Bug ID: 377789
Summary: Log parser confused by empty parentheses pairs in
.log, causing all messages to be misattributed
Product: kile
Version: 2.1.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: user interface
Assignee: michel.lud...@kdemail.net
Reporter: ree...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Kile's log parser appears to be vulnerable to the same bug as TeXStudio's. The
issue is diagnosed on TeX SE at
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/358990/all-warnings-and-errors-of-my-document-refer-to-forest-sty/359152#359152.
Like TeXStudio, if the log contains an empty parentheses pair (i.e. '()'), of
the kind routinely output by xparse, all errors, warnings etc. will be
attributed to the package, class or file responsible.
For example, in the example posted initially on TeX SE, everything is
attributed to Forest. In the minimised version in the answer, everything is
attributed to the minimal package.
The following code can be used to demonstrate the bug.
\begin{filecontents}{demobug.sty}
\ProvidesPackage{demobug}
\typeout{()}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{demobug}
%\typeout{)}
\begin{document}
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
\sewt
\end{document}
The log parser attributes both the overfull box and the undefined control
sequence to demobug.sty, opening that package in the editor for inspection.
Uncommenting the following line
%\typeout{)}
is a workaround which enables at least some messages to be correctly
attributed. (I have tested only minimally, so I don't know how robust the
workaround is.)
TeXStudio has identified the bug in their parser and will include a fix in
2.12.4 (http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/359098/).
I don't know if the bug in Kile's parser is the same, but hope that it can be
fixed also.
