Pre-checks*

Please change the following [ ] to [x] for confirmation.

  • [x] The issue remains after disabling all other extensions and restarting Visual Studio Code.
  • [x] The FAQ cannot address the issue.
  • [x] The issue is not related to compiling a document, or the document can be successfully compiled in the OS terminal but not in Visual Studio Code with this extension.

Environment*

Please write exact version numbers instead of descriptors such as latest.

  • Operating System: [e.g. Windows 10]
  • Visual Studio Code Version: [e.g. 1.41.0]
  • LaTeX Workshop Version: [e.g. 8.5.0]

The Issue*

Please briefly describe the issue you come across.

  • Changes in the bib file are not updated in the intellisense suggestions.
  • Another issue on this exists here, but I cannot reopen it
  • All suggested fixes are not available anymore. The FAQ section does not exist and the latex-workshop.latex.watch.usePolling does not exist anymore (at least not for me)

Here is the original problem description: Some tools (for example retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) that work with .bib files export them using create-and-move. That is, they first write to a temporary file and then swap the old file for the temporary file. This seems to confuse the file watcher in LaTeX workshop so that changes to this file are only detected once. This means that Intellisense suggestions for citations are not updated until vs code is restarted.

Reproduction Steps

Please list out the steps to reproduce your bug. Include relevant environmental variables or any other configuration. Create an tex document with a bibliography. Change the bibliography several times using a tool that uses create-and-move for example using the Better BibLaTeX extension for Zotero above)

Expected Behavior

That updates in the bib file will also reflect in the intellisense suggestions
