ojs_define from pytthon creates a cell (even with python has output and echo set to false)

[jguhlin]

Bug description

#| output: false
#| echo: false
ojs_define(value = 0)

You can see the div here in firefox

The unfortunately messes up dashboard rendering, and as this is usually at the top of files (to process variables before loading ojs) it pushes everything down a bit.

Steps to reproduce

#| output: false
#| echo: false
ojs_define(value = 0)

Expected behavior

No new div should be created, as output/echo are both false

Actual behavior

No response

Your environment

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 blocks (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, the div that we're inserting needs to be there, otherwise the observablejs runtime doesn't find the cell that holds the value = 0 definition. We'll have to create a special case for the dashboard format.
