I created a simple `hello.mklx` file and ran `context --synctex=-1 hello.mklx`. Then I launched Zathura with `zathura -x "nvr -cc \"call vimtex#view#reverse_goto(%{line}, '%{input}')\" --nostart" hello.pdf`. When I clicked "Hello, world!" while holding a control key it printed the following error to console: ``` (org.pwmt.zathura:80241): GLib-CRITICAL **: 15:49:12.359: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed warning: Failed to obtain data via SyncTeX or data is incomplete. ``` I am attaching the `hello.mklx`, `hello.pdf` files and the generated `hello.synctex` file. I am getting the same result with `--synctex=1`.

I am getting the same result with `--synctex=1`. you can play with mtxrun --script synctex and the synctex file to see if it makes sense one problem with synctex is that the editors depend on a library and there has been changes texshop now uses the more independent method for context i.e. just calling "mtxrun --script synctex ..." which not only removes the dependency of a library (the dependency on mtxrun is ok as one has context anyway) but also permits room for improvement (apart from not being tricked by latex specific heuristics in the library) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I can't say ... what is missing? Can you figure out what makes Zathura unhappy? The context synctex files are definitely less verbose because (1) we avoid clutter, (2) omit auto-generated content like pagenumbers and so, (3) collapse ranges (which we can do because we know what we're dealing with), (4) don't compress (because it makes no sense), (5) ignore styles, (6) also handle xml, etc. There have been some changes between synctex 1 and 2 but I don['t keep track of that. Actually, if a 'call some command' approach would have been chosen we could have better readable files (in our case lua or so). > > one problem with synctex is that the editors depend on a library and > there has been changes > > > > texshop now uses the more independent method for context i.e. just > calling "mtxrun --script synctex ..." which not only removes the > dependency of a library (the dependency on mtxrun is ok as one has > context anyway) but also permits room for improvement (apart from not > being tricked by latex specific heuristics in the library) > > But that would need a change in Zathura wouldn't it? sure, so unlikely to happen soon (i have no influence on that) (but it would have been a better approach anyway, not being dependent on libraries that that depend on specific synctex versions in tex as well as heuristics; basically now one needs a version of the editor/viewer that matches a tex engine); one doesn't hard code a pdf viewer in an editor either (btw, the script approach permits two way sync, so in texshop one can go from pdf to source and source to pdf) here with \starttext Hello, world! \stoptext i get SyncTeX Version:1 Input:1:oeps.tex Output:pdf Magnification:1000 Unit:1 X Offset:0 Y Offset:0 Content: !103 {1 [0,0:0,0:0,0,0 v0,0:0,55380990:39158276,55380990,0 h1,6:4661756,9176901:4275840,655360,327680 ] !104 }1 !8 Postamble: Count:3 !22 Post scriptum: (also with context --synctex oeps) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Can you figure out what makes Zathura unhappy? I run gdb with breakpoint set on zathura/synctex.c:86 and while `synctex_get_input_line_column` returns true, `input_file` is `NULL` so the "else" branch is executed. That is all I managed to debug, I don't know how I could step into the SyncTeX function. > here with > > \starttext > Hello, world! > \stoptext > > i get > > SyncTeX Version:1 > Input:1:oeps.tex > Output:pdf > Magnification:1000 > Unit:1 > X Offset:0 > Y Offset:0 > Content: > !103 > {1 > [0,0:0,0:0,0,0 > v0,0:0,55380990:39158276,55380990,0 > h1,6:4661756,9176901:4275840,655360,327680 > ] > !104 > }1 > !8 > Postamble: > Count:3 > !22 > Post scriptum: > > (also with context --synctex oeps) For me it generated a slightly smaller file: > SyncTeX Version:1 > Input:1:/home/nawordar/projects/zathura/build/oeps.tex > Output:pdf > Magnification:1000 > Unit:1 > X Offset:0 > Y Offset:0 > Content: > !141 > {1 > [0,0:0,0:0,0,0 > v0,0:0,55380990:39158276,55380990,0 > ] > !61 > }1 > !7 > Postamble: > Count:2 > !22 > Post scriptum: Similarly to previous examples, `mtxrun --script synctex --list oeps.synctex` only showed me that much: ``` mtx-synctex | begin page: 1 mtx-synctex | end page: 1 ``` When I executed it on your SyncTeX file, it showed one line more: ``` mtx-synctex | begin page: 1 mtx-synctex | [ 71 135 136 149] : 6 : oeps.tex mtx-synctex | end page: 1 ``` Still, with both files Zathura gave me the same error :/. It is really weird though, that ConTeXt generated a different SyncTeX file for me for the same exact file and command. The versions of ConTeXt and SyncTeX: ``` $ synctex help This is SyncTeX command line utility, version 1.5 usage: synctex <subcommand> [options] [args] Synchronize TeXnology command-line client, version 1.21 $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.04 ``` > btw, the script approach permits two way sync, so in texshop one can go from pdf to source and source to pdf Could you send me the exact commands for that? I can't get any meaningful output from `mtxrun --script synctex` either. It always prints me just an empty line. All the options described in usage look like they are for going to source code.
