How to keep an embedded notebook?

[albertomercurio]

Description

Hello,

I have a book project, where at some point I embed some code of another .qmd file. The embedded file is not included in the project, so it is only executed only because it is embedded.

I want to keep the ipynb of the embedded notebook, generated during the rendering of the project. I tried to add

execute:
  keep-ipynb: true

In the embedded file, but it doesn't work.

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? The goal is to make it as easy as possible for us to recreate your problem so that we can fix it: please help us help you! Thanks.

---

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code block (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

Which version of Quarto are you using ?

We had an issue with keep-ipynb which is now fixed in latest prerelease 1.8.13: https://quarto.org/docs/download/prerelease.html

It will be included in 1.7 next patch release.

Can you try 1.8.13 please ?

It seems to work. I get a .quarto_ipynb file. By simply renaming it to a .ipynb, I'm able to open it as a jupyter notebook.

I can manually do it afterwards, but I was wondering if there is a reason to keep it as .quarto_ipynb rather than standard format.

This is because this is an intermediate file in the process, meant for debugging.

We don't want it to be mistaken with a .ipynb output produced with quarto render-- to ipynb or as part of the other process. There could be a conflict.

.quart-ipynb is a valid IPYNB but with a lot of content in cells meant for Quarto rendering also. We used this extension to avoid confusion

Ok, so directly rename its extension is fine I guess.
