#' Render a 'shidashi' project
#' @param root_path the project path, default is the demo folder from
#' \code{template_root()}
#' @param ... additional parameters passed to \code{\link[shiny]{runApp}},
#' such as \code{host}, \code{port}
#' @param launch_browser whether to launch browser; default is \code{TRUE}
#' @param as_job whether to run as 'RStudio' jobs; this options is only
#' available when 'RStudio' is available
#' @param test_mode whether to test the project; this options is helpful when
#' you want to debug the project without relaunching shiny applications
#' @param prelaunch expression to execute before launching the session; the
#' expression will execute in a brand new session
#' @param prelaunch_quoted whether the expression is quoted; default is false
#' @return This functions runs a 'shiny' application, and returns the job id
#' if 'RStudio' is available.
