Docker XeLaTeX arara no error msg

Question

When I compile my LaTeX Document locally with arara it works! But when I put it into Docker (Fedora) I only get this Emergeny-stop:

This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999991 (TeX Live 2019) (preloaded format=xelatex 2020.10.21)  22 OCT 2020 00:31
entering extended mode
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 %&-line parsing enabled.
**thesis.tex

! Emergency stop.
<*> thesis.tex

End of file on the terminal!

I tried to install full TexLive, to get sure I've all packages installed, but it did not work. It looks like batch mode (no error msg) so I tried: % arara: xelatex: { interaction: errorstopmode }

% !TEX TS-program = arara
% arara: clean: {files: [thesis.pdfsync, thesis.bbl, thesis.aux, thesis.toc, thesis.pdf]}
% arara: xelatex: { interaction: errorstopmode }
% arara: nomencl
% arara: biber
% arara: biber
% arara: biber
% arara: xelatex: { interaction: errorstopmode }
% arara: xelatex: { interaction: errorstopmode }
% arara: clean: {files: [thesis.pdfsync, thesis.out, thesis.toc, thesis.lot, thesis.lof, thesis.bbl, thesis.nls, thesis.nlo, thesis.aux, thesis.idx, thesis.ilg, thesis.ind, thesis.bbl, thesis.bcf, thesis.ist, thesis.blg, thesis.run.xml, thesis.fdb_latexmk, thesis.fls]}

Answer 1

Most likely there are two things happening here: first, the thesis file is not being found. Then xelatex is being run in batch mode so that an attempt to read from the terminal is failing.

The tipoff to this is the fact that the log file is named texput.log and not thesis.log

Answer 2

Thanks TeXnician with arara -lv i was able to produce a log and error massages and solved the underlying problems, at the end there where a couple of missing packages and missing files in subfolders.
