Hello,
I have been trying to get SyncTeX to work with ConTeXt and Zathura, but
nothing
seems to work.
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`.
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)
