Closed geneh0 closed 2 years ago
@cdbeon Just so you're aware too
In the stat20 hub, which like publichealth also uses geospatial as the base Docker image, we install/update LaTeX packages with tlmgr
in the Dockerfile.
@geneh0 can you please provide some steps I can use to reproduce this issue?
Alternatively I can make the change described by @ryanlovett to upgrade ansmath and let you know when it has been deployed to the staging environment so you can test.
@ryanlovett actually I think stat20 is also likely to fail.
Apparently texlive updates every year in early April: https://www.tug.org/texlive/
I think the right solution is to instruct tlmgr to use the previous repo. https://www.tug.org/historic/
Trying the following in staging:
tlmgr repository add https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
tlmgr option repository https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
tlmgr --verify-repo=none update --self && tlmgr --verify-repo=none install amsmath
====
rstudio@jupyter-felder:~$ tlmgr repository add https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
tlmgr: added repository: https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
rstudio@jupyter-felder:~$ tlmgr option repository https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
tlmgr: setting default package repository to https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final
tlmgr: updating /usr/local/texlive/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
rstudio@jupyter-felder:~$ tlmgr --verify-repo=none update --self && tlmgr --verify-repo=none install amsmath

@geneh0 running the commands I listed in the previous comment seems to result in the proper package being installed. Can you please try similar in your environment and see if it works? If your tests indicate success, I'll make the changes to the Dockerfile.
@felder Ah, thanks for the heads up! I think these issues will go away when the images are rebased on repo2docker.
Edit: @felder if/when you make a PR to publichealth, would you mind doing the same for stat20?
@ryanlovett I just added a bit more to my comment above. Assuming this recipe works here, we'll probably want to update stat20's Dockerfile as well.
@felder I'm able to successfully knit after running the commands your previous comment. This is the sample document that I was using to test that didn't work before. However, I am noticing that it takes significantly longer to knit than expected.
@geneh0 Using the sample document I can see what you're saying. I think the issue is it's installing a bunch of packages and making you wait for that.
Clicking knit a second time after the first results in much faster rendering. I think if I have it install the missing packages it should make it faster. However, I am a bit confused as to why it's needing to do this now when it wasn't before. I'm going to look into that.
This is the list of packages that it pulls in.

@geneh0 I have fix queued up for this and I believe it will work, but unfortunately #3342 is keeping me from implementing it.
In the meantime, while I understand this is less than ideal, a workaround is to have students add the old repo as described above each time they launch their server and knit.
@felder Great! However, I'm not sure I understand the implication of the impact of #3342 on this.
But also for other folks who might be running into similar problems, I think running tinytex::tlmgr_update()
in the R console will get rid of the latex errors temporarily. I don't think this fix or the one mentioned previously are sustainable given the population of students we work it.
@geneh0 the implication of #3342 is that I cannot currently update the server image to incorporate the fix described above.
I understand the workaround is not sustainable. We are working on resolving #3342 as quickly as we can.
ischool is the only other hub other than stat20 and publichealth that is based on geospatial.
ischool does not require ottr, so I should be able to fix it.
@geneh0 ok I think I've pushed a fix for this. Please restart your server and try to knit.
When I knit using the sample document you provided, it's nearly instantaneous.
ottr works too:

> sessionInfo()

It is my belief this is fixed. Please reopen the issue if it is not.
It looks like the folks I've talked to have been able to knit. Thank you!
Bug description
Students are unable to knit to PDF and get the error below.
I don't think it's actually the outdated TexLive, but somehow
amsmath.sty
is missing now.I ran
kpsewhich amsmath.sty
and there is no output.Environment & setup
How to reproduce
Try knitting to PDF via the one-click interface.
