latexmk in version 4.84 does not work with the option -outdir / -output-directory. The maintainer of latexmk is informed.
If you run latexmk without this option, there are no problems. So some users maybe thing, that it is a bug in LaTeX-Workshop.
So I create this issue to inform the users of the plugin about the root of the problem.

Situation
latexmk in version
4.84does not work with the option-outdir/-output-directory. The maintainer of latexmk is informed. If you run latexmk without this option, there are no problems. So some users maybe thing, that it is a bug in LaTeX-Workshop. So I create this issue to inform the users of the plugin about the root of the problem.Workaround
The workaround is to avoid the problematic option. For LaTeX-Workshop you have to go to the latex-workshop.latex.tools in the settings.json. There remove the lines:
for all entries with the command latexmk or at least the entries you are using.
Updates
I will update this issue if I get feedback from the maintainer and when there is a bug fix available for latexmk.
