Question 142548This solution looks extremely useful, however after compiling the given code, all I get is:

the following result in pdf .

My guess is that there is an update to do to some packages to get the correct pdf (the question is from 2013) but which one? There is no diagnostic of missing files or packages. Console output follows:

            This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019/Debian) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

    It would have been polite to link the question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/142548/tikz-complicated-flow-chart – Teepeemm May 27 '21 at 22:50
  • I'm not sure about TeXLive 2019, but with 2021, I get that the TikZ libraries positioning-plus and node-families are both missing. – Teepeemm May 27 '21 at 22:54
  • Me too, but you can find the solution on Texample (https://texample.net/tikz/examples/flowchart/), i.e. you can download the two packages and put them directly in the working directory. Now this is not enough... – c05772 May 27 '21 at 23:56

    So "There is no diagnostic of missing files or packages." is incorrect. But you're saying that if I were to download those files from the website, then I don't end up with any other errors? – Teepeemm May 28 '21 at 00:32
  • absolutely, you can add tikzlibrarypositioning-plus.code.tex and tikzlibrarynode-families.code,tex (downloaded from GitHub) in your working directory and then you get the log above, no diagnostic. I tried a minimum example with the same result, only the frames, no frontground text. – c05772 May 28 '21 at 16:11
  • This happened due to an update of TikZ and how the node-families library worked (by swapping out a big chunk of original TikZ code). I'd advise to use the ext.node-families library from my tikz-ext package which works quite different (and has different key, cf the manual or the linked question). – Qrrbrbirlbel Nov 19 '22 at 20:40
