Builder error

#1

There was apparently a LaTeXTools update and now I get the following error when trying to build:

TraditionalBuilder: Engine: pdflatex. Invoking latexmk…

COULD NOT COMPILE!

Build engine: Traditional Builder

After a view of console, the last few lines are:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/lmiller/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/LaTeXTools/makePDF.py”, line 316, in run
self.caller.builder.set_output(out.decode(self.caller.encoding,“ignore”))
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘decode’

Not sure what needs to be done to fix. Any help is appreciated.

I have released a new version, which should fix this. So just check for updates.

This error appeared today after the update. I’m running Linux Mint. So I’m guessing it was actually caused by this update.

Yes introduced in v3.12.12 fixed in v3.12.13. Press ctrl+shift+p and run Package Control: Upgrade Package and select LaTeXTools and maybe restart Sublime Text to reload all imports.

I have got a similar error. How did you detect the python error? I am using Build 3143 and ubuntu 17.10, so I am using python3 by default.

And how did you fix that at last?

TraditionalBuilder: Engine: pdflatex. Invoking latexmk... 

COULD NOT COMPILE!

Attempted command:latexmk -cd -f -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 yerong.tex

That error occurs when there’s an issue running latexmk. Usually this means you either don’t have TeXLive or latexmk installed.

Assuming you installed TeXLive via apt-get, you also need to install the latexmk package as mentioned in the installation docs.

Failing that, there may be more helpful output in the ST console (View -> Console).
