      viewer(url, height = paneHeight)
    }
  } else {
    viewerFunc = function(url) {
      dir = get_url_dir(url)
      switch(ide,
        "rstudio" = if (mapviewGetOption("viewer.suppress")) {
          fl = file.path(dir, "index.html")
          utils::browseURL(fl)
          } else {
            servr::httd(
              dir = dir,
              verbose = FALSE
            )
          },
          "vscode" = servr::httd(
            dir = dir,
            verbose = FALSE
          ),
          # default
          servr::httd(
            dir = dir,
            verbose = FALSE
          )
          )
    }
  }
  htmltools::html_print(
    htmltools::as.tags(x, standalone = TRUE)
    , viewer = if (interactive()) viewerFunc
  )
  invisible(x)
