Glossary does not print (with having multiple files) (Overleaf)

Post by hindkhan_1998 »

Following the basic example provided by latex: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/glossaries, I was able to successfuly build a glossary that prints.

However, my issue is that the glossary doesn't print out when I have multiple files. I will demonstrate this below:

General structure:

Thesis.tex (Compiled file):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
        name=latex,
        description={Is a mark up language specially suited for 
scientific documents}
}

\newglossaryentry{maths}
{
        name=mathematics,
        description={Mathematics is what mathematicians do}
}

\newglossaryentry{formula}
{
        name=formula,
        description={A mathematical expression}
}

\newacronym{gcd}{GCD}{Greatest Common Divisor}

\newacronym{lcm}{LCM}{Least Common Multiple}

\begin{document}
\clearpage

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]

\printglossary

\input{Chapters/Introduction}
\end{document}
Introduction.tex

Code: Select all

\chapter{Introduction}
The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language is specially suitable 
for documents that include \gls{maths}. \Glspl{formula} are 
rendered properly an easily once one gets used to the commands.

Given a set of numbers, there are elementary methods to compute 
its \acrlong{gcd}, which is abbreviated \acrshort{gcd}. This 
process is similar to that used for the \acrfull{lcm}.
The introduction does print; however, the list of acronyms don't print. It is instead an empty page. Thank you all!

I can't tell you why right now, but the list of acronyms is printed out when you replace the first \printglossary command with \printglossary[type=acronym] or \printacronyms.
