pdflatex on windows #27

Open acoastalfog opened 7 years ago

acoastalfog commented 7 years ago

With pdflatex clearly in my path and functional through the powershell terminal within Visual Studio Code, actually launching a pdf build through the command menu yields a momentary message, "generating [pdf]" and then no output, errors, or evidence that anything happened at all. Without any log output it's tough to debug...

If you try to compile the TeX file through PowerShell, what happens? When you do so, compile once with the flag "-interaction=nonstopmode" and once without. Can you post what the output is in both cases?

IIRC, I had a similar issues when my TeX file had egregious errors, or I already had the PDF open in Adobe.
