Minted working from terminal but not Texpad

Question

I'm using the minted package in latex on my mac (running lion). Now when I use the terminal to type

pdflatex -shell-escape My_Ruby_Notes.tex

it compiles fine and the resultant pdf looks perfect. When I try and typset the exact same document through Texpad (I assume any other IDE also) I just get a load of errors pertaining to the My_Ruby_Notes.out.pyg file. I have set up in preferences to use -shell-escape but this hasn't fixed it. Any ideas? My $PATH is shown below in case this sheds some light on things

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/Users/Philip/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@rails3tutorial2ndEd/bin:/Users/Philip/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/bin:/Users/Philip/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/Users/Philip/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin

All the errors are of the following form

Undefined control sequence. (...err}{\PYZbs{}}\PY{n}{relax}\PY{p}{\PYZpc{}}...)

Below is a minimal working file (working from terminal, not Texpad)

\documentclass[12pt, titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\newpage

\begin{minted}[mathescape,
               linenos,
               numbersep=5pt,
               gobble=2,
               frame=lines,
               framesep=2mm]{csharp}
  string title = "This is a Unicode π in the sky"
  /*
  Defined as $\pi=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{P_n}{d}$ where $P$ is the perimeter
  of an $n$-sided regular polygon circumscribing a
  circle of diameter $d$.
  */
  const double pi = 3.1415926535
\end{minted}

\end{document}

Using Emacs+AucTeX your last MWE works for me (on Mac OS X). But the unicode-"π" in the title makes trouble. Deleting it, or compiling with luaLaTeX works though. — Peter Breitfeld, Jul 14 '12 at 10:20
I tried deleting the unicode-"π" but it made no difference unfortunately. It must be an issue with Texpad. I contacted their support (who are great) so hopefully they can help. — Philip O'Brien, Jul 14 '12 at 16:03
Texpad developers here. Minted currently doesn't work with the hidden directory option in preferences. Works otherwise. We will submit a fix for this in due course. — jkcl, Sep 07 '12 at 10:03
@jkcl Welcome to TeX.sx! I've converted your answer to a comment, as that fits the style of the site better. — Joseph Wright, Sep 07 '12 at 10:05

In OS X, GUI applications don't get changes that are made to PATH (or any other environment variables like TEXINPUTS) in .profile or .bashrc. Thus you have to set them so they are available for GUI applications. See this answer for details.

I don't know if that's your problem since you don't specify what the error messages are, but it's quite possible.

Thanks for the help, I read through the link but can't seem to make sense of it. The errors I am receiving in Texpad are all of the form – Philip O'Brien Jul 13 '12 at 08:46
Undefined control sequence. (...err}{\PYZbs{}}\PY{n}{relax}\PY{p}{\PYZpc{}}...) so it does seem to be that the program is just not managing to 'use' python – Philip O'Brien Jul 13 '12 at 08:53
Okay, but maybe python can't run which then doesn't create an intermediate tex file where they are defined. I don't know how minted works, but a minimal non-working example and/or the full error log would be helpful. – Ivan Andrus Jul 13 '12 at 10:57

Are you using "-output-directory" to compile? There is an open issue that makes minted ignore this parameter and the produced error is the same you report.

My solution to this problem was the following:

Enable "Shell Escape"
Disable "Hide intermediate files"
Make a symbolic link to pygmentize from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/pygmentize to /usr/local/bin

For minted 1.7, in addition to enabling -shell-escape, disable the option to hide the intermediate files. (per Billy.)

In minted 2.0alpha3 there is an outputdir option. If you install it (or later), you can use: \usepackage[outputdir=.texpadtmp]{minted}, and still hide intermediate files.
