:LLPStartPreview runs with no errors, fails to compile or open pdf viewer

[kappanose]

Expected behavior

Preview Starts

Actual behavior

Preview does not compile or open an editor (I ran the start preview command and checked manually)

Neovim v0.2.2 The plugin installs with no errors, and no errors appear after running :LLPStartPreview in neovim. I also manually compiled the tex file with pdflatex from the command line, which worked. This was working earlier today, and I don't recall changing anything. My vim init file contains:

syntax on

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

Plug 'artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2' Plug 'xuhdev/vim-latex-live-preview', {'for': 'tex'} Plug 'Shougo/deoplete.nvim', {'do': 'UpdateRemotePlugins'} Plug 'sbdchd/neoformat' Plug 'dylanaraps/wal.vim' " Plug 'lervag/vimtex', { 'for': 'tex'}

call plug#end()

colorscheme wal let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup=1 let g:deoplete#omni_patterns = {} let g:deoplete#omnipatterns.java = '[^. \t].\w' let g:deoplete#sources = {} let g:deoplete#sources. = [] let g:deoplete#file#enable_buffer_path = 1

autocmd Filetype tex let g:livepreview_engine='pdflatex'put of autocmd Filetype tex let g:livepreview_previewer='zathura' autocmd Filetype tex set syntax=context autocmd Filetype tex setl updatetime=1000

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Here is output of :echo b:livepreview_buf_data after attempting to open preview {'root_dir': '/home/kappanose/Documents/math/', 'py_exe': 'python3', 'tmp_dir': '/tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-dxir9mhu', 'run_cm d': 'env TEXMFOUTPUT=/tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-dxir9mhu/home/kappanose/Documents/math/ TEXINPUTS=/tmp/vim-latex-live-preview- dxir9mhu/home/kappanose/Documents/math/:/home/kappanose/Documents/math/: pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=/tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-dxir9mhu/home/kappanose/Documents/math/promys /tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-dxir9mhu/home /kappanose/Documents/math/app', 'preview_running': 1, 'tmp_src_file': '/tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-dxir9mhu/home/kappanose/Doc uments/math/app'}

So 'preview_running': 1 suggests that the preview should have opened, yet it does not even compile.

Okay, so commenting out the

if v:version < 700
finish
endif

lines in .vim/plugged/vim-latex-live-preview/plugin/latexlivepreview.vim works. I think this is because I'm using neovim instead of vim. For now, I have this commented out, but would appreciate it if the developers added neovim version support (so when I update the plugin I don't have to manually comment out the lines every time). Preview works flawlessly now.

[xuhdev]

I just tested it on neovim. v:version on neovim seems to be larger than 700. Are you sure this is the reason that it did not work?

Hi, I am having the almost same Issue under exact same setup. Neovim v0.2.2 The plugin installs without any error. but when I run ":LLPStartPreview" --> "Failed to compile" appears. But I have comiled the same file in other ways, which compiles perfectly.

[g33kex]

Same issue here, I have the following file \empty Hello world!\bye Which compiles fine using pdftex, and with vim-latex-live-preview, ":LLPStartPreview" leads to "Failed to compile" with no further error.

I am having the same issue with macvim. the document compiles properly every other way except with :LLPStartPreview.

[byteofsoren]

I to have the same problem.

[redapemusic35]

I was able to fix mine. However I am not sure exactly how. I will try to figure it out and let you know.

[Migacz85]

Yesterday I had working it perfectly but today: ":LLPStartPreview" is producing exactly the same problem like in this therad :/ What the heck?

[ciolansteen]

Same behaviour. But only when the file is in the root of user's home directory or lower (/home/. or /home/user/.). Any higher levels work just fine. Anyway, LLPStartPreview creates the /tmp/vim-latex-live-preview-xxxxxxxx/whatever.pdf file but cannot open it.

Vim 8.1

@ciolansteen Check if you can manually compile latex to pdf without errors. I found that if there were errors while compiling - and this could be easyly resovled by passing few enters - this plugin had problems after to render pdf. And did not produce any information about that to the user.

[ciolansteen]

already checked and yes, i can. Another wierd thing would be, besides /home/. and /home/user/. there's also /home/user/.local and /home/user/.local/share, all other levels work fine as well as inside any other directory created in .local I manually compiled in all these locations and everything worked correctly.

[xuhdev]

Can any of you test whether removing line 19-21 in latexlivepreview.vim resolves the issue? The three lines read:

if v:version < 700
    finish
endif

[SevenTailCat]

hi~I have removed the three lines in latexlivepreview.vim, but it does not work. how can i do now? i am using macvim on my max os.

[xuhdev]

@SevenTailCat Are you on neovim?

[SevenTailCat]

No,I am on macvim which was installed by homebrew.

It looks like there are many different types of "not working" in this thread. I'll close this issue. Please open a new issue and state what kind of error you are encounting -- we'll start from there.

Did you resolve the issue?

You probably have done this, but just in case, make sure you actually have texlive installed: sudo apt install texlive-full
