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*

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

Operating System: Apple Sonoma 14.4.1

Visual Studio Code Version: 1.89.1

LaTeX Workshop Version: v9.20.1

TeX Distribution Version: TeX Live 2024

Please list the environment and version number if you are using VSCodium, Snap or Flatpack versions of Visual Studio Code, and/or Visual Studio Code Remote Containers/SSH/WSL.

N/A

The Issue*

Please briefly describe the issue you come across.

The reverse search function is no longer working. That is when command-clicking in the PDF window, VSCode is no longer able to find the location in the latex file. This used to be working in earlier versions, although I am not sure which update broke that functionality.

Reproduction Steps

Please list out the steps to reproduce your bug. Include relevant environmental variables or any other configuration.

command-click in the PDF

VSCode is not able to find the location in the latex source file

Expected Behavior

What were you expecting to see? Include any relevant examples or documentation links.

The cursor should move to the correct location in the latex file.

No relevant entries found.

Seems your synctex file does not have corresponding record.

Please provide a minimal working example with the corresponding synctex.gz file for debug.

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. It put me on the right track to find the problem. I was using synctex=2 instead of synctex=1. synctex=1 does work as expected.
