I am writing my Master's thesis using a LaTex template provided by the university. For the most part, I write locally and sync changes with an Overleaf project in order to collaborate with my supervisors. After getting almost the whole paper written, I can't even compile a simple example because of an "Extra \endgroup." error. I have reproduced the error here. It is view-access-only, so if you want to debug, please, copy the project (remember to use XeLaTex compiler).

I also include the code here:

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,11pt]{report} %openright
\usepackage{microtype}      % better looking text
\usepackage{fontspec}       % Package for custom fonts
\usepackage[]{geometry}     % Package for changing page margins (before fancyhdr) 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}       % Package to change header and footer
\usepackage{parskip}        % Package to tweak paragraph skipping (instead of indents a small skip is added after every paragraph)
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{tikz}           % Package for drawing
\usepackage{pgfplots}       % Package for creating graphs and charts
\usepackage{xcolor}         % Package for defining DTU colours to be used
\usepackage{amsmath}        % For aligning equations among other
\usepackage{siunitx}        % SI units
\usepackage{listings}       % Package for inserting code, (before cleveref)
\PassOptionsToPackage{hyphens}{url} % Ability to line break urls at hyphens
\usepackage{hyperref}       % Package for cross referencing (also loads url package)
\usepackage{cleveref}       % improved cross referencing
\usepackage{textcomp}       % \textdegree = °C and other useful symbols
\usepackage[english]{babel} % localisation 
\usepackage{caption}        % better captions
\usepackage{subcaption}     % for subfigures
\usepackage{csquotes}       % For biblatex with babel
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,sorting=none]{biblatex} % Package for bibliography (citing)
\usepackage{tabularx}       % for ability to adjust column spacing in tabular better
\usepackage{booktabs}       % for better tables
\usepackage{float}          % floating figures in correct places
\usepackage{calc}           % Adds ability for latex to calculate (3pt+2pt) 
\usepackage[printwatermark=false]{xwatermark} % Package for wartermark. Toggle printwatermark true or false to include or remove the watermark
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

\end{document}

main.log from my local machine can be found here.

I have seen this question and the fix from the comments works for me, however, it introduces another error (see my question here).

What am I doing wrong?

  • don't use the xwatermark package. It is incompatible with a current latex. – Ulrike Fischer Jan 25 '22 at 11:38
  • Thanks, that was it! If you add this as an answer I will mark it as the solution. Could you point me to how can I check it myself without commenting out different parts of the code manually? – Mateusz Sadowski Jan 25 '22 at 12:00
  • "commenting out different parts" is what I use to debug such problems, only in this case I already knew the cause from earlier questions. – Ulrike Fischer Jan 25 '22 at 12:47
