Errors Aren't Displayed In The Problem Pane Anymore?

[Astrantia]

Description

Compilation errors are no longer displayed in the problems pane view.

Log messages

I couldn't find log messages for this. How can I troubleshoot/debug it?

LaTeX Workshop Output

Developer Tools Console

How to reproduce

1. Open LaTeX Directory anywhere on Windows 10
2. Compile any latex file with errors
3. Notice that errors aren't shown in the problems view

Expected behavior

Errors should appear in problems as it used to earlier. I think it's quite some time this is broken now.

Actual behavior

Additional Information

I'm using Windows 10 and vscode insiders with the latest latex extension.

I wonder if the changes introduced in https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/issues/796 broke this for me.

[James-Yu]

Mine works well 10 seconds ago. May you please share your log messages and/or project?

[Astrantia]

@James-Yu I think this might be related with custom output dir again, let me test.

[Astrantia]

Yeah, no need to debug and troubleshoot further. @James-Yu It doesn't respect custom output dir. Just like with the PDF Viewer, try setting dir to ./dist in toolchain and in latex settings and you will see this happen

[Astrantia]

"latex-workshop.latex.outputDir": "./dist"
"latex-workshop.latex.tools": [
    {
      "name": "latexmk",
      "command": "latexmk",
      "args": ["-synctex=1", "-interaction=nonstopmode", "-file-line-error", "-pdf", "%DOC%", "-output-directory=dist"]
    }
]

[Astrantia]

@James-Yu Were you able to reproduce this?

[James-Yu]

I'm yet to find a time to sit down and turn to this project. Soon (TM).

[James-Yu]

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem given your settings above. I'm afraid a minimal working example is required for further debugging.

[jlelong]

Can you post the LaTeX compiler output from the output pane? This might be related to item 3 here.

[Astrantia]

The issue is only when I have custom output directory settings turned on. It works fine if the build path is just ./

[jlelong]

Your latexmk log is hard wrapped at 80 characters, which should not be. Can you just change the recipe to run pdflatex --max_print_line=10000 and compare the output (this time, lines should not broken) and the problems pane? Yet I don't understand why it works when the build path is ./.

[Astrantia]

@jlelong fixed my issue, also it is --max-print-line, not _. I don't understand why its different with build path ./ I'm okay with this hack, but do you plan to implement a more robust fix? @jlelong

[jlelong]

I would like to but the problem only occurs on Windows with some versions of Miktex and I am running OS X. So it is a bit tricky

@Astrantia, can you give the output of pdflatex --version? @James-Yu, same question

I am thinking about going from the environment variable approach to the --max-print-line option for recent versions of Miktex. Need help to figure out the version in which it was changed.

[Astrantia]

Thanks @jlelong Here's version

I have just made an attempt to fix. @Astrantia and @James-Yu can you pull the max-print-line branch and test it?

I have just fixed it. Hopefully! Can you give it a try?

@jlelong works for me now, thanks!

Adding --max-print-line as a fix for this is not really a fix. It is customary for log output files to only be 80 characters wide. I believe this issue is related to one I opened #866. I found the problem to be the regex parsing of the log file was too strict.

adding this option breaks any command that uses it and hard coding it in is not good practice. No other latex tool has to add this option for the problems to be found. I have found the fix for -max-print-lines for lualatex builds from #885 doesn't fully work. The fix only looks for the -lualatex, or similar command, but I can also use -pdflatex=lualatex to change how latexmk works, and so the --max-print-line option is still breaking commands.

I even found that most of the logs not showing up in the problems pane can be fixed by changing the regex for parsing the log.
