deployDoc does not include local requirements.txt file in the bundle

[samperman]

I have an rmarkdown document using reticulate and also created my own requirements.txt file. If I run the following:

rsconnect::deployDoc("mydoc.Rmd", ...)

the resulting bundle includes a requirements.txt file that was generated by rsconnect rather than the one I had created.

As a workaround, this will do what i want:

rsconnect::deployApp(appDir = getwd(), appPrimaryDoc = "mydoc.Rmd", appFiles = c("mydoc.Rmd", "requirements.txt"), ...)

This is happening because deployDoc uses rmarkdown::find_external_resources to scan the document for external dependencies; we do not incorporate additional, unreferenced files that live alongside the document.

rsconnect/R/deployDoc.R

Lines 51 to 75 in 647bb4d

	if (isShinyRmd(path)) {
	# deploy entire directory
	appFiles <- NULL
	} else if (isStaticFile(path)) {
	taskStart(quiet, "Discovering document dependencies...")
	resources <- rmarkdown::find_external_resources(path)
	taskComplete(quiet, "Document dependencies discovered")
	appFiles <- c(basename(path), resources$path)
	if (file.exists(file.path(dirname(path), ".Rprofile"))) {
	appFiles <- c(appFiles, ".Rprofile")
	}
	appFiles
	} else {
	# deploy just the file
	appFiles <- basename(path)
	}
	list(
	appDir = normalizePath(dirname(path)),
	appPrimaryDoc = basename(path),
	appFiles = appFiles
	)
	}

We could/should special case requirements.txt in the same way as .Rprofile.
