Error for Theme for book

[samyarmodabber]

Hello friends,
I use CLI and create a book. But when I want to see a preview it gives me an error:

$ quarto preview
Preparing to preview
[1/4] index.qmd
ERROR: Theme file compilation failed:

Could you help me?
thanks

This is a likely an issue related to SCSS themes - if you can share the source code, it will help a lot.

Yes - I feel like it may be related to the cause of the error. In my simple windows tests, when I introduce a syntax error, etc... we are still printing a complete error message. I'm guessing that somehow dart itself is not returning a complete error message...

Ok. We probably need more information from what triggers the issue @samyarmodabber. Thanks

Also @samyarmodabber just to understand correctly: You get the issue also when just running quarto check ?

yes, I get the same error:
ERROR: Theme file compilation failed:

[samyarmodabber]

I wonder if the special char in username (a space) can be the culprit here. Often, such space or other character can cause issue, especially if somewhere we are not quoting correctly 🤔

Yes. It is my problem. I made a new account without space and it works.

But after that, I try to change my username from "Sam Modabber" to "SamModabber" and after changing again not work.

I think I have to keep the new windows account and run QUARTO from that.

Thank you for your help

Yes. It is my problem. I made a new account without space and it works.

Ok thanks for confirmation

I think I have to keep the new windows account and run QUARTO from that.

Seems like a good workaround for you, but probably not that convenient. We'll try to go to the bottom of this if we manage to reproduce.
