SyntaxError in pandocomatic.yaml?

[Paul Brandt]

Please review the following error, running the most default situation I can imagine:

Scrivomatic provides somewhat more debug info about the system:

---pandocomatic: /Users/paulbrandt/.rbenv/shims/pandocomatic | V: 
---paru library: V: 1.1.2
---rbenv versions:
  system
* 3.0.3 (set by RBENV_VERSION environment variable)
  3.2.2
---rbenv: /usr/local/bin/rbenv
---gem: /Users/paulbrandt/.rbenv/shims/gem
---xelatex: /Library/TeX/texbin/xelatex
---latexmk: /Library/TeX/texbin/latexmk

I'm probably overlooking something. Thanks in advance.

I cannot reproduce the scenario with ruby 3.2.2. Can you try your scenario with ruby 3.2.2?

The issue seems caused by a environment variable that isn't defined. The place where the syntax error is thrown tries to print an error message telling you which variable isn't set.

[Huub de Beer]

I see that this {key: path:} syntax is introduced in Ruby version 3.1. So that explains why this doesn't work. Note that Ruby 3.0 is EOL soon, in early 2024.

[Huub de Beer]

Anyway, till then I can revert this.

Fix available in pandocomatic version 1.1.2.
