CodeChat not functioning with Pretext project. "source newer than html" error

[milamgh]

For context, I encountered this issue with a Windows VS Code local setup. Newly installed CodeChat_server and CodeChat extension.

The issue is that CodeChat will display html build of pretext project after building with pretext-tools in VS Code, but it does not update as I edit the source file. Also, if I save the source file, CodeChat throws the following error below the html view window:

C:\FOO\codechat\Scripts\python.exe: No module named pretext c:\FOO\Documents\books\BC_Live\source\sec_constructing-demand.ptx:: ERROR: CodeChat renderer - source file newer than the HTML file c:\FOO\Documents\books\BC_Live\output\web\sec_constructing-demand.html.

It may be a problem with my specific setup on Windows but I followed the instructions on the readthedocs.io page . I am least certain about my path to the server setup in the extension, but it would seem CodeChat wouldn't be able to display if it couldn't find the server.

@milamgh, thanks for the report. It looks like CodeChat can't run PreTeXt on your PC. Are you Discord? If so, we can chat to resolve this.

Hi Bryan, Yes! I am ghmilam on Discord. I haven't engaged with the Pretext or Runestone community over there, however. best, Garrett
