Question

I just installed macvim yesterday and I installed vim latex today.

One of the menu items is calling a broken function (TeX-Suite -> view).

When I click on the menu-time it makes this call:

:silent! call Tex_ViewLatex()

Question: Where can I find that function? Is there some way to figure out where it is defined?

---

Just for curiosity sake I removed the silent part and ran this:

:call Tex_ViewLatex()

Which produces:

Error detected while processing function Tex_ViewLaTeX:
line   34:
E121: Undefined variable: s:viewer
E116: Invalid arguments for function strlen(s:viewer)
E15: Invalid expression: strlen(s:viewer)
line   39:

E116: Invalid arguments for function Tex_Debug
line   82:
E121: Undefined variable: execString

Press ENTER or type command to continue  

I suspect that if I could see the source function I could figure out what inputs are bad or what it is looking for.

Answer 1

Use the :verbose prefix command:

:verbose function Tex_ViewLaTeX

In the second line of output (just above the function’s body) is the location of where the function was defined.
