Description

Related to #13150. Perhaps enabling jupyter-voila could fix the issue. However, if user publishes via quarto-static, perhaps they should get a warning that their interactive widgets won't be interactive (should they be static when published then?).

Expected

Current

Published content has no output for cell. It was published via quarto-static, since publishing via jupyter-voila isn't possible.

Repro
  1. Go to Interactive Predictor section in https://019db62f-a390-36db-643d-35e4fcfce70e.share.connect.posit.cloud/#interactive-predictor
  2. Notice that there is no output. User is not able to interact with widgets of published content. This is a significant gap for interactivity of Notebooks' published content.

Research direction

Start by reading related issue #13150 and reproducing the Interactive Predictor section in the linked Posit Connect Cloud publication. Investigate the quarto-static and jupyter-voila publishing paths mentioned here. Done should mean interactive widgets work in published notebooks, or the static path clearly warns users about the limitation.
