Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: spawn EACCES fs.js:1112

I am running pandoc v.2.0.5 (Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.3, texmath 0.10, skylighting 0.5) on Debian.

If I run

pandoc -t html -F mermaid-filter -o something.html test.md 

on the example file in the repository, I get

(node:19032) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: spawn EACCES fs.js:1112 return binding.unlink(pathModule._makeLong(path)); ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, unlink '/tmp/tmp-19025tExPUzZBsx4v.tmp.png' at Error (native) at Object.fs.unlinkSync (fs.js:1112:18) at mv (/usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/index.js:102:8) at mermaid (/usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/index.js:73:9) at /usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/node_modules/pandoc-filter/index.js:52:19 at Array.forEach (native) at walk (/usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/node_modules/pandoc-filter/index.js:50:7) at /usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/node_modules/pandoc-filter/index.js:74:16 at Array.forEach (native) at walk (/usr/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/node_modules/pandoc-filter/index.js:73:20) Error running filter mermaid-filter: Filter returned error status 1

Any idea where the trouble could come from?

Perhaps you could try the fix in the subsequent comment.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did edit the package.json file to add v0.13.0 of puppeteer as a dependency, i.e., the file now ends with:

    "pandoc-filter": "^0.1.3",
    "tmp": "0.0.28",
    "puppeteer": "0.13.0"                                                                                                                                                                     
  }                                                                                                                                                                                           
}  

I then ran (as root)

npm update --global

But that didn't changed the error message.

.....include v0.13.0 of puppeteer within the mermaid.cli....

I think you need to hand-edit the package.json for mermaid.cli

Unfortunately, this is an upstream issue and for whatever reason, they've closed the bug without fixing it.
