Without steps to reproduce, it's impossible to help.

What's your environment?

I use the brew tap zegervdv/zathura to install on the macbook.

Maybe try reading :help vimtex-faq-zathura-macos. there are a few other issues https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/1735 https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/2581 https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/2889 on GitHub concerning Mac users as well.

@lervag It may be a good idea to detect user running on Mac (https://vi.stackexchange.com/a/2577/26108 --- looks like need to run uname) and on zathura synctex failure automatically point the user to the FAQ entry.

@cklin731

You're original post contains:

VimTeX: Viewer cannot find Zathura window ID!

I have seen many article. No one said, how to fix this problem.

And where we asked for :VimtexInfo you did not provide the output of :VimtexInfo.

@user202729 asks for more info, to which you reply simply

I use the brew tap zegervdv/zathura to install on the macbook.

He also provides a reference to the faq section in the docs. This is, as far as I know, the best possible answer right now. If you need further help, then please provide a reproducible example and/or the details necessary to help you.

Well, yes, possibly. But that's more work than answering a post every once in a while 😅
