Undefined control sequence with tinytex

[wjones127]

If I try to render the template locally on a Mac with:

quarto use template quarto-journals/acm
cd article
quarto install tinytex
quarto render article.qmd --to acm-pdf

I get:

compilation failed- error
Undefined control sequence.
l.182 \acmPrice
               {15.00}

Even though it appears tinytex is installing the acmart package:

updating existing packages
finding package for acmart.cls
> 1 package to install
> installing acmart (1 of 1)
  This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-0.999995 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=xelatex)
   restricted \write18 enabled.
  entering extended mode

It does work if I instead install a full MacTex installation, which is what I'm doing for now.

A colleague of mine reproduced this just now, so I think it's not just limited to my computer.

Thanks for reporting this!

The issue is that the most recent version of the acmart class removed acmPrice (your full installation of tex is likely providing an older version of the template):

https://github.com/borisveytsman/acmart/blob/049003167a3d4b78502ced539dfb8eb59aef6ffc/README#L17

There is something a bit more complicated in play here as we are attempting to include a static version of the class, but it isn't being used properly (due to the way we have the extension configured). I'll take a closer look and get a fix prepared that is general in this repo later today.

In the meantime, if you'd like you can remove \acmPrice{$acm-metadata.price$} from the template partial located in _extensions/quarto-journals/acm/partials/_acmart_preamble.tex to just get up and running if you'd like.
