Preliminary questions [Required]

Disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, restart VS Code, and check that you still see this issue. [Required]

You still see this issue?: Yes

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. I can compile this on overleaf, which is what I would like to replicate locally.

Describe the bug [Required]

I'm trying to compile the MWE latex file locally, which compiles on overleaf. It gives the following error (I've looked at #384):

Input index file main.nlo not found.
Usage: makeindex [-ilqrcgLT] [-s sty] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p num] [idx0 idx1 ...]

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

First create the following directory structure:

.
├── HJnewsiambook.cls
├── command.tex
├── file1.tex
├── main.tex
├── newsiambk10.clo
└── refs.bib

This can be done using the following command

md test-dir
cd test-dir
touch HJnewsiambook.cls command.tex file1.tex main.tex newsiambk10.clo refs.bib

Open in VSCode while in test-dir

code .

The contents of each of these files needs to be pasted in manually as follows:

Edit: Per the suggestion by @jlelong, the required MWE files can be downloaded as a gist. See here for details.

See error

Input index file main.nlo not found.
Usage: makeindex [-ilqrcgLT] [-s sty] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p num] [idx0 idx1 ...]

Expected behavior

I expect this to compile and make the required index and compile the pdf.

Logs [Required]

Please paste the whole log messages here, not parts of ones. The log should start with Initializing LaTeX Workshop. It is very important to identify problems.

Also, I wanted to thank the creators of this awesome package. I'm used to overleaf and new to local VSCode Latex compiling, so I'm happy to clarify anything further on the MWE provided.

It is important that the logs start with Initializing LaTeX Workshop for us to have the whole background of your problem. If you want us to test your example, please create a gist with all the files so we can download it.

I advise not to modify the recipes unless you know exactly what you are doing. Using the default latexmk recipe should work out of the box and deal with bibliography and index.

Thanks @jlelong - appreciate your help. I've created a gist containing all the MWE files here.

Sure. If you could please try out the MWE per the gist and kindly advise me on best practices, I'll be happy to use what you recommend.

I confirm the default latexmk recipe works out of the box. The index is properly handled by latexmk by calling

makeindex  -o "main.ind" "main.idx"

You might want to modify your makeindex recipe accordingly. But I strongly advise you to first try the default configuration of LaTeX-Workshop.

Thanks for testing @jlelong . I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. I switched to those more advanced settings because I could not get this MWE working with the default setup earlier today.

I think the issue is with some additional LaTeX macros which I was using that may have caused some conflicts with the makeindex. I'll investigate and report back if needed.

Appreciate your help.

To find out what your problem is, you may consider running the following command line from a terminal latexmk main.tex.
