Regression? finding project root about texlab HOT 10 CLOSED

@martinra Do you have a ~/.latexmkrc file? If so, then #1062 should fix the issue.

from texlab.

I do. I also pulled #1062 and the project root is now detected correctly. Thanks a lot the quick solution!

from texlab.

Is this truly fixed @pfoerster? I still have the exact same issue under both v5.14.1 (from nixpkgs-unstable) and v5.15.0 (from Homebrew). I used the minimal example mentioned by @martinra to test it. As long as my ~/.latexmkrc is present, the project root is not recognized.

More exactly:

• with ~/.latexmkrc:
  • if I have ~/tmp/.latexmkrc, the project root is correctly identified as ~/tmp/
  • if I have ~/tmp/latexmkrc (without the dot), the project root is incorrectly identified as ~/
  • similarly, I get the incorrect project root with any of the following files: ~/tmp/texlabroot, ~/tmp/.texlabroot, and ~/tmp/.git
• without ~/.latexmkrc:
  • the project root is correctly identified if there is either ~/tmp/.git or ~/tmp/.latexmkrc
  • in all other cases (no special files, ~/tmp/texlabroot, ~/tmp/.texlabroot, ~/tmp/latexmkrc) the project root is seemingly not set at all (the log of texlab reports it as null)

@pitkling How are you checking the project root? Compiling the project, looking at the dependency graph or something else? How does the wrong project root show itself?

from texlab.

@pfoerster I used :LspInfo of neovim/nvim-lspconfig and also double checked via the log file created bis texlab --log-file <file>. Is this reproducible on your end or is it specific to my setup? Let me know if I can provide any further info to debug this.

Is this reproducible on your end or is it specific to my setup?

With VSCode, I am not able to reproduce it. Is the working directory of the editor (and thus the server) set to ~ or ~/tmp. If it is ~, then #1098 should have fixed this issue.

from texlab.

The working directory of Neovim seems not to matter. I tested it by starting Neovim from ~/, from ~/tmp/, and from a different subdirectory of ~/. Neovim's :LspInfo still reports ~/ as the root directory if ~/tmp/.latexmkrc is not present. Again, other indicator files (~/tmp/{texlabroot,.texlabroot,.git}) do not help either.

I also made sure to disable any other unrelated Neovim configuration/plugins and only load texlab via Neovim/nvim-lspconfig.

from texlab.

@pfoerster In case it helps, here is texlab's log file (maximum verbosity) when opening ~/tmp/main.tex in a minimal Neovim configuration. I had the following project root indicator files present: ~/tmp/{texlabroot,.texlabroot,.git,latexmkrc}. As the log file indicates, texlab sets ~/ as the project root.

This is an nvim-lspconfig issue (root directory detection is part of the client configuration shipped by this plugin); please open the issue there.

from texlab.

Ok, thanks for the pointer, I thought nvim-lspconfig takes the root directly from texlab.

P.S.: Feel free to close the issue again, and sorry for the noise. Also, in case someone finds this: The problem has been fixed a few months back in nvim-lspconfig.
