Minted in imported .tex files gives Error: Missing Pygments

[casper-hansen]

I'm on Overleaf, using pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2017.7.12)

My setup is that I do this for every chapter:

\chapter{Implementation}
    \import*{chapters/}{implementation.tex}

But if I write any code in implementation.tex, minted gives me the error. If I just write it in my main document, minted works. I'm wondering why it won't work with import?

I tried different supposed solutions from stackexchange, with regards to how you import it. Including frozencache, cache, outputdir.

\openout3 = `output.pyg'.

the outputdir package option, or may be using an incompatible build tool,
or may be using frozencache with a missing file.

This could be caused by using -output-directory or -aux-directory 
without setting minted's outputdir, or by using a build tool that 
changes paths in ways minted cannot detect, 
or using frozencache with a missing file.

This is a known incompatibility with the import package. See https://github.com/gpoore/minted/issues/172.

[casper-hansen]

Thanks, I guess this can be closed, if it is duplicate. Has this been added to the documentation yet? I could not really find anything about it.

[gpoore]

It looks like the other issue got closed before a note was added to the documentation. So I am going to reopen this issue to make sure that it gets into the documentation this time.

You know if it is realted to this: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/531738/minted-environment-not-working-in-overleaf ? Is the yo' solution

usepackage[outputdir=../]{minted}

a valid one. I am not able to use it.

@sebacea This issue is primarily about the import package, which is incompatible with minted. What you linked to is related to Overleaf's internal functionality, which is a different situation and something that minted cannot address. It appears that the solution for the linked Overleaf situation is to avoid using subdirectories.

[JoostScheffer]

I noticed that unfortunately the same problem arises when using the subfiles package

[jeyci94]

So if I have an overleaf a folder structure similar to: \maindir -- \subdir1 -- \subdir2 --- \Resources ---- Preamble.tex --- main.tex Meaning, the main.tex file is under \subdir2 and at the same level as the /Resources folder, while the Preamble.tex with all the /usepackage is under \Resources. Is there then no way minted will work this way? Do I have to forcefully move the files from the folders they currently are?
