This is a follow up to How do I bind latexmk to one key in Emacs and have it show errors if there are any.

I’m using a function in Emacs to compile LaTeX documents with latexmk but it does not behave exactly as I want. The function I use is one Jouni K. Seppänen came up with:

(defun run-latexmk ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((TeX-save-query nil)
        (TeX-process-asynchronous nil)
        (master-file (TeX-master-file)))
    (TeX-save-document "")
    (TeX-run-TeX "latexmk" "latexmk" master-file)
    (if (plist-get TeX-error-report-switches (intern master-file))
        (TeX-next-error t)
      (minibuffer-message "latexmk done"))))

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "C-0") #'run-latexmk)))

The main problem is that when I use the function (by pressing C-0) it sometimes throws me into an empty buffer called TeX Live 2011.

One way of reproducing this problem is by trying to compile the following (it does not matter that vc.tex does not exist):

\immediate\write18{sh ./vc}
\input{vc}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

Another way of reproducing it is to try to compile the following:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{foo}{
\begin{document}
\end{document}

A minor (cosmetic) problem is that the height of the minibuffer sometimes expands from one line to two lines as run-latexmk and after it has run it pops back to one line height. I have had problems finding a simple example to reproduce this behavior (I’ve only reproduced it for very large documents).

I would like a solution for both problems. I’d also be interested in other ways for me to interact with latexmk in Emacs.

Here’s the *... output* buffer from the last example (the one with missing closing curly bracket of \newcommand:

There is a problem with how latexmk is being invoked. It is invoked with no arguments and so it tries to compile all tex files in the directory including the newly created vc.tex. This of course causes problems because vc.tex can’t be compiled and so you get an error every time.

Starting from the function you have it is fairly easy to fix using TeX-command-expand like:

(defun run-latexmk ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((TeX-save-query nil)
        (TeX-process-asynchronous nil)
        (master-file (TeX-master-file)))
    (TeX-save-document "")
    (TeX-run-TeX "latexmk"
                 (TeX-command-expand "latexmk %t" 'TeX-master-file)
                 master-file)
    (if (plist-get TeX-error-report-switches (intern master-file))
        (TeX-next-error t)
      (minibuffer-message "latexmk done"))))

EDIT: In order to fix the problem with the “TeX Live 2011” buffer, you have to use the other answer as well.
