Cannot insert .eps figure into LuaLaTeX compilation

Question

I'm trying to insert a .eps figure into my document. I'm using LuaLaTeX. I have already tried to remove the ".eps" extension from the \includegraphics{} command, but it didn't work. Makes no difference (do not compile) It always says the error:

Unknown graphics extension: .eps

I also tried the package epstopdf, but that didn't work either. It shows the error:

Package pdftex.def error: File 'fig/VocSOCGeneric-eps-converted-to-.pdf not f [I think it is "not found"].

In the path "fig/" no pdf is created (and no pdf is created in the project directory also). I also tried to insert the -shell-escape and --enable-write18 commands, but unsuccessfully.

It seems that all alternatives from converting eps to pdf are only suitable for pdfLaTeX, and not for LuaLaTex. Also, there is almost no documentation about eps figures AND LuaLaTeX, leading me to think that LuaLaTeX should deal naturally with eps graphics. But I don't know how!

Code example below.

\documentclass[addressstd,a4paper,10pt]{report}

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\RequirePackage[2015/01/01]{latexrelease}

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}

\RequirePackage{tabularx}
\RequirePackage{url}

\RequirePackage{amsmath}
\RequirePackage{unicode-math}

\RequirePackage{luatextra}
\RequirePackage{fontspec}
\RequirePackage{lmodern}

\RequirePackage{graphicx}
\RequirePackage{caption}
\RequirePackage{chngcntr}

%\RequirePackage{epstopdf}

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figura}

\captionsetup[figure]{labelsep=endash,         justification=justified,singlelinecheck=false,format=hang}

\begin{document}

    Text before

    \begin{figure}[h!]
    \centering
    \caption{Curva Característica Voc SOC de uma bateria Li-ion NCA.}
    \includegraphics[scale=1]{fig/VocSOCGeneric.eps}
    \label{fig:cap1VocSOC}
    \end{figure}

    Text after

\end{document}

Remove the .eps extension in your \includegraphics lines — Joseph Wright, Dec 30 '15 at 20:53
epstopdf works fine with lualatex, but if you have miktex you must call lualatex with --shell-escape as shell-restricted is not activated see https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2415/ — Ulrike Fischer, Dec 30 '15 at 21:02
@JosephWright I have already tried removing .eps extension from the comand \includegraphics. Doesn't work — Chrystian, Dec 30 '15 at 21:44
@UlrikeFischer I tried the --shell-escape option before, but it didn't work. But now that you told about that, I looked again in some foruns and realized that the problem was the position of the command --shell-escape in the line. I will publish in the answer. — Chrystian, Dec 30 '15 at 21:48
I tested it, epstopdf works. But in my case the graphic was in the same directory as the tex file. — Ulrike Fischer, Dec 30 '15 at 21:51
Thank you for posting a working example! At the same time, much of your code does not seem to be relevant to the question you're asking here. Please limit the example to only the code required for your issue to appear. You can have a look at this guide for how to prune your code for this purpose. — Martin Schröder, Jan 03 '16 at 16:28

I made it work. And the answer is simple. As --shell-escape is an option, it should be placed before the .tex (%wm). My problem was that I was placing it after the .tex. These examples can explain better:

This one worked:

-synctex=-1 -max-print-line=120 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape "%wm"

This one was not working before:

-synctex=-1 -max-print-line=120 -interaction=nonstopmode "%wm" --shell-escape

Thanks to UlrikeFischer, I had this idea after your comment.

Please clean up your answer to make it readable. A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces or [enclose words in backticks ```](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863)! – Dec 30 '15 at 22:15
In your solution, do you need the Package "epstopdf"? – Ernesto Iglesias Oct 31 '20 at 01:55
