Preliminary questions [Required]
I'm having trouble building a project with the
latexmkrecipe in Windows regardingmakeindexand apparent security problems when running it from the extension. I have little to no experience in Windows, so there is a chance I'm missing something silly here, but I've tried to search for similar problems and debug for a couple of days with no success now.Disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, and check that you still see this issue. [Required]
You still see this issue?: Yes
Fresh VS Code install, only installed the LaTeX-Workshop extension
Make sure to visit the wiki FAQ before filling an issue.
You visited the wiki?: Yes
If your issue is with compiling a document (not having to do with finding the root file of a project), check first that you can compile manually.
You can compile a TeX document manually?: Yes
If I run the command equivalent to the standard recipe
latexmk -pdf -synctex=1 etcin PowerShell the build completes without any errors.Describe the bug [Required]
latexmkrecipe fails to build, log says: "makeindex.exe: file not writable for security reasons". I'm running Windows 10 and MikTex. Tried from a fresh Windows installation and got the exact same results.latexmkworks as expected when running from command line (PowerShell).Expected behavior
Using the
latexmkrecipe should successfully complete like when running from PowerShellLogs [Required]
Please paste the whole log messages here, not parts of ones. The log should start with
