As in the title. If there are many main files in the same directory, running TexlabBuild on one of the files could result in one or more different files being built; the file actually open may or may not get built. I know it's probably not good practice to keep multipole main files in the same directory, but still this doesn't seem to be the desired behavior.

Thanks for the report. This one is a bit difficult to diagnose. I have a few questions:

  • Do you use the subfiles package?
  • Does each main file have a document environment in the same file?
  • Do you use tectonic?
  • Do the main files (indirectly) share code?

  • No subfiles
  • Each main file has a document env
  • Not using tectonic; I am just using lualatex from my TeX distro
  • They share a single .bib file; nothing else is shared

I think the shared .bib file can be the problem. I tried building multiple main files in another directory where the files don't share a .bib file, nothing surprising happens.

I think the shared .bib file can be the problem.

@Doltonius Yeah, this can definitely be a problem for texlab. Due to the way, the current algorithm works, all files are thrown together into one "project". That's why, the selection of the root file is arbitrary in this case.

I am currently working on a fix but this might take some more time.

fix(tex): Work around texlab building the wrong document
325154b 
All software is broken, and so is texlab:

latex-lsp/texlab#757

When sharing a bibliography, texlab gets confused and always builds
extended-abstract.tex, even when asked to build Multiset.tex.
To work around that, put the former in its own subdirectory.

texlab: update to 5.5.0.
471a37e 
## [5.5.0] - 2023-04-16

### Added

- Allow optionally passing cursor position to `textDocument/build` request for use in forward search after building.
  Previously, the server had to guess the cursor position ([#475](latex-lsp/texlab#475))
- Add experimental `texlab.experimental.citationCommands` setting to allow extending the list of citation commands
  ([#832](latex-lsp/texlab#832))
- Add support for escaping placeholders in build arguments similar to forward search
- Allow configuring completion matching algorithm ([#872](latex-lsp/texlab#872))

### Fixed

- Fix regression introduced in `v5.4.2` involving `texlab.cleanArtifacts` command.

## [5.4.2] - 2023-04-11

### Fixed

- Fix memory leak when editing documents over a long time ([#856](latex-lsp/texlab#856))
- Fix parsing parentheses in file paths ([#874](latex-lsp/texlab#874))

## [5.4.1] - 2023-03-26

### Fixed

- Do not return symbols with empty names (e. g. sections without name) ([#870](latex-lsp/texlab#870))
- Repair `textDocument/formatting` request ([#871](latex-lsp/texlab#871))

## [5.4.0] - 2023-03-12

### Added

- Add experimental settings to allow extending the list of special environments:
  - `texlab.experimental.mathEnvironments`
  - `texlab.experimental.enumEnvironments`
  - `texlab.experimental.verbatimEnvironments`
- Add `texlab.changeEnvironment` workspace command ([#849](latex-lsp/texlab#849))
- Add `texlab.showDependencyGraph` workspace command

### Changed

- Do not show caption or section names in label inlay hints ([#858](latex-lsp/texlab#858))
- Include more user-defined commands in command completion

### Fixed

- Parse nested `\iffalse` blocks correctly ([#853](latex-lsp/texlab#853))
- Parse commands with multi-byte characters correctly ([#857](latex-lsp/texlab#857))
- Fix checking whether a document can be a root file

## [5.3.0] - 2023-02-25

### Added

- Allow filtering `textDocument/documentSymbols` using regular expressions specified via
  `texlab.symbols.allowedPatterns` and `texlab.symbols.ignoredPatterns`
  ([#851](latex-lsp/texlab#851))

### Fixed

- Do not use percent-encoded path when searching for PDF files during forward search
  ([#848](latex-lsp/texlab#848))
- Always return an empty list of code actions instead of returning "method not found" ([#850](latex-lsp/texlab#850))

## [5.2.0] - 2023-01-29

### Added

- Include line numbers in build warnings when available ([#840](latex-lsp/texlab#840))
- Add `none` formatter to `texlab.latexFormatter` and `texlab.bibtexFormatter` options
  to allow disabling formatting ([#846](latex-lsp/texlab#846))

### Fixed

- Concatenate more than two lines of maximum length in build diagnostics ([#842](latex-lsp/texlab#842))
- Apply the correct range of references to labels when renaming ([#841](latex-lsp/texlab#841))
- Use `document` environment to detect root file instead of `\documentclass` ([#845](latex-lsp/texlab#845))

## [5.1.0] - 2023-01-21

### Added

- Allow manually overriding the root directory using a `texlabroot`/`.texlabroot` marker file.
  See the wiki for more information.
  ([#826](latex-lsp/texlab#826), [#838](latex-lsp/texlab#838))

### Deprecated

- Deprecate `texlab.rootDirectory` setting in favor of `.texlabroot` files

### Fixed

- Do not use `.git`, `.chktexrc`, `.latexmkrc` files/directories to determine the root directory
  ([#826](latex-lsp/texlab#826))
- Fix building documents without an explicit root directory ([#837](latex-lsp/texlab#837))

## [5.0.0] - 2022-12-29

### Changed

- _BREAKING_: `texlab.rootDirectory` is now used as the folder path from which the compiler is executed
  relative to the main document. By default it is equal to `"."`. For more information, please visit the wiki.
- Improve performance of completion by a huge margin due to a faster filtering method used internally
- Do not discover project files beyond the provided workspace folders
- Try to guess the root directory by checking for files such as `.latexmkrc` or `Tectonic.toml` if `texlab.rootDirectory` is not set

### Fixed

- Update positions of reported build diagnostics when editing the affected line
- Do not treat links to files as bidirectional by default. This prevents issues where `texlab` ends up compiling the wrong file
  in projects with shared files ([#806](latex-lsp/texlab#806), [#757](latex-lsp/texlab#757), [#679](latex-lsp/texlab#679))
- Fix coverage of directories which need to be watched for changes ([#502](latex-lsp/texlab#502), [#491](latex-lsp/texlab#491))
- Resolve links of the `import` package correctly
- Use `filterText` of completion items when filtering internally ([#829](latex-lsp/texlab#829))

## [4.3.2] - 2022-11-20

### Fixed

- Do not try to run the TeX engine on package files and fail the build instead ([#801](latex-lsp/texlab#801))
- Handle URIs with URL-encoded drive letters on Windows ([#802](latex-lsp/texlab#802))
- Parse BibTeX entries with unbalanced quotes correctly ([#809](latex-lsp/texlab#809))
- Provide completion for more acronym commands ([#813](latex-lsp/texlab#813))
- Fix parsing acronym definitions ([#813](latex-lsp/texlab#813))

## [4.3.1] - 2022-10-22

### Fixed

- Do not crash with a stack overflow when trying to load packages with many internal dependencies ([#793](latex-lsp/texlab#793))
- Normalize drive letters of all document URIs
- Fix parsing commands that take file paths as arguments ([#789](latex-lsp/texlab#789))
- Use the correct working directory and command line arguments when calling `latexindent` ([#645](latex-lsp/texlab#645))
- Fix publishing to CTAN

## [4.3.0] - 2022-09-25

### Added

- Add inlay hints for `\label{...}` ([#753](latex-lsp/texlab#753))

### Fixed

- Improve accuracy of the error locations reported by the TeX engine ([#738](latex-lsp/texlab#738))
- Reduce number of false positive errors reported by `texlab` ([#745](latex-lsp/texlab#745))
