arXiv processing fails

[AmitMY]

Following from #113

My acl_latex.tex file has

\usepackage[frozencache,cachedir=minted-cache]{minted}

I then run the following script that should build my arxiv upload:

# Use finalizecache so that minted builds the cache
sed -i '' 's/\\usepackage\[frozencache,cachedir=minted-cache\]{minted}/\\usepackage[cachedir=minted-cache]{minted}/' acl_latex.tex

# Build with pdflatex in a container
PDFLATEX=(docker run --platform linux/amd64 --rm -i \
  --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" --net=none -v "$PWD":/data sotetsuk/pdflatex)

# Build the document
"${PDFLATEX[@]}" pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape acl_latex.tex
# Run bibtex to process bibliography
"${PDFLATEX[@]}" bibtex acl_latex
# Two more runs of pdflatex to resolve references
"${PDFLATEX[@]}" pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape acl_latex.tex
"${PDFLATEX[@]}" pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape acl_latex.tex

# Use frozencache so that arxiv doesn't try to rebuild the cache
sed -i '' 's/\\usepackage\[cachedir=minted-cache\]{minted}/\\usepackage[frozencache,cachedir=minted-cache]{minted}/' acl_latex.tex


# Create the arXiv bundle
rm -f arxiv.zip
zip -r arxiv.zip ./*
echo $(pwd)/arxiv.zip

But arXiv errors:

Errors for acl_latex.tex:

**Note: finalizecache is no longer supported, that's why I don't use it

Here's the resulting zipfile: arxiv.zip

I tried adding these to my .zip file:

for f in minted.sty minted1.sty minted2.sty; do
  wget -O "$f" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gpoore/minted/refs/heads/main/latex/minted/$f"
done

But the error is identical.

I tried adding my local files

for f in minted.sty minted1.sty; do
  docker run --platform linux/amd64 --rm -i --net=none sotetsuk/pdflatex \
    bash -lc "cat \$(kpsewhich $f)" > "$f"
done

And now got other errors

Following https://info.arxiv.org/help/submit_tex.html#minted-and-other-frozen-cache-packages

correctly will work (make sure all the files under _minted are uploaded and not deleted).

Having the same error even minted compiled locally with _minted folder. Have to swtich to texlive 2023 for submission unfortunately.

My workaround was to first download the minted.sty file (version < 3.0) locally from:

https://github.com/gpoore/minted/blob/v2.9/source/minted.sty

Then compile the pdf (requires -shell-escape) using:

\usepackage[finalizecache,cachedir=.]{minted}

Then switch to (does not require -shell-escape):

\usepackage[frozencache,cachedir=.]{minted}

@mdrolet01 i spent about four hours trying to figure this out; i even emailed support and they claimed that my minted cache wasn't present (it was). your solution worked and harmony has been restored; thanks kindly!

My guess is that the executable minted file does not exist on arxiv, and minted package somehow still rely on the executable even with finalized cache.
