Paths when using Windows
Inferrator opened this issue · 10 comments
When using texPreview in Windows, I get an error message
Error in tex_image(obj, stem, write_flag, overwrite) : pdf not rendered
So I ran it with cleanup=F and found that the tex_tempDoc file uses \ instead of / in the path. So no wonder it doesn't compile.
thank you for raising this issue.
can you attach the code that is creating the error and devtools::session_info() please. There are no explicit paths set in the package in order to have it be OS compatible.
Sure. Let me first provide a screenshot that documents everything:

Now for session info. I just realized that it is version 1.2.3, but that was the latest from CRAN.

thank you
so the github release should fix this issue.
if you could check it using
remotes::install_github('metrumresearchgroup/texPreview')We are submitting a new version to CRAN soon, this bug will prompt the submission sooner rather than later.
I am still seeing the exact same issue. Absolute path in the tex_tempDoc.tex file, and with \ instead of /
I think I know why. Take a look at build_lines.R, line 45
input_path <- normalizePath(file.path(fileDir,sprintf('%s.tex',stem)))
normalizePath is putting the windows backslashes in. It defaults to winslash = "\\" - which is creating the problem. Easy to fix. I'd do a pull request, but I am on my windows machine now where I haven't set up git yet.

can you paste the output from .Platform from your windows session. thanks
Yes, it works. winslash = '/' fixed the issue, i.e.
input_path <- normalizePath(file.path(fileDir,sprintf('%s.tex',stem)),winslash = '/')
I haven't tested if it still works on linux, but I don't see why not.

I think this is ready for CRAN. Btw, I love the package.
great.
We'll try to push out the update to CRAN this week.
Glad you like the package.
