Equations not working at version 1.0.20 I get the yellow triangle

---

Hi, equations are not working for me, inline or standalone, I get this yellow triangle at the top right, and nothing gets rendered.

@clausqr could you send us a document where this happens for you, please?

Sure np:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hty6mq8qlqr6qjf/AABzhmHu8N9Xr8mjPcu9aoSva?dl=0

also as a hint, the tooltip coming from the yellow exclamation mark triangle reads: "Typesetting equations & inline math took longer than 10.000000 seconds"

Dear all,

I do have exactly the same problem (is it linked to latex installation??)

Also not working here, version 1.0.22. Open new document, insert equation or inline equation, nothing happens except yellow triangle.

The app spams Console quite a lot, here is the probably relevant error message:

update: still the same with 1.0.22

And looking at the spam dumped to console I see that all of sudden my notebook is running a web server???

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:10122
{"name":"Annotator Store API","version":"1.2.0"}

@tlasser I believe we have addressed this for the upcoming 1.0.23 update – thanks for the log entries, this helped us a lot in understanding the problem.

Do you have an estimate of when 1.0.23 will roll out?

@clausqr either tonight tomorrow night.

The new release solve the problem for me; thanks!

even if the yelow triangle remains.

and if I have to relauch the app every time that equations stopped to work (ie every 2-3 equations).

Hi,

The new version didn't fix the problem with equations. I still have the yellow triangle and once it appears the only solution is to restart the program.

I have also observed that if I start an equation with a normal letter I can be successful. But, if I start the equation (inline or the general one) with a LaTeX reserved word, the probability of error (yellow triangle) is very high.

For example, try to start your equation with "\Delta \sigma... " or "\sin x = ..."

Regards,

@dcalarcon, @yann.charles we have a further improvement on this in the works – the issue is to do with syntax error handling and not really recovering from it in a robust enough way yet. 1.0.24 improves this.

Hey matt! I finally got it working with 1.0.24, it made me go ahead and shell out my $!!!

@clausqr great stuff! We are still improving this in the release tonight some more (improving the error handling).

It's seems ok with the new version; I have to underline that it's very pleasant to be able to convers directly with the dvp team. Thanks for you effisciency!

Good WE
Regards

@yann.charles – we intend to be as responsive as we possibly can indeed, thank you!
