I'm not able to use Gadfly + Weave

New to Julia

I have a very simple .jmd file

\```julia
using Gadfly
x = range(0, step=0.1, stop=2*pi)
println(x)
Gadfly.plot(x = x, y = sin.(x))
\```

(I had to escape the backticks when composing this message). When calling weave on the .jmd file, I get an error (see below). If I replace “Gadfly” with “Plots”, it works. If I run the code snippet in REPL, it works with both Plots and Gadfly. So why does it fail when using Gadfly in Weave?

Julia code invoking weave:
weave("path/to/file.jmd", out_path=save_path, doctype = "md2html", mod=mymodule)

Error:

what is weave?

Also having issue with Weave+Gadfly. BTW, I’m doing md2pdf as output format. Searched Internet and found below. Are they related?

For unknown reason, the file “D:\mypath\reports\20201005__20_56_56_605\jl_ngvppF/report_2_1.png” (yours) is non-existent - that is what happened in my case.

Seems a PR has been filed → https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/403

Weave is attempting to load a PNG. I think you need to add using Cairo, Fontconfig for the presumed PNG to generate.

Yes, this works! My working code is below.

using Gadfly
using Cairo
using Fontconfig
#x = linspace(0, 2*pi)
x = range(0,stop=2*pi,length=10)
println(x)
plot(x = x, y = sin.(x))
