There is a mix of calls to base::interactive() and rlang::is_interactive(). Should they all shift to rlang::is_interactive()? Alternatively, should we have our own internal is_interactive() implementation which consults rstudioapi::isBackgroundJob()?

I feel like this targeted fix is what I'm after for now. Changing how we think about interactive() everywhere might have other side effects.

The `snowflakeauth` package only permits external browser authentication from interactive contexts, which makes sense in most cases. However, push-button deployments from the RStudio IDE actually run in a separate Deploy pane, not from the interactive console -- which isn't considered "interactive" by default. So this commit tells `rlang` to temporarily treat this as an interactive context, which allows the browser flow to work. Fixes #1289. Signed-off-by: Aaron Jacobs <aaron.jacobs@posit.co>

So this commit tells
rlangto temporarily treat this as an interactive context, which allows the browser flow to work.This actually requires a change to the
snowflakeauthpackage as well: posit-dev/snowflakeauth@dbd4830. We'll have to get another release of that package out to enable this fix to work properly.Fixes #1289.
