Note to self:

usethis/R/course.R

Lines 398 to 409 in 4aa55e7

	if (is_interactive()) {
	rproj_path <- rproj_paths(target)
	if (length(rproj_path) == 1 && rstudioapi::hasFun("openProject")) {
	ui_bullets(c("v" = "Opening project in RStudio."))
	rstudioapi::openProject(target, newSession = TRUE)
	} else if (!in_rstudio_server()) {
	ui_bullets(c(
	"v" = "Opening {.path {pth(target, base_path)}} in the file manager."
	))
	utils::browseURL(path_real(target))
	}
	}

and then

usethis/R/rstudio.R

Lines 133 to 138 in 4aa55e7

	in_rstudio_server <- function() {
	if (!rstudio_available()) {
	return(FALSE)
	}
	identical(rstudioapi::versionInfo()$mode, "server")
	}

This is what I see get when I copy and paste what I see in the Console:

Shall we delete the ZIP file
([posit-dev-positron-workshop-project-e3ff127.zip](vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Positron.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-sandbox/workbench/workbench.html#))?

1: Nope
2: For sure
3: Not now

Selection: 
2
✔ Deleting
  [posit-dev-positron-workshop-project-e3ff127.zip](vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Positron.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-sandbox/workbench/workbench.html#).
✔ Opening [posit-dev-positron-workshop-project-e3ff127/](vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Positron.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-sandbox/workbench/workbench.html#)
  in the file manager.

Then nothing happens.

Maybe it's as simple as browseURL() not working with files in Positron?

This works in RStudio but not Positron:

browseURL("file://Users/charlottewickham/Desktop/posit-dev-positron-workshop-project-e3ff127")

It's probably this: posit-dev/positron#5486

Thanks for the additional research @cwickham! That looks promising. Or, rather, "promising".
