I can't get Texidote working

[dedalozzo]

I am trying to use Texidote with PhpStorm and the TeXiFy plugin. I copied the jar file under /opt/local/lib, and then I added under "Languages & Frameworks | TeXiFy | "Texidote command line options" the following command:

java -jar /opt/local/lib/texidote.jar

But it didn't work.

I also tried to create a shell script that I put under /usr/local/bin, and I changed the configuration as:

texidote.sh

But I can't make it work.

If I run Texidote from the command line it works:

java -jar /opt/local/lib/texidote.jar

But I can't make it work inside PhpStorm. I think the configuration is the same for any IDE, like Pycharm or Intellij IDEA.

Any idea?

I think it's a bit weird to run the jar directly, we just run textidote main.tex like any sensible program. I don't know if java -jar textidote.jar will work if textidote.jar is in your PATH? If yes we could automatically try it if the normal approach fails. If not, I can change the TeXiFy setting to modify the full command instead of just the extra parameters, so that it just runs whatever you want as long as the output is in textidote format.

I had to check the brew's formula.

You need to add a texidote shell script under /usr/local/bin and make it executable. That what Homebrew does. And set the command line options on TeXiFy as follows:

--check en --output singleline --no-color --read-all

The option --read-all is necessary if your project includes more than one file, using \include.

This is the shell script:

#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar /opt/local/lib/textidote.jar "$@"
