Cannot auto-complete citations using a bib file in the texmf tree about latextools

[tpoisot]

I've looked at the code, and I think the solution is fairly simple. Line 91 in latex_cite_compl.py already checks the location of the documents. It's just a matter of looking for it in $TEXMF/bibtex/bib.

Thanks, I ll look into this. M

This is related to issue 47.

@msiniscalchi: I can have a look at this. Should we also consider being able to disable cite completion on a per-project basis in case the user doesn't wish to see all of the bib entries from external bib files?

I'm not sure. Right now cite completion only works on files that are
actually referenced in the tex file(s). There should be no need for project
management, right? Unless you mean that your project can determine whether
it's OK to look for bib files in the local texmf tree or not... But I don't
see why this should be configurable per-project.

My "ideal" would be for the plugin to do pretty much what tex&friends do.
So, if indeed bibtex looks in the texmf tree, then so should the plugin.
But I don't see this as a high-priority item: keep in mind that the plugin
has to work across platforms and tex distributions, and getting things
right is usually a big headache

About the per-project thing, I was considering the latter (determining whether or not it's okay to look for bib files in the local texmf tree), but that was with the mindset that the plugin would manage the directories to search that are specified in sublime-settings files, but the ideal solution you have in mind probably doesn't require this extra layer of user intervention/configuration.

I'm not sure if the shell commands kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME (gets the local texmf directory path) and/or kpsewhich -var-value BIBINPUTS (returns the directories that bibtex searches for bib files) would be sufficient to determine whether or not to search the local texmf tree when performing cite completion.

p.s. I'm interested in working on this plugin some more. Are there any (higher-priority) features/fixes that I can look into?

What is the status of this issue? Having the same exact issue here.

Edit:
As apc mentioned, #47 is a possible workaround. That fixes the problem for me.

The work around works, but is there any way to hard code this? I think the LaTeX standard is to keep personal .bib, .bst, .cls, and .sty files in the texmf folder. The linked issue (#47) mentions a hard code solution via texfiledir, but in my ST3 LaTeXTools this is commented out. Is there a way that I can hard code this? Or add a personal settings?

Thanks! (I hope I don't sound ungrateful, I'm just getting started with ST3 after a long time on Vim and want to make sure that I don't start off on day one with a nest of ../../../../../../ that I have to reverse engineer every time. :) ).

This was fixed quite a while ago now.
