Re: [Vim-latex-devel] compiling multiple times - how to debug

[Filip K. <ka...@fz...>]

Hi, Mirko,

  thank you for your reply. Having explored the two hints you suggested,
first I think you are right that the synctex option should only be
preceded by a single dash; that is in agreement with the man page. I do
not know exactly why the double dash was there; someone has advised me
this line a long time ago, but I cannot exclude I later accidentally added
a second dash without noticing. So I have fixed this in my .vimrc file.

As for the debugging procedure, I have done as you advised, and the result
is the following:

comp : +Tex_RunLaTeX, b:fragmentFile = 0
comp : Tex_RunLaTeX: compiling to target [pdf]
comp : Tex_RunLaTeX: getting dependency chain = [pdf]
comp : +Tex_SetTeXCompilerTarget: setting target to [pdf] for Compiler
comp : Tex_RunLaTeX: setting target to pdf
comp : Tex_RunLaTeX: compiling file multiple times via Tex_CompileMultipleTimes
comp : Tex_CompileMultipleTimes: latex run number : 1
comp : Tex_CompileLatex: getting mainfname = [NbN-ver1.tex] from Tex_GetMainFileName
comp : Tex_CompileLatex: execing [make! NbN-ver1.tex]
comp : Tex_CompileMultipleTimes: errors = []
comp : Tex_CompileMultipleTimes: Ran latex 1 time(s)
comp : Tex_RunLaTeX: errlist = [
  1:  ]
comp : Tex_SetupErrorWindow: mfnlog = NbN-ver1.log
comp : -Tex_RunLaTeX

I was not able to find any suspicious message there. The .bbl file is
still not updated when I recompile the main file after a change in the
order of references. It seems the Tex_CompileMultipleTimes procedure does
not notice there was a change in the .aux file.

  Otherwise, there is a workaround I found in some discussion list, which
consists in running
:!latexmk -pdf %

on the command line. This will update also the bibliography as one would 
wish, but, unfortunately, the produced pdf file then does not support the 
inverse search feature. At least it kind of proves BibTeX is functional. 
By the way, also my forward search has problems, which is quite an old 
issue but off-topic here.

  Thank you for your effort,

  Filip
