xsim: can't write on file (anymore)












0















Below is a minimalized template I have been using without any trouble for quite some time. It no longer runs on my system. I do not know if it's a problem with the xsim package, with one of its dependencies or just some weird local issue that should not be happening. I have updated my texlive installation. I'm on MacOS High Sierra. I am compiling with pdflatex Any ideas?



The error message I get:



I can't write on file `aux/xsim-stackoverflow-4-question-1-exercise-body.tex'. ...stion}[ID={Q001}, points={10}, tags={easy}]


I last successfully ran the code on 16 January 2019. I need a solution or workaround within a week (gasp!).
