I'm using LatexTools for Sublime 2. I want to add the parameter -shell-escape to the build command, but struggling. The documentation says not to edit 'LaTeX.sublime-build', but to edit 'LaTeXTools.sublime-settings'. I've tried doing this, setting "builder": "script" and the build settings as follows:

"builder_settings" : { // General settings: // See README or third-party documentation // (built-ins): true shows the log of each command in the output panel "display_log" : true, // Platform-specific settings: "osx" : { // See README or third-party documentation "program": "pdflatex", "command": ["latexmk", "-cd", "-e", "$pdflatex = '%E -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O'", "-f", "-pdf"] // "cmd": ["latexmk", "-cd", // "-e", "\\$pdflatex = 'pdflatex %O -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S'", // //"-silent", // "-shell-escape", // "-f", "-pdf"] }, "windows" : { // See README or third-party documentation }, "linux" : { // See README or third-party documentation } },

Which I think is what I need. But now when I try and build something, nothing happens.

Any suggestions on what to do?

What worked for me was adding "options": ["--shell-escape"], to builder_settings. The whole block looks like this for me:

"builder_settings" : { // General settings: // See README or third-party documentation // (built-ins): true shows the log of each command in the output panel "display_log" : false, "options": ["--shell-escape"], // Platform-specific settings: "osx" : { // See README or third-party documentation }, "windows" : { // See README or third-party documentation }, "linux" : { // See README or third-party documentation } },

Also, remember to delete all the auxiliary files before trying to build again.

  • For some reason, for me this setting was only applied after restarting Sublime Text. Commented May 1, 2019 at 13:00

I had similar problems, but these builder-settings eventually worked for me:

 "builder": "default", "builder_settings" : { // General settings: // See README or third-party documentation // (built-ins): true shows the log of each command in the output panel "display_log" : false, "program": "pdflatex", "command": ["latexmk", "-cd", "-e", "$pdflatex = '%E -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O'", "-f", "-pdf"], // Platform-specific settings: "osx" : { // See README or third-party documentation }, "windows" : { // See README or third-party documentation }, "linux" : { // See README or third-party documentation } },

My problem was Sublime itself. I had to install a package called Fix My Path so Sublime used the $PATH variable correctly and inkscape could be recognized.

  • This worked for me, but I did get a Log parsing issues. Disregard unless something else is wrong message, any idea why? Commented Aug 27, 2015 at 0:26
  • Can't help you there, sorry. It's been a long time, and I don't have the same environment anymore... Commented Aug 28, 2015 at 8:22
