Hi everyone,
for the documentation of my LaTeX courses I use examples that show the
output next to the source code. I'm contemplating whether I should
convert the documentation and examples to org, and use org-babel to
include the examples. I think this should be possible with org-babel.
However, I cannot manage to get this to work:
#+begin_example
Blabla
#+begin_src latex :file test.pdf
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a test
\end{document}
#+end_src
Blabla
#+end_example
Looking at the temporary latex file (see below) the reason is clear: Org
babel exports this as a complete latex file although the example itself
is already complete. Can I tell org somehow that this is not a fragment
and should be compiled as is?
Best,
Denis

Hmmm, even this tells me "Code block produced no output"
#+begin_example
Test
#+begin_src latex :file asdf.pdf
Blabla
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_export latex
#+end_export
Test
#+begin_example
But I can compile the temporary tex file without problems.
I'm probably missing something fundamental...
Best,
Denis

If you want to show the LaTeX, you need to add ":exports code" to the

:exports code works. But the problem with the other options is that the
compilation fails. But I cannot tell why. It just tells me "Code block
produced no output".
How can you diagnose such an issue?

This is not surprising as the LaTeX src blocks are expected to be LaTeX
body only, not preamble etc. I.e. in your case, just the line that says
"This is a test". You may wish to look at org-format-latex-header,
org-babel-latex-preamble, org-babel-latex-end-env, ...

You can sometimes find the org babel files created in /tmp.

Exactly, I've found that out by looking at the file in temp. Testing
with body only failed as well! I can however manually compile the
temporary file.
Anyway: This means you cannot switch to using complete files? I was
hoping for something like
:fragment nil
or
:complete-doc t

Anything else? I've found those files, but I was wondering whether Emacs
could give me some more useful debug infos? (Especially since compiling
the temporary files works...)

Nothing else I know about. It's one of the weak points in the whole
babel ecosystem... If the underlying system writes to stderr, this does
get sent back to the user, but most src blocks fail silently when they
fail which is very frustrating.

Hmm... Actually, I cannot reproduce the problem using emacs -Q and the
latest main.
Having bug.org:
-------------------
Blabla
#+begin_src latex :file test.pdf
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a test
\end{document}
#+end_src
Blabla
-------------------
I ran C-c C-e l o
And got the expected pdf file open.
