Bug ID: 425182
Summary: Livepreview: continued compilation of prev
failed/aborted compilation can fail
Product: kile
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: michel.lud...@kdemail.net
Reporter: alb...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is about LivePreview.
When the compilation is in progress, as soon as I type anything into the
document, it aborts and kills the compilation.
When it continues the compilation at some point, because of previous aborts,
some aux files are broken, and then the PDF either fails to compile, or is
partly incorrect.
I guess the best way is to never continue a failed compilation, but to always
start afresh.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I think it is relevant to have a big Latex project (such that compilation time
is not instant, such that you have a chance to trigger this).
I created this demo project: https://github.com/albertz/big-latex-demo
Then trigger live preview compilation, then type sth, maybe switch tabs or so,
such that it causes an abort of the live preview. Now undo your changes, and
again trigger the live preview compilation. It will try to continue the
previous compilation. And this can fail now, if aux files are
incomplete/broken.
