Tectonic compiler method doesn't parse errors properly

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Description

Using Tectonic 0.12.0, I noticed that an error appearing on CLI like this:

error: nanophotonics-hw2.tex:78: Missing $ inserted
error: halted on potentially-recoverable error as specified

Doesn't always appear on Vimtex' quickfix - I experience this with some files, an example file appears below.

Steps to reproduce

Open Vimtex' test/test-doc/test.tex and add a single $ that will produce an error:

diff --git i/test/test-doc/test.tex w/test/test-doc/test.tex
index d13fab9d..fee8bb51 100644
--- i/test/test-doc/test.tex
+++ w/test/test-doc/test.tex
@@ -6,6 +6,8 @@

 \begin{document}

+$
+
 Hello World!

 \end{document}

Try to compile the error after you let g:vimtex_compiler_method = 'tectonic'.

Expected behavior

Vimtex opens the quickfix and showing the error:

error: test.tex:10: Missing $ inserted

Actual behavior

Vimtex doesn't open up the quickfix, and it is empty. Where if you run manually tectonic test.tex you see:

Running TeX ...
error: test.tex:10: Missing $ inserted
error: halted on potentially-recoverable error as specified

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

No, tectonic.

Ah, interesting. With latexmk, we pass the -file-line-error argument to the latex compilers. This makes the log output much easier to parse and is a requirement for VimTeX to properly parse the output. tectonic does not have a similar option. I found an open issue on this: https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/issues/1007. I propose that you kindly ask there if this could be prioritised.

Notice, though, as a workaround, you could use another quickfix backend. E.g. add let g:vimtex_quickfix_method = 'pplatex'. pulp is also an option, but that project does not seem to be maintained. With pplatex, things should work well.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the link and for trying to explain, I'm still a bit confused though.

First of all, let g:vimtex_quickfix_method = 'pplatex' seems promising, but I think I am having trouble using it with tectonic. I have managed to see that pplatex --input test.log indeed produces:

** Warning: No file test.aux.

** Error  , Line 10: Missing $ inserted <inserted text>  $

Result: o) Errors: 1, Warnings: 1, BadBoxes: 0

But nothing happens when I compile it and the quickfix is empty, just as before.

Did I understand correctly that the problem is that tectonic doesn't pass -file-line-error to it's xelatex fork? Plus, how come pplatex is able to find the faulty line by reading test.log which wasn't produced with -file-line-error?

If you add it to your vimrc file and install pplatex on your system, it should just work. If it does not, then I would be happy to help. However, it is hard to help without some concrete information about what you are actually trying.

A simple thing to try:

Use the previously specified test.tex.
Create the file test.vim with contents as specified below.
Run nvim --clean -u test.vim test.tex.
Start compilation and see if the quickfix window is opened.

The test.vim file should look like this:

set nocompatible
set runtimepath^=~/.local/plugged/vimtex
set runtimepath+=~/.local/plugged/vimtex/after
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable

let g:vimtex_compiler_method = 'tectonic'
let g:vimtex_quickfix_method = 'pplatex'

Notice, though, that you need to use the correct path to VimTeX on the first lines.

Did I understand correctly that the problem is that tectonic doesn't pass -file-line-error to it's xelatex fork?

Yes, correct.

Plus, how come pplatex is able to find the faulty line by reading test.log which wasn't produced with -file-line-error?

Because pplatex is designed to parse test.log. The error is found in test.log, but it looks like this:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.7

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Yes, correct.

:+1::+1:.

A simple thing to try:

I tried something similar: I created a ~/desktop/init-tests/nvim directory with pack/testing/start/vimtex in it, and I set export $XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/desktop/init-tests, and the init.vim file you wrote, and again, the same behavior. I also tried exactly your init.vim and it didn't work either.

I have pplatex in my $PATH. Here's a screencast:

lervag commented 1 year ago

In the screencast, it looks like example.tex is empty when you open it (around 1 minute in).

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Empty example.tex? Doesn't look like that to me:

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Oh, it is due to asciinema's number of rows to display setting - I changed it back to the default and not it doesn't look empty.

lervag commented 1 year ago

A simple thing to try:

I tried something similar: …

It would be simpler and less work to just try what I explained. There is no reason to set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, as far as I can understand? Simply doing nvim --clean -u init.vim example.tex is enough, and you don't need to replicate s standard config folder.

I have pplatex in my $PATH. Here's a screencast:

As mention, it looks like the example.tex is empty when you open it at around 1 minutes into the screencast. That may be just an artifact of the recording, though.

Could you also show the output of \li after doing \ll with the minimal configuration? Also, please show the output of :scriptnames.

Some files appear in ~/.files/.config/nvim/pack/filetype/start/tex/autoload/vimtex because I actually symlinked the Vimtex clone into ~/desktop/init-tests/nvim/pack/testing/start/.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

I tried to use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of your setup to imitate exactly the loading order of my setup. It may have been tested somewhat messy in the asciinema recording, but the issue is still there - with or without $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

lervag commented 1 year ago

Good, things look more or less right, I can't immediately see why this fails. On my end, the same setup works.

So, let's dig deeper:

Which version of pplatex do you have?
After doing the earlier test where the quickfix window does not appear: what happens if you do \le?
Does pplatex work from inside neovim as expected? I.e., what happens if you do :term pplatex -i example.log?

lervag commented 1 year ago

Are you on the latest VimTeX version?

lervag commented 1 year ago

The next level of debugging here will be to ask you to do some print debugging. Specifically, it would be interesting to see the output of adding unsilent echom "debug" a:status above this line:

https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/18255a2370812696138cb415a5b02925d33ef569/autoload/vimtex/compiler.vim#L46

You will probably need to do :messages to see the message. The message should come after you do \ll to start compilation.

The next location to inspect is here:

https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/18255a2370812696138cb415a5b02925d33ef569/autoload/vimtex/compiler/_template.vim#L458

specifically, I'm curious about the output of vimtex#qf#inquire before line 458. The echom technique should work there as well.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

pplatex doesn't have officially stable releases yet, and apparently NixOS distributes a version from 2015! I updated it to the latest commit of pplatex from a 2023, April, and still, it doesn't work.

After adding both echom additions, I press \le and run :messages and see:

I'm using the latest Vimtex version as of today.

lervag commented 1 year ago

Pressing \le gives:
VimTeX: No errors!

Do I understand correctly that your example/test directory now looks essentially like this?

.
├─ test.vim
├─ test.tex
├─ …
└─ test.log

Here test.vim is essentially:

set nocompatible
set runtimepath^=~/.local/plugged/vimtex
set runtimepath+=~/.local/plugged/vimtex/after
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable

let g:vimtex_compiler_method = 'tectonic'
let g:vimtex_quickfix_method = 'pplatex'

test.tex contains:

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}

Hello World!

$

\end{document}

AND test.log looks like this:

**
(test.tex
LaTeX2e <2021-11-15> patch level 1
L3 programming layer <2022-02-24> (minimal.cls

… LOTS OF VARIOUS LINES

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.7 

No pages of output.

If you can confirm, then we know we are looking at a similar minimal example!

After adding both echom additions, I press \le and run :messages and see:
inquire 0
debug 2

This shows that, for some reason, the vimtex#qf#inquire believes there is no error. We can continue down this rabbit hole and it should explain what is happening. But it would be useful to first know we are actually seeing the same output in test.log.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

It's a similar setup. Only I named the TeX file example.tex, and I use init.vim instead of test.vim, and I put vimtex's clone in pack/testing/start/tex, so that I can test the whole setup with as much similarity as possible to the real ~/.config/nvim.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Could it be an issue with the errorformat? Now when example.pplatex is not deleted, when I execute manually:

:caddfile example.pplatex

I still see no errors... I think this is as far as I will go myself. I once in my life tried to create a simple errorformat configuration, and it turned out to be a nightmare!

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

I think there is no errorformat line with a , appearing after 2 spaces of lines starting with Error like in my pplatex output.

lervag commented 1 year ago

What's the content of the example.pplatex file?

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

Same as I showed in one of my previous comments:

** Warning: No file example.aux.

** Error  , Line 10: Missing $ inserted <inserted text>  $

Result: o) Errors: 1, Warnings: 1, BadBoxes: 0

shell returned 1

Press ENTER or type command to continue

lervag commented 1 year ago

Ah, now I see: on my end, the output of pplatex -i test.log is this:

** Warning in test.tex: No file test.aux.

** Error   in test.tex, Line 7: Missing $ inserted <inserted text>  $ 

Result: o) Errors: 1, Warnings: 1, BadBoxes: 0

Notice how there is "in test.tex" on my end, while it is lacking on your end. The errorformat assumes the in FILE, syntax.

lervag commented 1 year ago

I don't know why the pplatex output on your end does not contain the filenames (with "in FILE.tex"). But I pushed an update that partially fixes this for you. The errors are now not "complete", as they lack the filename, but you should get an indication that there is an error and on which line it is.

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

What version of pplatex exactly are you using? And do you simply get a different output when you run pplatex -i example.log? And did you generate that example.log with Tectonic? and if yes with what version of Tectonic?

doronbehar commented 1 year ago

BTW this is my example.log:

What version of pplatex exactly are you using?

RELEASE_NAME: RELEASE_VERSION
Copyright (C) 2003 Jeroen Wijnhout (wijnhout@science.uva.nl)

This is installed on Arch Linux with the AUR package that installs from the Git repo. Thus, it is the latest version, I think.

And do you simply get a different output when you run pplatex -i example.log?

Yes. But it is because we are using different minimal LaTeX files. I've now manually written what you showed in your earlier screencast (this content is really something you should provide as text, because it is much easier to work with). Now I can reproduce the issue locally as well.

and if yes with what version of Tectonic?

Version 0.12.0

lervag commented 1 year ago

I believe this must be a strange bug with pplatex, actually. But my latest update should at least help somewhat.

lervag commented 1 year ago

I don't have much experience with C++, but it seems pplatex is a small project. Perhaps it would not be too hard to work with the author to fix it there? You could open an issue at the repo: https://github.com/stefanhepp/pplatex/

Finally :sweat_smile:

Thanks a lot for you help! I will open an issue at pplatex.

Hehe, yeah, sometimes it takes a lot just to get on the same page. :)

Thanks a lot for you help! I will open an issue at pplatex.

Glad to help! Feel free to link the issues and let me know if there are any useful updates!
