Scrivener workflow example fails

[KevinCoates]

Hi

Using your example Scrivener workflow, I'm having some problems. I've pasted the scrivener.log below. I'm afraid my knowledge of all this is very limited, so I'm not sure where to start.

From the scrivener.log, I see a couple of problems

::: The pandoc option 'reference_doc' (with value 'custom.docx') is not recognized by paru. This option is skipped.

and

::: pandoc: Error running filter authorSimplifyMetadata.rb
::: fd:3: hPutBuf: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
::: Error running pandoc => error while running:

On this second error: if I comment out the authorSimplifyMetadata.rb line in pandocomatic.yaml, I then get the same error in relation to prependall.rb. If I comment out them both, then the output files are generated with no apparent problems.

Any tips on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

Kevin

Hi @KevinCoates, sorry for the late reply! This is problem caused by Anaconda Python, which installs an old version of Pandoc that ends up being found first in the path:

---pandoc: /Users/kevin/anaconda3/bin/pandoc | V: 1.19.2.1

I think I fixed this already in 498ea96 — which is Scrivomatic V1.0.18, and if you redownload the workflow example it should contain the new scrivomatic.

I will close this, please reopen if the newer scrivomatic still does't work...
