Hello,
When I hit C-c C-c on a latex src block with a :file header, I ultimately get an error from org-compile-file that the expected output file in a temp directory was not produced. However, the file is produced in the current directory.
For instance, evaluating the src block in the following Org document,
* A Little Diagram
#+BEGIN_SRC latex :file diagram.pdf :packages '(("" "tikz")) :border 1em
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}
\begin{tikzpicture}[->, auto, node distance=3cm]
\node [draw] (A) {A};
\node [ellipse, draw, right of=A] (B) {B};
\path (A) edge node {message} (B);
\end{tikzpicture}
#+END_SRC
Gives me the error,
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "File \"/var/folders/n6/0j2z684n2pq_0d5kphzzvjs80000gn/T/babel-7327204x/latex-73272sec.pdf\" wasn’t produced. See \"*Org PDF LaTeX Output*\" for details")
While the *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer says,
...
Output written on latex-73272sec.pdf (1 page, 12285 bytes).
...
and sure enough the file is there in the same directory as the .org file I am editing.
I understand that the .tex file is in that temp directory, but pdflatex is dumping its output into the current directory. Is this a known (or even already-fixed) issue?
Org mode version 9.0.1 (9.0.1-elpaplus @ /Users/acowley/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161118/)

I cannot reproduce it. What Org version are you using? What is the value
of `org-latex-pdf-process'?

Hi Nicolas, the org version I included in that original email was:
Org mode version 9.0.1 (9.0.1-elpaplus @ /Users/acowley/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161118/)
However I have since fixed the issue I was having. The problem was three-fold:
- My `org-latex-pdf-process` was a call to latexmk that did /not/ set `-outdir`. This was fine for exporting a document as LaTeX as all the work happened in the one directory, but evaluating a LaTeX src block involves a temporary directory.
- The value substituted for the `%o` placeholder in `org-latex-pdf-process` included a trailing slash which prevented it from working due to a double slash appearing in constructed paths (looking at my notes, I seem to have removed this parameter because of this problem). I now set `-outdir` to the output of a sub-shell that pipes `%o` through sed to remove the trailing slash.
- I still encountered an error when evaluating the src block even though the PDF was being produced. The error was during cleanup of temporary files, specifically a .log file. The failure to delete a nonexistent file was stopping the Org machinery that would next insert the result in my document. I addressed this by changing the second parameter of the call to `directory-files` in the `org-latex-compile` function from `nil` to `t` so that it would return absolute paths.
Since making those three changes, I am able to evaluate LaTeX src blocks and have the resulting figures appear in my Org document.
Thanks for all the hard work, and sorry I didn't follow up on my own report more promptly.
Anthony
