How can I add dependencies for dynamically generated LaTeX tables? #6

Closed yingxingcheng closed 1 year ago

yingxingcheng commented 1 year ago

If one has a latex file like the following, and these tables are created by a python script. Is it possible to add dependencies for these latex tables?

\begin{document}

\input{table_1.tex}
\input{table_2.tex}
...
\input{table_100.tex}

\end{document}

They should get picked up automatically, but I noticed there were some issues with that due to some internals of latexmk. Fix is on the way...

Can you test if 98ea0f4 fixes your problem?

For future reference, the "solution" is to use \warninput instead of \input and to add the following to the preamble:

% \warninput command: like \input but prints a warning
% when a file is missing and lets latex carry on.
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\warninput}[1]{%
  \filename@parse{#1}%
  \InputIfFileExists{#1}{}{%
    \message{LaTeX Warning: File `%
    \filename@base.\ifx\filename@ext\relax tex\else\filename@ext\fi'%
    not found on input line \the\inputlineno}%
  }%
}
\makeatother

Not an elegant solution, but the best I can come up with so far.
