Org beamer async export fails

Org beamer async export fails

[Jeremie Juste]

Hello,

I noticed that async export using org-beamer-export fails. For instance

<C-c C-e C-a l P> on test.org (see below)

yield

<<Unknown "nil" back-end: Aborting export>>



I'm using Org mode version 9.1.13

Best regards,
Jeremie

`org-export-async-init-file' may not (require 'ox-beamer).

Hello

Many thanks for the info.

I manage to set up the  org-export-async-init-file as follows

(require 'org) ;; loads from site lisp
(require 'ox)
(require 'cl)  ;; stupid bug in one of the org-packages? 
(setq org-export-async-debug t)
(require 'ox-beamer)

but when I try org-beamer-export-to-pdf with async.

I get the following results

1    beamer       0:08   /tmp/test.tex

So it export only to latex and don't compile tex file.

Best regards,
Jeremie

I'm not sure what you mean here, but this shouldn't be necessary in Org.

It may be a LaTeX error. Can you compile "test.tex" manually ?
