\include and sub-aux_file

Maybe a good idea to use TEXINPUTS instead https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/482578/latextools-sublime-windows-texinputs

note that it may be : on Linux but ; on Windows.

Another problem is it's necessary to create auxiliary directories in output_directory for \include to work.

Is there any workaround for \include to work? Looks like changes are not detected

[user202729]

@antshar This issue is irrelevant to the fact that subfiles are not detected by default, but there is a workaround by explicitly specifying the dependencies.

$ tex_fast_recompile --help
usage: A Python module to speed up TeX compilation. Usually prepending `tex_fast_recompile` to your 
pdflatex command is enough.

  --extra-watch EXTRA_WATCH
                        Extra files to watch (default: [])
  --extra-watch-preamble EXTRA_WATCH_PREAMBLE
                        Extra files to watch -- when these files change then recompile from the
                        preamble (default: [])

I'm ok with any workaround, glad one exist. However I have some questions regarding it

• What is the correct syntax for this flag?
• Is it comma separated list? Should it be wrapped with [ ]?
• Does it respect relative path from current directory?
• Can I specify * wildcard or something to watch all files in subdirectory?

[user202729]

I thought the autogenerated documentation by argparse library would be descriptive enough... in retrospect it obviously isn't.

Anyway the correct syntax is --extra-watch file1.tex --extra-watch file2.tex.

The * wildcard is a feature supported by bash, not the program themselves. But the need to repeat --extra-watch makes --extra-watch *.tex not work properly unless there's exactly one file.

There is https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/592982/expanding-item-one-two-three-with-a-wildcard anyway. If you try hard enough:

tmparray=(file*.tex)
tex_fast_recompile "${tmparray[@]/#/--extra-watch=}" main.tex

is equivalent to

tex_fast_recompile --extra-watch=file1.tex --extra-watch=file2.tex main.tex

assume wildcard file*.tex matches file1.tex file2.tex.
