Summary

rsconnect-python and the Posit Publisher (VS Code extension) currently track deployments in two mutually exclusive, incompatible formats. A directory deployed with one tool is invisible to the other, so the two toolchains can't collaborate on the same content. I'd like rsconnect-python to be able to read (and eventually write) the Publisher's .posit/ records so all of our deployment tooling speaks the same language.

Current behavior

Deploying the same app two ways produces two independent record sets that neither tool reconciles:

Publisher (.posit/publish/) — TOML, with a public versioned schema:

  • .posit/publish/<config>.toml — configuration (posit-publishing-schema-v3.json)
  • .posit/publish/deployments/<deployment>.toml — deployment record (posit-publishing-record-schema-v3.json), including server_url, content id/GUID, bundle_id, dashboard_url, direct_url, deployed files, requirements, etc.

rsconnect-python (rsconnect-python/<name>.json) — JSON keyed by server URL, with app_id, app_guid, app_url, app_mode, app_store_version.

Because rsconnect-python only knows about its own rsconnect-python/*.json store, a re-deploy via the CLI won't find or update the Publisher's record (and creates a separate piece of content rather than updating the existing one).

Requested behavior

  • On deploy/redeploy, have rsconnect-python detect an existing .posit/ directory and use those records to resolve the target server + existing content (GUID/id) for update-in-place.
  • Treat this as an addition, not a replacement of the existing rsconnect-python/*.json behavior initially, so we can begin transitioning without breaking existing workflows.
  • The Publisher schema is public and versioned, which makes it a good shared source of truth:
    • Config: https://cdn.posit.co/publisher/schemas/posit-publishing-schema-v3.json
    • Record: https://cdn.posit.co/publisher/schemas/posit-publishing-record-schema-v3.json

Why

The Publisher approach is considered the better/preferred way of recording deployments, and aligning rsconnect-python on it means the CLI, the VS Code extension, and other tooling share one deployment source of truth instead of drifting into incompatible records for the same content.

# Repo · Issue State Why it's relevant
1 posit-dev/connect#36981 — feat: Support Publisher configuration files open The closest match. Proposes Connect natively consuming the Publisher .posit/ config + deployment-record TOML (same v3 schema) and building manifest.json from it — the server-side counterpart to making all tools speak the Publisher format.
2 posit-dev/publisher#3376 — feat: Integrate credential storage with rsconnect-python closed Direct precedent for Publisher ↔ rsconnect-python interoperability (sharing credential state). Shows the two tools are already being aligned; this issue extends the same idea to deployment records.
3 posit-dev/connect#29965 — Feat: Include provenance of deployment in metadata and UI open About tracking which tool/source produced a deployment — relevant to reconciling multiple record sources into one source of truth.
4 posit-dev/rsconnect-python#817 — Add support for publishing to Posit Connect Cloud open Adjacent: expands rsconnect-python's deployment targets/records, which intersects with how/where deployment state is stored.
