The code chunk from RStudio Connect doesn't work without modifications

[scherbakovdmitri]

Hello, If I run this code in RStudio:

library(pins)
board <- board_rsconnect()
mtcars <- tibble::as_tibble(mtcars)
board %>% pin_write(mtcars, "mtcars")

And then open the pin in Connect , it shows this chunk of code:

library(pins)
board <- board_rsconnect("envvar", server = "http://10.0.0.15")
pin_read(board, "subsea/mtcars")

If I run it I get this:

> board <- board_rsconnect("envvar", server = "http://10.0.0.15")
Error in `rsc_server()`:
! Can't find CONNECT_API_KEY env var

The chunk that works is this:

library(pins)
board <- board_rsconnect(server = "10.0.0.15")
pin_read(board, "subsea/mtcars")

Wouldn't it be better to display this one instead? Because if sharing with other users, they can get confused if they see some chunk in Connect which doesn't work right away.

Given how board_rsconnect() works, I wonder if showing board <- board_rsconnect() would work for more people. This preview is being created using board_deparse():

library(pins)
b <- board_rsconnect()
#> Connecting to RSC 2022.07.0 at <https://colorado.rstudio.com/rsc>
board_deparse(b)
#> board_rsconnect("envvar", server = "https://colorado.rstudio.com/rsc")

We chose "envvar" here because it is most likely to be used in non-interactive contexts (like for vetiver) and it is what we recommend for all users in Connect documentation. Thoughts?

Thank you for your discussion! 🙌 For now, let's keep displaying the code that aligns with what we recommend for all users on Connect.
