Subfiles: textidote doesn't find my subfiles (\input)

[sim590]

Let the following minimal example:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\input{toto}
\end{document}

with toto.tex containing some text. Running the following:

textidote --check fr main.tex

produces:

TeXtidote v0.7.1 - A linter for LaTeX documents and others

File /toto not found (skipping)
Found 0 warning(s)
Total analysis time: 0 second(s)

Everything is OK!

It cannot find toto.tex even though the PDF file is compiled correctly. Changing \input{toto} to \input{toto.tex} doesn't help. What's wrong?

[sylvainhalle]

TeXtidote is not reading toto.tex, because its contents are not enclosed between \begin{document}/\end{document}. The --read-all option is what you need.

[sim590]

Even though I add --read-all, the file is not read. I have the same result.

[sim590]

It seems like I have to add toto.tex in the list of files on the command line even though the documentation seems to imply that textidote should follow the \inputs by itself.

[sim590]

I have just tried it in a docker image and it works there, but not on my regular environment. That is, the following works:

$ docker pull sim590/memoire:latest
$ docker run -it sim590/memoire:latest bash
$ (docker) wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sim590/a534d8c26c1c26bc9bc61df6bdae9fcc/raw/72910be72557c4d218d67f344ba9dc6d8f9c81f5/main.tex
$ (docker) wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sim590/a534d8c26c1c26bc9bc61df6bdae9fcc/raw/72910be72557c4d218d67f344ba9dc6d8f9c81f5/toto.tex
$ (docker) textidote --read-all --check fr main.tex

as you suggested. Outside of docker, I have to add toto.tex next to main.tex. That's weird. I'm wondering what's the difference.

Update

In a project of mine, this file is not read at all (while in docker). I get the following output which is not consistent:

TeXtidote v0.7.1 - A linter for LaTeX documents and others

Everything is OK!

However, if I feed it through stdin, it's read and I get a bunch of messages. It doesn't read the \inputs (even with --read-all).

For better transparency, here the content of the docker image:

[sylvainhalle]

This is strange indeed. I'll reopen and investigate further.

[rosslaird]

I'm having the same issue (on Arch) with \include files (even when --read-all is specified).

[PinkieSwirl]

Same issue on windows 10

My inputs look like this: \input{chapters/chap_1}
Changing it to \input{chapters/chap_1.tex} does not fix it.

Adding the files manually to the command works, but still produces above output (skipping..).

The document compiles fine.

[samuelstjean]

I have the same issue, it looks like it is trying to read from the root folder instead of the local folder somehow, for example my document contains

% \input{tex/intro.tex}
\input{tex/theory.tex}
% \input{tex/method.tex}
% \input{tex/experiments.tex}
% \input{tex/results.tex}
\input{tex/discussion.tex}
% \input{tex/conclusion.tex}
% \input{tex/appendix.tex}

which works fine for building the document (I use it to comment/uncomment subsections to work with). From textidote, I get this output

samuel ~/projects/noise_floor_effects/latex $ [latex (master)] textidote --html --check en --read-all main.tex > main.html

If I change the previous lines to use relative paths instead, I get as an output

Kind of like if it was always trying to read my partial documents from the root folder somehow, would that be the root cause of the issue? (pun fully intended). This is on ubuntu 16.04, and regarding the above post, if that's the issue, looks like the / and \ are not correctly used as windows would expect them I'd guess.

[sylvainhalle]

Thanks for the detailed diagnostics; I found where the problem is. I'll push a fix shortly.

[PinkieSwirl]

@sylvainhalle Did any further problems occur?

[haidaoxiaofei]

@sylvainhalle I find the grammar errors in input files cannot be detected! I tested, for example "He are bad" in subfiles cannot be detected, but it can be detected in the top level tex file. Do you have any idea about it?

By the way, I have a trick to "fix" the subfiles cannot be found bug, use the alias below:

texcheck='f(){ java -jar /Users/bigstone/workspace/myTools/textidote.jar --check en --html `pwd`/$1 > report.html }; f'

I find the problem is the getParent function cannot return the parent path, if the file path is relative path.

[sylvainhalle]

You're right, the problem is in getParent. I'll push a fixed version as soon as I have some time!
