non-zero exit status

[tmp23]

Hi, I tried to run this code on Mac OSX with Anaconda and Java 8:

import tabula
df = tabula.read_pdf("https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula-java/raw/master/src/test/resources/technology/tabula/arabic.pdf") print(df)

I got this error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.Integer.compare(II)I at technology.tabula.TextChunk.isLtrDominant(TextChunk.java:179) at technology.tabula.TextElement.mergeWords(TextElement.java:266) at technology.tabula.TextElement.mergeWords(TextElement.java:105) at technology.tabula.detectors.NurminenDetectionAlgorithm.detect(NurminenDetectionAlgorithm.java:178) at technology.tabula.CommandLineApp.extractTables(CommandLineApp.java:161) at technology.tabula.CommandLineApp.main(CommandLineApp.java:60) Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 3, in <module> df = tabula.read_pdf("https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula-java/raw/master/src/test/resources/technology/tabula/arabic.pdf") File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tabula/wrapper.py", line 54, in read_pdf_table output = subprocess.check_output(args) File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 626, in check_output **kwargs).stdout File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 708, in run output=stdout, stderr=stderr) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['java', '-jar', '/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tabula/tabula-0.9.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar', '--pages', '1', '--guess', '4931.pdf']' returned non-zero exit status 1

Any idea what might cause this? thanks!

I can't reproduce your error.

It seems tabula-java issues. How about using tabula-java directly as follows:

java -jar /path/to/jar/tabula-0.9.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p 1 -g arabic.pdf

Thanks for looking into this! It turns out terminal was running an old version of java http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12757558/installed-java-7-on-mac-os-x-but-terminal-is-still-using-version-6
