Textmate/ SWeave: Error PDF file not written to disk

I played with it a little more and I think I have gotten it to work  
properly for me. I still don't entirely understand why this works  
(!) so follow at your own risk :) First a bit of clarification, I  
set my TextMate up with TM_LATEX_COMPILER set to latexmk.pl (in  
TextMate Preferences). Then these 2 changes are made.

1)
need new version of latexmk.pl in . The original version is 3.07a, I  
got the one from
   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk/
which is 4.05. It should be at
   ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/ 
SWeave.tmbundle/Support/bin/latexmk.pl
which might be different if you installed it using other methods.


2)
In "Sweave, Typeset & View", change a line in run_tex()
from
   else "$TEX" -f -r "${TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT}/latexmkrc" "$1"
to
   else "$TEX" -f -pdf "$1"

* I am not sure why I need to call -pdf to get it to produce the pdf  
while wasn't needed in the original version.
* I don't have latexmkrc in my support directory and this option was  
making latexmk.pl unhappy.


Note:
* you still need Sweave.sty somewhere
* I commented out the standard error pipe in my last post. But with  
these changes I can (and should) revert the change.

Hope this helps. It would be great if someone can fix this properly  
instead of using some voodoo hack.

I ran into the same problem today (at least the symptoms matched)  
and it took me some time to figure this out... Basically I solved  
this by copying the file Sweave.sty to the same directory as the  
the .rnw file. I suppose you can also try to add the path to  
Sweave.sty. But then, by having the file in the same directory,  
when you send your stuff to other people, it is more likely that  
you will include it and prevent your collaborators from having the  
same problem.

Yes, that's one problem (I solved it by copying the Sweave.sty into  
my texmf-local directory). Unfortunately, it does not solve my real  
problem, because the Sweave does work (--> the .tex-file is  
produced).

A related issue is that the "missing Sweave.sty" error isn't shown  
in the TextMate output when you run "Sweave, Typeset, & View" even  
though it looks like it should.
 run_tex "$FILE" 2>&1| latexErrWarnHtml.py -v

I haven't really looked into this though. For now I just comment  
out the redirecting part
run_tex "$FILE" # 2>&1| latexErrWarnHtml.py -v
so that I can see the LaTeX errors.

I agree - the problem should lie in the following portion of code  
in the Sweave.tmbundle:

run_tex () {
if [ "$TEX" != latexmk.pl ]
	then "$TEX" ${TM_LATEX_OPTIONS:=-interaction=nonstopmode -file- 
line-error-style} "$1"
	else "$TEX" -f -r "${TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT}/latexmkrc" "$1"
fi
}

# Compile.
run_tex "$FILE" 2>&1| latexErrWarnHtml.py -v


Unfortunately my skills are to limited to track the error ... maybe  
someone else has an idea?

Best regards,

Dear list,

I encountered a problem in the combination of Textmate and the  
SWeave
bundle: when I start "Sweave, typeset & View", the .Rnw-file is
processed, but the log window shows "Error: PDF file not written to
disk" and the tex-file is not processed.

However, the sweaving was successful, as a valid .tex-file is in  
the
same folder which can be typesetted without problem.
So, in general it works, I just want to avoid the extra step of
opening the .tex-file and would like to see my pdf directly from
SWeave-Bundle.

Did anyone encounter the same problem / any suggestions for  
solutions?

Best regards,
Felix
