Acceptance tests fail

[das7pad]

The acceptance tests include the compilation of a set of example pdfs. The used texlive image is not public, it's name hints to texlive 2017.

Some of the examples require additional software, e.g. gnuplot, which in turn requires additional probably insecure white listing in the texmf config [1].

After hours of trying to get the examples to compile successfully, I tried the hosted version of sharelatex.
And it turns out that many of the examples do not succeed over there as well.

OSS: texlive 2017 + ghostscript, ci tests of clsi
Hosted: overleaf.com, manual submission via web interface, visual comparison

NOTES:

• the visual comparison is probably not as accurate as the ci test.
• replicating the manual tests via the web interface will take an hour+.

• clone the project to be able to make the following changes per example:
  • adjust the main tex file
  • adjust the compiler to the one listed in the options.json file of the example

[3] It is not possible to compile a directory via the web interface. The subdirectory example has it's main tex file in a subdirectory, while the main file tries to include from the root project directory. This is probably the reason for the failed compilation via the web interface. A dedicated project does not help either [4].
