Suppress traceback chaining for tex subprocess failures.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 80d93a6289cc · 2022-05-12T10:48:46.000+02:00
For tex failures (e.g., `figtext(.5, .5, "\N{snowman}", usetex=True)`),
instead of
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../matplotlib/texmanager.py", line 253, in _run_checked_subprocess
    report = subprocess.check_output(
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 420, in check_output
    return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 524, in run
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['latex', '-interaction=nonstopmode', '--halt-on-error', '../71cab2b5aca12ed5cad4a481b3b00e42.tex']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    &lt;a long traceback&gt;
    raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string:
b'\\u2603'

Here is the full report generated by latex:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.23 (TeX Live 2021) (preloaded format=latex)
&lt;the tex output&gt;
```

instead report the failure in a single block, as
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
    &lt;a long traceback&gt;
    raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string:
b'\\u2603'

Here is the full command invocation and its output:

latex -interaction=nonstopmode --halt-on-error ../71cab2b5aca12ed5cad4a481b3b00e42.tex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.23 (TeX Live 2021) (preloaded format=latex)
&lt;the tex output&gt;
```
(the exception chaining is not particularly informative, and we can move
the only relevant info -- the command we tried to run -- to the second
exception).
