Error building paper locally

[milancurcic]

I'm trying the template for the first time. I followed the instructions for manual build and got all the required tools. Here's my error message (running make on an unmodified template):

$ make
pandoc --resource-path=doc/resources --filter pandoc-include-code --template=template.tex -C --bibliography=bibliography.bib -o paper.pdf doc/paper/part-00.md doc/paper/references.md
pandoc-include-code: Error in $: Incompatible API versions: encoded with [1,22] but attempted to decode with [1,17,0,5].
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
  error, called at ./Text/Pandoc/JSON.hs:113:48 in pandoc-types-1.17.0.5-EZHALKSo3NEDnJzqSltHVK:Text.Pandoc.JSON
Error running filter pandoc-include-code:
Filter returned error status 1
make: *** [Makefile:45: paper.pdf] Error 83

It seems that the relevant error is the one coming from pandoc-include-code. However, I don't understand what it means. Here are my versions:

pandoc-2.13
pandoc-include-code-1.2.0.2
codespell-1.16.0

Just bumped into the same error on Ubuntu 18.04.

I downloaded the pandoc and pandoc-include-code tarballs from the respective release pages, and extracted them into ~/.local. The versions are:

I got the template working in my development environment (Arch Linux based), this are the version I used:

❯ pacman -Q pandoc pandoc-include-code codespell texlive-core make
pandoc 2.13-7
pandoc-include-code 1.5.0.0-3
codespell 1.17.1-2
texlive-core 2020.57066-2
make 4.3-3

Main difference seems to be a newer version of pandoc-include-code, maybe updating to a newer version could solve this issue.

[milancurcic]

Indeed, pandoc-include-code should probably be built from master, rather than downloaded from releases. The master is quite a bit ahead of the latest release CHANGELOG.md.

Indeed, the versions of pandoc and pandoc-include-code generally aren't new enough in most package managers, and they need to be compatible versions. Hopefully this will resolve itself before too long.
