Latex-workshop: "Problems" window mapping issues to wrong source file for multi-file documents

Created on 18 Feb 2018  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop

Description

I'm using a multi-file template (Masters/Doctoral Thesis from http://www.LaTeXTemplates.com) and compiling using pdftex+bibtex+pdftex+pdftex. Everything is working great, apart from the fact that the problems window maps any issue to the first chapter file that has any warnings, even if the actual warning relates to a different file.

How to reproduce

  1. Create a multi-file document with 3 chapters.
  2. Add to chapter1.tex and chapter3.tex some text that causes warnings.
  3. Compile
  4. Open the Problems window.

Expected behavior

Warnings displayed for Chapter1.tex and Chapter3.tex

Actual behavior

Warnings in Chapter3.tex displayed as if they were found in Chapter1.tex.

The actual warnings from Chapter1.tex are not displayed at all.

Here's one of the warnings that was actually in Chapter3.tex (same run as in the compile log further down):

file: 'file:///c%3A/Git/Priv/phd/template/Chapters/Chapter1.tex'
severity: ''
message: 'Overfull \hbox (2.589pt too wide) []\T1/ppl/m/n/10.95 W ra-mach prowad-zonych prac oraz w kon-tek�-cie wyko-rzysty-wanych tech-nologii 
'
at: '44,1'
source: 'LaTeX'
code: 'undefined'

Can you please provide a minimal working example? I cannot reproduce the problem, and the same issue should already been handled in previous commits.

I've uploaded an example to https://github.com/mdrozdo/latex_workshop_420. In this case it actually reports all overfull warnings as if they were in main.tex.

I'm running the 3.13.0 version.

Here's my toolchain config:

"latex-workshop.latex.toolchain": [
        {
            "command": "pdflatex",
            "args": [
                "-synctex=1",
                "-interaction=nonstopmode",
                "-file-line-error",
                "--shell-escape",
                "%DOC%"
            ]
        },
        {
            "command": "bibtex",
            "args": [
                "%DOCFILE%"
            ]
        },
        {
            "command": "pdflatex",
            "args": [
                "-synctex=1",
                "-interaction=nonstopmode",
                "-file-line-error",
                "--shell-escape",
                "%DOC%"
            ]
        },
        {
            "command": "pdflatex",
            "args": [
                "-synctex=1",

I have played a bit with your example. Here is an extract from the log output

(./chapters/myfile1.tex)
Overfull \hbox (6.98837pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--9
[][]\OT1/cmtt/m/n/10 chapter{} []\OT1/cmr/m/n/10 is level zero (0). A [][]\OT1/
cmtt/m/n/10 \section{} []\OT1/cmr/m/n/10 is level one (1) and so a [][]\OT1/cmt
t/m/n/10 \subsection{}

Note that the overfull warning appears after the closing bracket of (./chapters/myfile1.tex), which means that the scope of warning is the main file.

If you replace include by input in your main.tex, then the log looks like

(./chapters/myfile2.tex
Overfull \hbox (6.98837pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--2
