  # Get path to example survey file
  survey_path <- system.file("examples", "sd_ui.qmd",
                             package = "surveydown")

  # Copy to a temporary directory
  temp_dir <- tempdir()
  file.copy(survey_path, file.path(temp_dir, "basic_survey.qmd"))
  orig_dir <- getwd()
  setwd(temp_dir)

  # Define a minimal server
  server <- function(input, output, session) {

    # Create a respondent ID to store
    respondentID <- 42

    # Store the respondentID
    sd_store_value(respondentID)

    # Store the respondentID as the variable "respID"
    sd_store_value(respondentID, "respID")

    sd_server()
  }

  # Run the app
  shiny::shinyApp(ui = sd_ui(), server = server)

  # Clean up
