Misleading error message from compareVersion

[paddytobias]

Hi,

We were running into an issue on our landing pages that was telling us that our RSC server wasn't up to date, despite us running the latest version (2021.12)

After somedebugging, we realised the issue was that the version number was being hidden by the server as per here: https://docs.rstudio.com/connect/admin/appendix/configuration/#Server.HideVersion

Wondering, does the version number comparison need to be a hard check, i.e., error if the comparison fails ? Should it still run if the version is hidden?

If it should fail, then can we update the error message if there is no version number coming through

connectwidgets/R/connect.R

Lines 84 to 92 in 8282758

	if (compareVersion(settings$version, self$minimum_server_version) < 0) {
	stop(
	glue::glue("ERROR: Requires RStudio Connect server version >= ",
	self$minimum_server_version,
	", current version ",
	settings$version)
	)
	}
	},

@paddytobias, would you mind trying the latest version of the package? The lack of a server version is no longer an error.

You'll need to install from GitHub:

remotes::install_github("rstudio/connectwidgets")
