Complete bibliography completion not working anymore about vimtex HOT 7 CLOSED

Interesting. I'll look into this when I get some time. My first thought is that this is a deeper issue, and one that I might not be able to fix - it seems related to another issue I've seen with the completion system.

from vimtex.

Hi, I tested now. The first thing I notice is that your example uses the filecontents package and the \jobname macro. The latter, I think, is the main reason that this example will not work, since the completion system parses the \addbibliography commands to find which bib files are included. When I removed the filecontents package and changed to \addbibliography{test.bib}, it worked as expected.

Of course, I could implement functionality that expands the \jobname macro, but I don't see when this would really be necessary..?

Hey thanks for your engagement! I agree it would be absolute nonsense to provide for the needs of firecontents ! I only used it to provide a one-file MWE to make it easier to debug for you but never use it to actually work with it.

And indeet, if I change the \addbibresource parameter to a proper file name, completion works as expected, so it seems there is someting wrong with the preamble in the papers I've been writing recently. I think there's no other way than hunting that down before coming back and reporting what the issue was, so there currently doesn't seem to be a bug with vim-latex

Hah, spotted it. If set to use an absolute path (i.e. starting with root), completion doesn't work.

If, however set as a relative path such as \addbibresource{../mwe.bib}, it works. Is this intended?

I am not sure I understand what you mean. Could you please provide an example of how to reproduce the issue?

from vimtex.

Ok. For both examples you need the following mwe.bib in the same directory as the tex file.

@Book{jeuk10,
  Title                    = {Deutsch als Zweitsprache in der Schule: Grundlagen - Diagnose - Foerderung},
  Author                   = {Stefan Jeuk},
  Year                     = {2010},
  Location                 = {Stuttgart},
  Publisher                = {Kohlhammer}

Example 1) where it's not working: (before trying it, adjust /home/lervag/mwe.bib to represent the correc full path to the bib file):

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[bibencoding=utf8,backend=biber]{biblatex}
   \addbibresource{/home/lervag/mwe.bib}
\begin{document}
\autocite[1]{je
\end{document}

Example 2) working: Only difference: mwe.bib is referenced relatively instead of absolutely:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[bibencoding=utf8,backend=biber]{biblatex}
   \addbibresource{./mwe.bib}
\begin{document}
\autocite[1]{je
\end{document}

Right, I think I found the bug. Should be fixed now. Thanks again for reporting and thus helping to improve the plugin!
