meltuhamy / latex-watcher Goto Github PK

Hi @meltuhamy,

nice piece of work you did there. I'm currently using latex-watcher with the package minted (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/minted/) which forces the pdflatex flag -shell-escape to be set.
I just put that additional flag into line 86 of the compilePDFLatex function

compilePDFLatex = function(cb){
  process.stdout.write('  » pdflatex');
  var pdflatex      = spawn('pdflatex', ['-interaction=nonstopmode','-shell-escape',texName]);
  pdflatex.on('exit', function (code) {
    process.stdout.write((code==0 ? '\r  ✓ pdflatex'.green : '\r  × pdflatex'.red) + '\n');
    if(code != 0){
      displayErrors(cb);
    } else if(cb != undefined) cb();
  });
},

So, my latex-watcher command is not changed:

latex-watcher -c pdflatex,bibtex,pdflatex,pdflatex -t document.tex -b document

It would be nice to add the functionality of adding arbitrary flags and options to the run commands. Like

latex-watcher -c pdflatex[shell-escape],bibtex,pdflatex[shell-escape,anotherkey=anothervalue],pdflatex[shell-escape] -t document.tex -b document

If you like that feature i'll put a pull request here soon. If you are not interested in any contribution or action on this, just let me know.

Have a happy new year!

It would be nice to have a one-off compile option (e.g. latex-watcher --once -c pdflatex,clean -t main or latex-watcher --once -c clean). This would be nice since it's always a pain to clean up latex temp files.

Version of pdflatex: pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013)
Version of node: v0.10.26
When I run "latex-watcher -c pdflatex -t main -b main", it gets stuck with "Compiling -- pdflatex"
