board_deparse() for Connect should include server

[hadley]

And allow auth to be auto:

board_deparse.pins_board_connect <- function(board, ...) {
  expr(board_connect(server = !!board$server))
}

I think we should leave auth as the default so it'll use whatever is setup in the current environment. But it's possible that you'll have multiple servers set up, so we should specify which one to use.

To make this work fully will require standardising server so it can always take a full url regardless of what auth mechanism is used (i.e. should strip protocol and path when auth = "rsconnect".

I think we should leave auth as the default so it'll use whatever is setup in the current environment.

The argument against this would be that some of the options available in auth only work locally and not when deployed to the Connect server, if I understand correctly, and that is the main use case I know about for board_deparse() (take a board object and generate code to create it elsewhere). For example, I believe that auth = "rsconnect" cannot be passed from your local setup to Connect (unless that has changed recently?). The Connect docs here show using auth = "envvar" because folks can set that up locally and it will also work it the same content is run from Connect.

Have there been changes recently to this?

I think I was trying to say that we shouldn't set the auth argument.
