Oh but by the way, \tracingifs was of no use. It didn't show me any information related to the file in which the bug was. Also its position was wrong.

Side note: When I tried to create an MWE with an actual unclosed \ifx I got prompted with error complaining about the missing \fi, but this is prompted as a warning. Why so?

Thanks for carefully checking the cross-site question and giving these additional tips. Actually I am sure the line will change, because I am not writing a single TeX file. I am developing a package. I load the package in a test file. If I change the place of loading the package, the line number will also change, but I thoroughly checked my package code. I haven't used any unclosed \if-type statement. It has to be from another package I load. Also, I am not using standalone. I am using article with pretty much standard packages.

@Niranjan Side note, depends on which package you're using it may be the package at fault (e.g. if I recalled correctly the standalone package that generates svg invokes latex recursively from the package by shell-escape, which generates the incomplete ifx)

| Dec 27, 2024 at 5:14 | comment | added | Niranjan | Thanks a lot for this answer, your tips are really helpful! I am currently struggling with a log of around 85k lines :'( I would love to see the code for the brute force method you mention. Can you explain how to do that? | |
