Whenever I render a quarto project in rstudio by hitting the "render"-button it uses a random port for the localhost. The manual states one can insert:
project:
preview:
port: 4200
However, despite having inserted this option to the _quarto.yml a random number is still used.
Any hints on what I am doing wrong? My underlying problem is I need to know the port number for usage inside of the knitting job. So I'd like to fix it to a number known to myself. Another solution would be to read the used port number out. But I couldn't figure out how to do that either. Would appriciate any help for a solution! Thx :)
