publish book to Quarto Pub

[PythonCoderUnicorn]

Hi,

I have my book files in a folder, i ran the quarto publish quarto-pub inside the folder directory, the files render fine but the book fails to be published due to an error in my yaml file. I have tried publishing over an hour now with each time removing things from my yaml file (such as biblio file)

my yaml file, the comment was to allow my custom styling as shown, i had both together but even just darkly fails.

but my error

do you know how I can fix this?

(with each fail, i delete the npr in Quarto Pub)

I'm sorry you've run into this! Everything certainly looks ok in the yaml, so I'm not sure what is happening. If you render each of the differing formats, (e.g. quarto render --to pdf, quarto render --to epub, quarto render --to html) each of those succeeds without any complaints about the YAML?

I did try the quarto render --to pdf, quarto render --to epub commands which failed to work.

I originally meant was the theme: arguments is where it says it is wrong, but having ran each file and plot I know that there is nothing actually wrong just warnings from packages and one regarding the igraph package argument.

Since struggling with getting this to work, i have deployed the book using GitHub pages which is not truly where I wanted the book to live, but does prove that the book works just fine (with the custom scss file).

Each chapter section gets run in the terminal with 100%'s then at the end is the same error

YAML parse exception at line 23, column 26:
mapping values are not allowed in this context

there is only purrr::map_chr() which reads in Gutenberg books and makes them into a dataframe (the code works), but no mapping otherwise.

TidyText ... /unnamed-chunk-10-1.pdf is an error but in the file the code chunk is:

so the code executes just fine but does not want to be a pdf even though my yaml still says `project: type: book'

this is a mystery.

Is there any chance you could share this in a repo that I could use to reproduce this? Without seeing the complete project yaml its very hard to try to diagnose. If the _quarto.yml was invalid, I would expect each and every render to fail.

the project directory i am running the quarto terminal commands : NLPR/NLPR/
as the NLPR/docs/ exists which is running the GH pages.

Hmmmmm... I synced locally and just remove a couple of code cells from the qmd files and all formats rendered fine for me. One potential difference occurs to me- the Quarto version. I am using the latest pre-release (v.1.2.x) - what version are you using?

Aside from that the front matter/yaml all looked reasonable to me.

[PythonCoderUnicorn]

in my terminal quarto -v returned 1.1.251

[dragonstyle]

OK that is a pretty recent release. I just pushed my exact forked repo - any chance you can try rendering exactly that repo?

It appears that your current installation of TeX is missing some required packages and is the 2021 version of TeX (which can no longer connect to the TeXLive repo to download packages since that has been updated). We've been working on trying to improve this experience in the pre-release version of Quarto.

• You could correct the TeX issue yourself (if you're familiar with TeX and the environment). This could entail manually doing so, or using the TinyTex package if that is how this was installed.

• You could try:

1. Installing the latest pre-release of Quarto https://quarto.org/docs/download/prerelease.html
2. Installing TinyTex using quarto install tool tinytex which should install the most recent version of TinyTex and use that.

• You can remove the pdf format from your _quarto.yaml

[PythonCoderUnicorn]

Quarto version: 1.2.144
updated TinyTex
commented-out the pdf: documentclass: scrreport

and i reverted back to the commit prior to the fork & merge.

yet i still get the error YAML parse exception at line 23, column 26: mapping values are not allowed in this context

At this point i am not sure what to do. I think I will move on to other projects.

Thank you for your continued help on this.
