Errors resulting from running memoize locally: (\pdfpageattr undefined), (No file MWE.memo.dir/...)

Question

I am trying to move to locally running my documents. In doing this, I have actually been quite successful - all of my packages except one are running smoothly.

Pardon me if this is a silly question, but I can't seem to get memoize to work right now - which is strange, since it worked before. I just want some help troubleshooting the error.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{memoize} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \tikz \draw[red] (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); Hello World! \tikz \draw[green] (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); \end{document}

The log is huge, so I will post a snippet of it.

c:/Users/twill/TeX_Folder/MWE.tex:5: Undefined control sequence. <argument> \pdfpageattr {/Rotate 0} l.5 \tikz \draw[red] (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

no I just tried on lualatex and I get the same, you could try adding \usepackage{luatex85} before memoize to give the pdflatex names in lualatex but that should never be needed. there are others here with more knowledge of memoize though who will probably answer — David Carlisle

@Jasper I just came back to delete my comment. I can reproduce without updating my system ;). now I have my own log ;). — cfr

@Jasper no, I mean NOT that ;). my guess is your log has the same error over and over. in any case, can you try adding \makeatletter\def\mmz@shipout@unrotate{}\makeatother to your preamble and see if that works? — cfr

@cfr you are right, it was in my working directory. It runs in a clean one — Jasper

@cfr the problem was that you cant use \makeatother in a .sty (in my document) that's why it worked in a clean directory when I used it in the preamble. — Jasper

Update: should be fixed in v1.4.1 if I'm not mistaken.

Reported at https://github.com/sasozivanovic/memoize/issues/34#issue-2708360076.

Workaround:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{memoize} \usepackage{tikz} \ExplSyntaxOn \makeatletter \sys_if_engine_luatex:T { \def\mmz@shipout@unrotate{}% } \makeatother \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \tikz \draw[red] (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); Hello World! \tikz \draw[green] (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); \end{document}

Note that this may cause problems if you use pdflscape and create externs in landscape orientation when compiling with LuaTeX. I haven't checked this, but, if LuaTeX is used, the code undoes a commit intended to fix an issue with pdflscape. However, since that fix actually breaks memoize whether landscape is used or not when LuaTeX is used, undoing provides at least a quick fix if you're not rotating memoized content.

@Jasper do you use TeX Live or MikTeX? Either way, don't remove it yet, no. The fix is on CTAN, but it takes at least a day or two for TeX Live to pick it up and the mirrors to sync. TeX Live picking it up requires somebody to manually re-package it from CTAN. But they are usually very quick. MikTeX usually take longer. — cfr

@Jasper I just got the update from the Warwick server, so TL seem to have picked it up. — cfr
