Problem spawning chktex, though I have it in my PATH (on osx Yosemite) #4

Closed guziy closed 9 years ago

guziy commented 9 years ago

Hi:

I get this error in Atom:

/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/src/buffered-process.js:260 Uncaught BufferedProcessError: Failed to spawn command chktex. Make sure chktex is installed and on your PATH

although 

which chktex

prints the following

/usr/texbin/chktex

The files are compiled fine... I am not sure how to solve this..

Thanks

Does it work if you set the chktexExecutable parameter listed in the readme to /usr/texbin?

guziy commented 9 years ago

No it does not:

I tried using folder and executable paths...

Maybe I did something wrong in the cson file...

Below I've copy-pasted the file:

""" "*": "exception-reporting": userId: "7b0f20db-21f5-9e50-efb7-362f642534ce" welcome: showOnStartup: false core: disabledPackages: [ "linter-flake8" "linter-chktex" ] editor: invisibles: {} linter: subtleLinterErrors: [ "flake8" "pylint" ] "linter-pylint": executable: "/Users/san/Python/virtualenvs/py3.4/bin/pylint" "linter-flake8": executableDir: "/Users/san/Python/virtualenvs/py3.4/bin/" ignoreErrorCodes: [ "E501" ] "linter-chktex": chktexExecutable: "/usr/texbin"

"""

Thanks

I'm sorry you're having this problem! It doesn't look like you did anything wrong. I don't have a Mac to test on, but I'll check and see if I can get someone else to try to reproduce it. In the meantime, if anyone can reproduce this and debug it, a pull request would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Nolen:

I've changed the

'linter-chktex': chktexExecutable: ....

to

'linter-chktex': chktexExecutablePath: ....

And it seems working OK.. Probably the example from the settings section in the README should be changed?

Cheers

You're right! Bad documentation on my part :hankey:

I'll fix it, and thanks for reporting back!

JonnyCBB commented 9 years ago

@nscaife just so you are aware the README says

'linter-chktex':
    executablePath: "C:\\texlive\\2014\\bin\\win32"

But this didn't work for me. When I changed the text in the file to 

'linter-chktex':
    chktexExecutablePath: "C:\\texlive\\2014\\bin\\win32"

as mentioned above then it worked for me. I believe this should be changed in the README.

Thanks for the package btw. It's awesome :+1:

Sorry to bring up this questions again, but although explicating setting the exe path works for me, it cannot read from PATH to set it by itself...
