langston-barrett commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm getting the following traceback:


Import failed. Debugging info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/nix/store/j2lcps7zkkm558r1v27mj3xx27wclijx-anki-2.0.36/lib/python2.7/site-packages/aqt/importing.py", line 294, in importFile

Any ideas why?

langston-barrett commented 6 years ago

Ah, it's because I didn't have a 

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

at the beginning nor a 

\end{document}

at the end. Perhaps there's a better way to notify the user of their silly mistake?

TentativeConvert commented 6 years ago

Yes, there probably are better ways of notifying the user. On the other hand, there's probably more than one possible cause for this error. For example, what happens if you only have 

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document

in your document with nothing in between? Plan:

(1) Find out all possible causes of this error. (2) Catch the bug. (3) Write up a helpful error message.

Unfortunately, I don't have any time to put this plan into action right now …

Should be fixed in the 2.1-version by 05584daf839344406b00a0d50c82bf421795e45f. Waiting for user feedback before deploying this via Ankis website. See https://github.com/TentativeConvert/LaTeX-Note-Importer-for-Anki/issues/8#issuecomment-787076500.
