pretext-cli and publication file

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

At today's drop-in meeting I was working with Steven for a bit on using the CLI.

In the project.ptx file that is created from the CLI, I have the line

<publication>publication/publication.ptx</publication>

in each of my targets.

I have a publication file at that location, with the lines

<source webwork-problems="../generated-assets/webwork/webwork-representations.ptx">
    <directories external="../assets" generated="../generated-assets"/>
</source>

But when I run 'pretext build html -w -d' I get the following message:

PTX: a publisher file specifying /publication/source/@generated is not in use. WeBWorK representations will be in /home/sean/Documents/APEXCalculusPTX-CLI/ptx/../generated-assets/webwork

Despite this message, the WeBWorK representations are, in fact, being generated in 

/home/sean/Documents/generated-assets/webwork

So I think this means I can ignore this message?

Shooting from the hip:

Try removing

source/@webwork-problems

Functional? No error message?

[Rob Beezer]

Dear Sean,

If you were able to confirm my suspicions, then I could upgrade the error
message to suggest the "fix".

Dear Rob,

I haven't had an opportunity to test.

Company over the long weekend and no school this week.

I'll try to get to it soon.

Sean

Thanks, no real rush. Just didn't want it to get lost.

Right. That crossed my mind, and I figured it was a non-issue for CLI *authors
and publishers*, but perhaps you'll need adjustments on the *developer* end (or
not!).

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

Some progress on this: there was a file extension mismatch: the publication file specified webwork-representations.ptx, but what is created is webwork-representations.xml

Fixing that gets rid of the CLI warning. (But as you suggest, this shouldn't need to be specified in the first place -- there's a bit of a mismatch between latest PTX and the current pretext-cli.)

There is still a PTX warning. It complains about not being able to find a publisher file specifying /publication/source/@generated (this should  be /publication/source/directories/@generated)

Is this a bigger problem than a typo in the warning?

Making an issue for the inaccurate warning text would be a big help.

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

Everything seems to work correctly despite the warning.

I believe Alex was going to look into it.

I do not understand why the warning is triggered. This evening I
intend to "pretext init" the sample webwork chapter and see if I can
get the same warning to trigger.

The warning says the wrong thing, and I think it should say what I opened here:
https://github.com/PreTeXtBook/pretext/pull/1675
