Having trouble compiling scribble document with `#lang scribble/html`

Question

I'm trying to use Scribble (Racket v8.0 [cs]) to generate some HTML using #lang scribble/html and I've reduced my source file to only the lang statement (to isolate other issues):

#lang scribble/html

To run the code I'm using terminal:

% scribble test.scrbl

However, I'm running into the following error during compilation:

dynamic-require: name is not provided
  name: 'doc
  module: #<resolved-module-path:"/Users/josh/Desktop/blog architecture/00001 article name/test.scrbl">
  context...:
   .../private/map.rkt:40:19: loop
   .../racket/cmdline.rkt:191:51
   body of "/Applications/Racket v8.0/share/pkgs/scribble-lib/scribble/run.rkt"

Obviously something is missing - perhaps a require statement? I'm not sure. If you have a better approach to using #lang scribble/html I'm open to that as long as I can use the html tags.

Thank you!

Hello person from 6 months ago! I hope you have solved your problem, but for other travelers here's what worked for me:

Don't use the scribble binary, but directly use the racket executable.

So, instead of:

$ scribble test.scrbl

Do

$ racket test.scrbl

This seemed to work for me with scribble/text, and outputted exactly what I wanted (nothing weirdly processed, nothing "helpfully" escaped - just my text + my racket code executed)
