Does the tex root directive work?

ghost commented 7 years ago

Suppose two files file1.tex and file2.tex.

file1.tex contains a line \input{file2}

Building in the editor with focus on file1.tex works as expected.

file2.tex contains the line

%!TEX root = file1.tex

Building with focus on file2.tex breaks with "missing \begin{document}"

Is this expected behaviour?

No. Building when file2 is focused should build file1 as expected (even if file1 is not open). But those behaviors are not resolved live, you need to close and reopen the file for the directive to take effect. Otherwise I never had issues with it. On what platform are you?

AH! I didn't realize that a restart was required. Everything works great now;thank you!

I’m afraid I cannot do it myself.

Since the issue is fixed (or it wasn’t a bug), could it be closed?
