Can't Find Log File: Breaks Plot Display

[arnavs]

I'm having trouble seeing the plots output from this package, because of errors like the following:

julia> Plot(Table([x, y]))
Error showing value of type Plot:
ERROR: SystemError: opening file "/var/folders/vs/_z3qvhsx2y9g7tg76m0syg4h0000gn/T/jl_ZAG6fC.log": No such file or directory

This happens on every plot I try to run. For my system:

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.2.0

You might have to do some digging here or produce a system or something where it can be reproduced. We run latex in this function:

Adding some @show about what the file is, the command that is run, and finally, why the log file doesn't show up might give some info about what is going wrong.

@KristofferC I'm closing this, as I saw the following error message while doing something unrelated (compiling a latex PDF). This suggests it's just a problem with my system's TeX installation:

   (Pdf)LaTeX didn't generate the expected log file '/Users/arnavsood/Research/infrastructure/latex-actions/doc.log'

Let's try improve the error message we emit here anyway.
