Latex-workshop: Compilation broken by --tex-option in the README's texify toolchain

[zachjweiner]

Since 2.0.0, compilation is only successful with the texify toolchain if I delete the line "--tex-option=\"-interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error\"".

Not being very familiar with texify or this particular option, I can't tell if the issue is on my end - but this toolchain did work in the previous version.

The latexmk toolchain does work as expected.

I have a similar problem. when having a multi-tex setup, with all the % !TEX root commands setup up. It was working in the previous version but now it gives this log (Finds root file Paper.tex, but compiles main.tex)

@zachjweiner I personally do not use texify and doesn't have an installation. Can you please suggest a proper tool chain of it? If it won't work for any configuration, I will remove the section in readme.

@jose-a-sa Your log shows that it's a problem with your latex style file, not extension related.

[James-Yu]

@jose-a-sa got what you mean. Will look into it.

[zachjweiner]

@James-Yu I will look into it soon!

[James-Yu]

@jose-a-sa I can confirm this bug. Patch on the way.

[zachjweiner]

@James-Yu I found that breaking up the two options passed to --tex-option works, as such:

~~
"latex-workshop.latex.toolchain": [
{
"command": "texify",
"args": [
"--synctex",
"--tex-option=\"-interaction=nonstopmode\"",
"--tex-option=\"-file-line-error\"",
"--pdf",
"%DOC%.tex"
]
}
]
~~

[James-Yu]

Thanks a lot! Will change the readme accordingly.

[zachjweiner]

I'll also note that I'm seeing a lot more warnings (but no errors) using texify vs. latexmk, which I don't believe was the case before. I do not know if this is a function of the --tex-option stuff or texifyitself. Sticking with latexmk for the time being
