[Tex/LaTex] Emergency Stop. (job aborted, file error in nonstop mode)

errors

I'm trying to do my paper here in latex, without fully understanding it.
I stumbled upon a problem in which is solvable if I clear the cache. But every time I Recompile it, the error comes up again.

The paper has grown into quite a long one now, and I don't know what is the cause.

Here is what the red area has shown me: 

  Emergency stop.
<*> main.tex

*** (job aborted, file error in nonstop mode)


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
 5 strings out of 492990

Can someone direct me what is the keyword should I search for to solve this?

Best Answer

I assume that you (a) do not have a file main.tex and (b) you called latex in batchmode so that no missing error file is given on the terminal.

If I do

 pdflatex -interaction=batchmode main.tex

Then the terminal just shows

$ pdflatex -interaction=batchmode main.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

But the log appears in TeX's default log file of texput.log and shows
