In doc: quotes are turned into another utf-8 char, creating errors.

[dflvunoooooo]

If I try to run the CacheMeCode example I copied from the documentation, it wasn't working because of some wrong utf8 character (The code I pasted used ’ (U+2019) instead of ' (U+0027)). This was probably only a conversion error of the editor. But there was no robust-externalize log about this and the latex log was unprecise. If run with python directly, it said:

  File "test.py", line 5
    plt.xlabel(’Year’)
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid character '’' (U+2019)

Texstudio again only threw the error Package robExt Error: The pdf file. So maybe related to issue #9 ?

Here is the robust-externalize part of the latex log:

runsystem(mkdir -p robustExternalize/)...executed.

LaTeX does not know anything more about this error, sorry.

Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.

Yes, this error is exactly like #9 : this error message would be print in the command line, but for some reasons this is not written in the log directly… The problem of the copy/pasted character is however good to know, I'll try to see what I can do.

[dflvunoooooo]

Yes, but this time there is not even a log in the robust-extrenalized. Don't know if that matters.

Edit: The log which is named in the latex log does not exist.

[tobiasBora]

Yes, this is normal: the .log is actually created by latex when it compiles the cached image, but python does not create any log file by default… explaining why the log file does not exist.

[dflvunoooooo]

I see. Thank you for the clarification.

[tobiasBora]

The doc should be fixed now.
