George, could you be so kind as to either attach the zipped log file to this issue—not via email though, this apparently doesn’t work—or to send it to Martin and me at letexml@le-tex.de?

I got this log file by running d2t in the directory above where the .tex file was located by using the command:
$d2t 802\ Spring\ 2021/pset4newproblems.docx

I get similar problems if I go into that subdirectory and simply run:
d2t pset4newproblems.docx

Here's the log file:
pset4newproblems.d2t.log.zip

But it seems to run until the end without a severe error. Does it produce any output, that is, a .tex file?

I don’t know what to make of No such file or directory - file:/Users/gsfs/Documents/GSFS/Teaching/802%20Spring%202021/pset4newproblems.docx.tmp/word/embeddings/oleObject1.bin. Maybe the MathType→MathML converter is expecting a file path instead of a file URI?

Can you send me the docx input? If you don’t want to attach it here publicly you can send it to letexml@le-tex.de⁠.

I made a short test file. Here's the input, output, and log:
test.docx
test.tex.zip
test.d2t.log
I had to zip the output because drag and drop for a .tex file didn't work. The output looks OK except for the equations.
Finally, here's the output and log with the same file but in a directory without blank spaces in the name:
noblanks.tex.zip
noblanks.d2t.log

@sbulka, can you have a look at it? I reproduced the issue on Cygwin. I put test.docx into a directory C:\test dir\ and called, from the directory that I cloned docx2tex into recursively, ./d2t -d /cygdrive/c/test\ dir/test.docx in Cygwin or cmd /c d2t.bat "c:/test dir/test.docx" in a Windows shell.

For both invocations, I get errors such as:

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - file:/C:/test%20dir/test.docx.tmp/word/embeddings/oleObject6.bin
      initialize at org/jruby/RubyFile.java:368

      initialize at uri:classloader:/mathtype.rb:16
          <main> at <script>:1

despite the file URIs pointing to existing files. Could it be that jruby is having problems with percent encoding in file URIs?

While you’re at it, you might want to look at this message:

I will investigate, may take some time though.

Ok, the mathtype-extension expliticly states it only accepts file paths, no URI. I don't think we can change this easily. https://github.com/transpect/mathtype-extension#options

solution:

The issue also occured on a path containing '#' for me (Windows, no cygwin). Should also be solved if the unescaped os-path is used.

Regarding the reflection warning, I couldn't reproduce that. Maybe it's a matter of java version? Mine is:

openjdk version "16" 2021-03-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 16+36-2231)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16+36-2231, mixed mode, sharing)

Thanks for your advice. I've got the Java warning too:

unsupported Java version "15", defaulting to 1.7

My Java:

java version "15.0.2" 2021-01-19
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15.0.2+7-27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15.0.2+7-27, mixed mode, sharing)

Since it's stated that the Java version "15" is unsupported, it might be sufficient to just include a more recent JRuby version?
