I am using a style which is based on memoir document class. In other documents with another document class (e.g. article) I've used the glossaries package in order to write out acronyms, using \newacronym and \acrlong{} etc. However, when I've tried to copy over the same glossary file to use in the document based on memoir the list of abbreviations won't write out. The Acronyms in the running text written with \acrshort{} will however print out without any errors. Is there a way to "force" print out the list of acronyms?

EDIT: MWE:

 \documentclass[a4wide,11pt]{memoir}
\usepackage[acronym,toc]{glossaries}
\usepackage{glossary-mcols}

\makeglossaries

\newacronym{li}{LI}{Lead Installer}
\newacronym{pm}{PM}{Project Manager}
\newacronym{nks}{NKS}{New Karolinska Solna}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\listoftables


\printglossary
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype, title=List of Abbreviations,style=index]
Above this text there should be a list of acronyms.


\section{First section}
The \acrfull{li} is responsible of notifying the \acrlong{pm} of any damages or missing equipment within two days of delivery. \acrshort{nks} for example.

\begin{table}[ht]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{c|c}
        a &b  \\
        c & d 
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Test table}
    \label{tab:my_label}
\end{table}

\end{document}

I also get the following warnings, which I believe might explain the problem at least partly: 

    (/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/glossaries/base/glossaries-compat
ible-307.sty
Package: glossaries-compatible-307 2015/11/30 v4.20 (NLCT)
)
\gls@level=\count170
\@gls@tmpb=\toks34
\gls@tmplen=\skip189

Package glossaries Warning: Overriding \printglossary on input line 5207.


Package glossaries Warning: Overriding `theglossary' environment on input line 
5848.

Running the code above yields the following result

  • Full minimal example please. Did you remember to load the glossaries package in your memoir document? memoir has some glossary capabilities, but not as extensive as the glossaries package, and the two are not 100% compatible. – daleif Dec 09 '16 at 09:10
  • Those two warnings are really just information messages to let you know that glossaries is overriding some other glossary provider (memoir in this case) and in this case are unlikely to point to the problem as glossaries usually works okay with memoir. (The warnings can be suppressed with the package option noredefwarn.) Are there any error messages in the makeindex/xindy transcript? Try this diagnostic tool which analyses the transcript for known problems. – Nicola Talbot Dec 09 '16 at 11:31
  • I have now added a MWE and picture of the output I get. @daleif – Sander Dec 09 '16 at 14:27

    When I compile your mwe (using TeXLive 2016) I get a 3 page doc, where the list of abbreviations is at the top of page 3. Note that several compilations were needed (I used latexmk -pdf to compile it) – daleif Dec 09 '16 at 14:33
  • @daleif I tried to run it on locally instead of ShareLatex and now it works - so it seems like the problem was on Share Latex rather than in my code. Weird that I got it to work in one document on ShareLatex and not the other though.... Thank you anyways - now I know it works! – Sander Dec 10 '16 at 10:33
  • Remember, sharelatex often use older code, thus newer features might not work. – daleif Dec 10 '16 at 11:21

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the issue seemed to be a temporary problem of the online compiler – cgnieder Apr 21 '17 at 09:30
