latexmk 4.84 fails with `-outdir`

incubus-ank commented 3 months ago

Pre-checks*

[x] The issue has not been reported in this repository.
[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*

Operating System: Windows 11
Visual Studio Code Version: 1.87.2
LaTeX Workshop Version: 9.19.1
TeX Distribution Version: TeX Live 2024

The Issue*

An error appears when building a tex document project. The compiler used is latexmk. In the terminal, compilation occurs successfully.

Reproduction Steps

Sorry, but I don't know how to reproduce the error on another machine. I just installed the basic version of tex live and latexmk. And I tried to compile the document. An error occurs during compilation. However, the PDF is created correctly. Given the auto assembly, the error appears every time you edit. The most interesting thing is that compilation in the terminal is successful and without errors.

Expected Behavior

I expect to see a compiled document with no error messages.

James-Yu commented 3 months ago

Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, your issue is not related to the extension. You may want to search for the error message by latexmk on Google or other places for resolution.

James-Yu commented 3 months ago

Also, generally latexmk does not require the source file extension to present. I’m not sure if you were copying config values from random online posts. For your usage, the default config should work perfectly.

AlexaraWu commented 3 months ago

This issue caused by the new behavior of option -outdir introduced in latexmk version 4.84.

If you want output directory to be same as the root file directory, just remove -outdir=%OUTDIR% option in default recipe configs.

James-Yu commented 3 months ago

I don't see any changes to -outdir in latexmk v. 4.84.

From v. 4.83 to 4.84
  Update example_rcfiles/bib2gls_latexmkrc to deal with situation where
    .glstex file has basename of .bib file rather than that of main .tex
   file.
  Update example_rcfiles/asymptote_latexmkrc.
  Update example_rcfiles/splitindex_latexmkrc.
  Add example_rcfiles/memoize_latexmkrc.
  Improve detection of need to run makeindex (solves non-detection when
    imakeidx package is used with splitindex option).
  Implement final-output directory, with option -out2dir, variables
    $out2_dir, @out2_exts.
  Document hook mechanism.
  Document $allow_subdir_creation variable.

Thanks for the help. Of course, I looked for mentions of this error on the Internet, but I didn’t find anything similar. I assumed that the error occurs due to inappropriate settings, for example the need to use a backslash. I experimented with the settings, but this did not lead to a solution to the problem. I removed the extension. I cleared the settings and installed again, the error repeated.

However, the solution that helped was removing the outdir parameter. I am attaching a working config of the tool latexmk for me.

"latex-workshop.latex.tools": [

        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "command": "latexmk",
            "args": [
                "-synctex=1",
                "-interaction=nonstopmode",
                "-file-line-error",
                "-pdf",
                "%DOC%"
            ],
            "env": {}
        },

jlelong commented 3 months ago

I do confirm an issue with latexmk 4.84 when using the -outdir option. Running latemk -outdir=/tmp/poo myfile.tex fails with the error

'/tmp/poo/myfile.pdf' and '/tmp/poo/myfile.pdf' are identical (not copied) at /Library/TeX/texbin/latexmk line 5562.
  That failed, with message 'No such file or directory'

It seems to be a bug of latexmk. I have just sent a message to John Collins who is the current maintainer of latexmk.

James-Yu commented 3 months ago

The -outdir arg was added in #1079 . It seems that the arg can be safely remove for now?

jlelong commented 3 months ago

Here's the reply of John Collins

The problem is associated with a new feature of v. 4.84 where there's a new kind of output directory, the final-output directory (e.g., set by the option -out2dir). The bug you encountered was triggered by the use of an absolute instead of a relative pathname poo for the output directory.

I'll get a fix out as soon as I can, and meanwhile, I'm reverting the version on CTAN to 4.83.

I hope few users have installed this buggy version.
