Error generating PDF: lstat(./pdflatex) failed #35

Closed davidjr82 closed 2 years ago

I got this error when running from the application, but if I run the exact command in the bash, I get the PDF:

lstat(./pdflatex) failed: ./pdflatex: No such file or directory kpathsea: Can't get directory of program name: ./pdflatex

Any ideas why is this happening?

Ubuntu 20.04
PHP 8.0
Using Laravel with Laravel Forge in Linode
pandoc --version outputs pandoc 2.17.0.1 (and more)
pdflatex--version outputs pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019/Debian) (and more)

I will answer myself. From the symfony process, pandoc cannot find the pdflatex engine. It is solved adding the full path of the pdf engine as an option:

(...)->option('pdf-engine', '/usr/bin/pdflatex')

Thanks!
