Running quarto create project blog . in Positron Terminal opens VSCode window

[isabelizimm]

Bug description

I'm making a new blog via the Quarto CLI inside the terminal in Positron. It looks like there is some auto-open-up-in-new-window capabilities, but I can't seem to have the new window be Positron--it always opens up VSCode.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open up Positron
2. In Positron terminal, run quarto create project blog .
3. See VSCode being opened

Expected behavior

I expected a new window of Positron to be opened (or no window).

Actual behavior

Opened up a new window of VSCode.

Your environment

• Positron version: 2024.06.1 (Universal) build 17
• Quarto version: 1.5.47
• MacOS M1

Thanks for the report.

Did you try also from the Quarto: Create project in command palette from the Quarto extension ?
We are using the vscode node module command

// open the project
await commands.executeCommand("vscode.openFolder", Uri.file(projDir));

Source : https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto/blob/06678d55143a7d6de6c7f0232db0c5dcf8392ca6/apps/vscode/src/providers/create/create-project.ts#L79-L80

We may also need to adapt the extension 🤔

Some notes about current quarto create command

• It has a --open argument supporting only vscode and rstudio
  

  quarto-cli/src/command/create/editor.ts

  Lines 31 to 34 in 9724c3d

  	export const kEditorInfos: EditorInfo[] = [
  	vscodeEditorInfo(),
  	rstudioEditorInfo(),
  	];

• If we had this editor, we should then manage to use it when we detect we are in it
  

  quarto-cli/src/command/create/cmd.ts

  Lines 199 to 203 in 9724c3d

  	// See if we are executing inside of an editor, and just use
  	// that editor
  	const inEditor = editors.find((ed) => ed.inEditor);
  	if (inEditor) {
  	return inEditor;

I just encountered this too, in my experimentations while pondering/reviewing r-lib/usethis#2045.
