Latex-workshop: Invoking shell-escape flag (again)

[sbacelar]

This is to reopen my issue #913.
To invoke shell-escape flag I tried this in my user settings:

 "latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "tools": [
                "pdflatex",
                "bibtex",
                "pdflatex",
                "pdflatex"
            ]       
        },
    ],
    "latex-workshp.latex.tools":[{
        "name": "latexmk",
        "command": "pdflatex",
        "--shell-escape",
        "%O",
        "%S"
    }],

But I got errors. Is this right?

[sbacelar]

I tried this but I got problems with the bibliography. What have I done wrong?

 "latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "tools": [
                "latexmk",
                "bibtex",
                "latexmk",
                "latexmk"
            ]

        },
    "latex-workshp.latex.tools": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "command": "pdflatex",
            "args ": [
                "-pdf",
                "-pdflatex=\"pdflatex --shell-escape %O %S\""
            }
        ]

Sorry, there was a typo in my previous post. latexmk already takes care of the bibliography.

"latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "tools": [
                "latexmk"
            ]

        },
    "latex-workshp.latex.tools": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "command": "latexmk",
            "args ": [
                "-pdf",
                "-pdflatex=pdflatex -shell-escape %O %S"
            }
        ]

[sbacelar]

There were some typos also in latex-workshop.latex.tools. Now corrected:
```
"latex-workshop.latex.tools": [
{
"name": "latexmk",
"command": "latexmk",
"args ": [
"-pdf",
"-pdflatex=\"pdflatex --shell-escape %O %S\""
]
}
]

But problems remain. Here is part of the output:

Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 7 August 2018, version: 4.59.

(and so on...). And ends with:

! Package minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag.

I must say that the same file compiles well with Emacs (AucTeX).

[jlelong]

Does it work if you directly run latexmk -pdf -pdflatex="pdflatex --shell-escape %O %S" from the command line?

From the log, latexmk is not running withe the right arguments. Are you sure you do not have a second tool with the same name?

[sbacelar]

Yes, now it compiles well from the command line. I don't understand what happens when I don't use the command line. I don't see any second tool with the same name (latexmk).
These are the first lines of the output (they are different from those above):

[jlelong]

Clearly, latex-workshop does not launch the correct tool, so there must be something wrong in there.

[sbacelar]

I found the solution in StackExchange:

// in USER SETTINGS add the following
"latex-workshop.latex.tools": [
    {
        "name": "latexmk",
        "command": "latexmk",
        "args": [
            "--shell-escape", // added arg to default
            "-synctex=1",
            "-interaction=nonstopmode",
            "-file-line-error",
            "-pdf",
            "%DOC%"
        ]
    },
    {
        "name": "pdflatex",
        "command": "pdflatex",
        "args": [
            "--shell-escape", // added arg to default
            "-synctex=1",
            "-interaction=nonstopmode",
            "-file-line-error",
            "%DOC%"
        ]
    },
    {
        "name": "bibtex",
        "command": "bibtex",
        "args": [
            "%DOCFILE%"
        ]
    }
]
