publish to Confluence with params

[hutch3232]

Description

Firstly, I wanted to mention that I found this related discussion: #5310

In that discussion, it sounded like the recommended approach (until publish inherits from render) is to do a two-stage approach: first rendering the document with parameters supplied and then to publish using the --no-render option.

Unfortunately, when I tried to do that I get:
ERROR: Confluence requires rendering before publish

My code:

quarto render confl.qmd -P myvar:"test"
quarto publish confluence --no-render confl.qmd

Am I approaching this wrong? Is it possible to pass render-time parameters to a Confluence-bound .qmd?

quarto --version
1.4.550
Ubuntu 20.04

Thanks for sharing. This is indeed a limitation of the workflow. quarto publish does not take render parameters, and to publish to confluence, this is using a special internal format used when doing quarto publish.

I'll open an issue to track the idea for improvement

What would be a good workaround until this is fixed? I'm considering just rendering a bunch of parameterised reports to .html with different parameters then uploading these html as attachment to confluence pages.
I'm using conflr::confl_post_attachment() and conflr::confl_update_attachment_data() to do that
