Problem when EXPORT_FILE_NAME contains a subdirectory

Problem when EXPORT_FILE_NAME contains a subdirectory

[Martin Marier]

Hi org users,

When trying to export a subtree as PDF in a subdirectory, I get this
error:
! I can't write on file `test.log'.

This is using this source:

* head 1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: pdf/test.pdf
  :END:
  Moo Moo Moo.
* head 2

This used to work fine with the old exporter.  It I remove the
subdirectory :
  :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: test.pdf

Everything works as expected.  Is this intended behavior?  Is there a
work around that would let me export to a subdirectory?

Thank you very much,
Martin

I just fixed a bug around the same area: when providing a relative path,
pdf file was produced but not found and process returned an error.
Though, the error message wasn't the same.

Could you test it again with an updated Org anyway?

Yes.  I just updated and I still get the same problem.  The full output
is here:

> Wrote /home/myHome/aFolderWithAnOrgFile/pdf/test.tex

Since I use the "run latex three times" option, this output appears
three times.  Thank you for looking into that!

I don't think it is related to Org.

Do you have write access on "test.log" file in that directory? Also,
what happens if you remove it first and export the document twice?

Yes I do.  And by the way, the .tex file is rendered correctly in the
pdf/ folder.

I get the same error twice.

And just to make sure I was expressing myself clearly: this happens when
exporting a subtree only; there is no issue when exporting the full
document.  You (or anyone else) can't reproduce the problem?

Thanks!

I could reproduce the problem: I wasn't using default value for
`org-latex-pdf-process'.

The problem should be fixed in maint. Thank you for reporting it.
