build_dir not working - Githubissues

Description

I am not able to get build_dir to work. It used to work previously. Maybe there has been an update that is causing this issue.

latexmk version: 4.79 pdflaex version: pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023/Arch Linux)

set nocompatible
let &runtimepath  = '~/.vim/bundle/vimtex,' . &runtimepath
let &runtimepath .= ',~/.vim/bundle/vimtex/after'
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable
" Add relevant options and VimTeX configuration below.
"
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()

Plugin 'lervag/vimtex'
call vundle#end()            " required

" Enable syntax and plugins
syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on

let g:vimtex_view_method = 'zathura'
let g:vimtex_fold_enabled=1

let g:vimtex_compiler_latexmk = {'build_dir' : './build',}

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Minimal document.
\end{document}

Steps to reproduce

vim -u minimal.vim minimal.tex

Expected behavior

A build subdirectory should have been created with the build files in it.

Actual behavior

No build directory is created. The build files are placed in the same directory.

Do you use a latexmkrc file?
