Having a lot of trouble getting my images to work

[Jennifer Nordstrom]

I am trying to add TikZ images to my book. Here is what I'm trying. I add the new <latex-image> with the tikz code (as I have done before). Then I run xsltproc -xinclude ~/mathbook/xsl/mathbook-latex.xsl ~/books/igt/mbx-src/index.mbx (which seems to work). Then I do pdflatex index.tex (which also seems to work). Then I do /Users/jfirkins/mathbook/script/mbx -vv -c latex-image -f svg -d images /Users/jfirkins/books/igt/mbx-src/index.mbx   which now gives me an error--

 File "/Users/jfirkins/mathbook/script/mbx", line 1375, in <module>
    latex_image_conversion(args.xml_file, args.xmlid, args.data_dir, output_dir, 'svg')
  File "/Users/jfirkins/mathbook/script/mbx", line 165, in latex_image_conversion
    dest_dir = sanitize_directory(dest_dir)
  File "/Users/jfirkins/mathbook/script/mbx", line 1230, in sanitize_directory
    raise ValueError('directory {} does not exist'.format(dir))
ValueError: directory /Users/jfirkins/images does not exist

I don't know whether this is a problem. But the new image does not appear and my old images are shifted--so if I put the new image in as my second image, I get my old second image in its place, etc. So it is clearly trying to put an image where I want the new one, it just isn't creating the new one. I really don't feel like I know what I am doing with these images at all. I also need some of these images to use the sidbyside rather than figure tag. That didn't seem to make a difference, though. I go the exact same output.

Thanks for any help with this.

The last line is the meaningful error. Instead of -d images, I think you need to put the full path for where the images directory should live (/Users/jfirkins/books/…) instead of just images, since right now, it’s looking for an images directory /Users/jfirkins instead of where you want it to live.

Thank you, Mitch!! I got it working now.

Thanks, Mitch, for the fix.

Jen - you are not the first to get bit by this. My fault, which I should make a
priority to fix (so I've labeled it as a "bug").

Pssssst - we've all moved over to the "pretext-support" list, link on website
main page. See you over there. ;-)
