Error occurred while converting text from LaTeX to SVG

[DanielBiskup]

I have installed
Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371
ghostscript 9.06
pstoedit 3.62

When type something in the textext gui and click "preview" I get a preview as expected. When I click "save" a window with the heading "Error occurred while converting text from LaTeX to SVG:" opens, containing the following message:
u'{http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape}version' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/boris/.config/inkscape/extensions/asktext.py", line 491, in cb_ok self.callback(self.text, self.preamble_file, self.global_scale_factor) File "textext.py", line 224, in <lambda> old_node), File "textext.py", line 337, in do_convert self.document.getroot().attrib['{%s}version' % inkex.NSS["inkscape"]].split(' ')[0]).encode('string-escape') File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 2355, in lxml.etree._Attrib.__getitem__ (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:62354) KeyError: u'{http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape}version'

Is this in a new document or an old one?

I confirm this error. Strange. Will investigate this evening. Please stay tuned!

I wished to install TeXtext with inkscape and texlive. I installed the followings in order using installers with default setting. 1) Inkscape 0.92.2.exe (Python 2.7 interpreter checked) 2) TexText-Windows-0.7.1.exe
3)Install-PyGTK-2.24-Inkscape-0.92.2-64bit.exe 4)pstoeditsetup_x64.exe(.h,.lib, as well as plugins SVG,…checked) 5)ImageMagick-6.9.9-39-Q16-x64-static.exe(ImageMagick-6.9.7-x-Q16-x64-static.exe can no longer obtained from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ and I could only get ImageMagick-6.9.7-10.zip from there.) 6) gs920w64.exe The result is the same with Boris; Preview ok but error in svg save. The message is :u'{http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape}version'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "asktext.py", line 491, in cb_ok

File "textext.py", line 337, in do_convert
self.document.getroot().attrib['{%s}version' % inkex.NSS["inkscape"]].split(' ')[0]).encode('string-escape')

If this information is a duplicate annoyance please accept my apology. TeXText is wonderful tool for me to write figures for a physics paper and I have quit portable version after switching to texlive. Thank you.

I have the same issue, but only on one of my two computers/systems. Both have the same setup (as far as I know), but there is obviously some difference between them ... both running Antergos Linux and textext works just fine on one of them. Is there anything I can do to help out with the debugging (maybe compare something between my two systems)?

It seems that error occurs only for new documents, specifically script fails to extract inkscape version out of non-existing file:

textext/textext.py

Lines 336 to 337 in 4b4de50

	new_node.attrib['{%s}inkscapeversion' % TEXTEXT_NS] = (
	self.document.getroot().attrib['{%s}version' % inkex.NSS["inkscape"]].split(' ')[0]).encode('string-escape')

I'm not sure what is the real purpose of storing inkscape version, but commenting those two lines out fixes problem for me.

An obvious workaround is to save document before using this plugin.

[jcwinkler]

@sizmailov is right, the problem is the version attribute that TexText stores into its freshly created node. The reason for doing so is that we want to know with which version of Inkscape the node has been created with. History has been shown that it helps when processing nodes which have been created in older versions of Inkscape, e.g. if something has been changed in Inkscape.

Now, the problem is the following: If a node is created in an Inkscape document that has not been yet saved (i.e. a new document), then the inkscape version attribute (i.e. inkscape:version="0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06)") is not avaible in the svg node passed to Textext. In nodes that have already been saved once it is.

I failed to find this error during my testing and obviously I have been working with already saved documents the last weeks only...

Workaround: Save the document once before you begin editing with TexText.

I will provide a patch the next days.

I provided a fix in the master branch of my fork of the project. You need to replace your textext.py by the one from the branch (make a backup copy first!). Seems to work at a first glance here, but needs more thorough testing, of course. Will provide a pull-request as far as testing is finished.

Jan, indeed I was just trying at a new blank file. As sizmailov points, there occurs no error when editing an old SVG file by Inkscape. I now understand why Pit questioned to Boris if the file is new or old. Your texttext.py (with #10 correction) works fine!! Thank you for your Great help.
