[Vim-latex-devel] jump to error problem

From: ahmet n. <ahm...@ya...> - 2007-08-25 18:43:19

I am an addicted user of vim-latex. I can't think any
other choice other than it. I have even tried
emacs+latex macros but I am not satisfied at all(due
to complex keybord keys to complete your job.) I am
much faster with vim-latex.

I wonder anyboyd has fixed "jump to error" problem in
multi-file projects. 

thanks,
Ahmet

I think I have experienced what you are talking about, but to be sure,
can you explain the problem in more detail?

As I suspected, the filename is not deduced correctly by latex-suite.
In the quickfix window you should see the line

  ivnote.tex|4 error| Undefined control sequence. \lpha  Consider the
equation ...

but your line is missing "ivnote.tex" at the beginning.

I tried your example on my machine, a linux box with vim7, and I have
no problem. But I do see this problem sometimes on other files
(especially when I am using certain packages). It seems that the
latex-suite procedures to detect the errors (including finding the
filenames and line numbers) from the latex output isn't satisfactory.

I took a look at the code, but was not able to find a way to quickly
fix it. The problem is that the latex compilation messages are not
consistent across all packages, so the currently defined procedure
doesn't always work. I have problems with the xypic package. If the
package is loaded and if there is an error in my file, then vim always
jumps to the some file that belongs to the xypic package (some .sty
file, I think).

I'm sending this reply to the list in case someone has any
suggestions. But the list seems to be very quite these days.

Take care,
Franco

Hi Franco,

Thanks for the quick reply.  Quickfix recognizes the errors and is able to detect the location of errors, it sounds odd that it cannot deduce the file name that is being compiled?

LaTeX-suite uses the errorformat variable to define how vim processes
the latex output. Although the command is set within the latexsuite
files, it is based on the example in the help files.

:help errorformat-LaTeX

Here is what happens. Vim scans the latex output looking for a
filename, then keeps scanning for errors within that filename. It
switches filenames when a new filename is found or when it finds
something that indicates it is no longer processing the current file.
For example, when vim encounters a line of the form

(filename.tex

it adds filename.tex to its stack of directories, and certain
conditions trigger vim to remove the last file from a stack of
directories. For example, whenever a line with a solitary ) is
processed.

In the following excerpt from a logfile sent to me by Jushan offlist,
ivnote.tex is added to the directory stack on line 1 and it is removed
on the last line. But it should not be.

(ivnote.tex
LaTeX2e <2005/12/01>
Babel <v3.8g> and hyph ...
rman, ngerman, french, loaded.
("F:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\latex\base\article.cls"
Document Class: article 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX document class
("F:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\latex\base\size12.clo"
File: size12.clo 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX file (size option)
)

>From what I can tell, it's not easy to detect when I file is no longer
being processed, so there are errors in constructing the appropriate
directory stack.

One way to fix this would be to fix latex so that its output is
standardized. Maybe a script to post-process the logfile into
something that vim's errorformat can deal with.

Any suggestions?

[Vim-latex-devel] Multiple file latex projects

From: ahmet n. <ahm...@ya...> - 2007-08-29 13:36:13

I recently have a problem with multiple file latex
projects. It was not happening before and has appeared
suddenly. My directory layout such as the following:
------------------------------------
thesis/
    main.tex
    main.tex.mainlatex
    intro/
        intro.tex
---------------------------------
and my main.tex look like:

documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
\input{intro/intro.tex}
\end{document}

When I go to the directory "intro"and I open
intro.tex.
My intro.tex file looks like:
-------------------->
\chapter{try}
this a try
----------------------<

When I compile it(\ll), I get some errors  as the
following:
----------------------------->
Error detected while processing function
Tex_RunLaTeX..Tex_SetupErrorWindow..Tex
_GotoErrorLocation:
line    5:
E42: No Errors
------------------------------<
I am using recent version TexLive and vim7.1.56 in
Debian/testing.

Any idea?

thanks,
Ahmet
