I think it would be rather helpful to add these "multiple errors" (and your minimal.vim!) to your bug report, otherwise it's hard to tell what's going on.

What @clason said. Please add more details!

I strictly use the example of minimal.vim:

set nocompatible
let &runtimepath  = '~/.vim/bundle/vimtex,' . &runtimepath
let &runtimepath .= ',~/.vim/bundle/vimtex/after'
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable

Run :VimtexCompile the second time, some errors are reported:

[clason]

This means you haven't actually configured Sumatra as your viewer! See :h vimtex-view-sumatrapdf.

[lervag]

I believe I fixed the problem with the error message - please update and test.

I don't think so...I have sumatraPDF executable in path, and as I have said, vimtex works well in vim (open pdf automaticliy after finishing compiling), but not in neovim.

Yes, errors go away. But sumatraPDF still not be automaticliy opened.

let &runtimepath  = '~/.vim/bundle/vimtex,' . &runtimepath
let &runtimepath .= ',~/.vim/bundle/vimtex/after'
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable

I you use the above minimal.vim, then you did not setup SumatraPDF as explain in :help vimtex-view-sumatrapdf.

As described in docs:

For convenience, the above configuration is used by default on Windows if
SumatraPDF is detected as executable.

And I also tried to setup by myself, this bug still exists.

[lervag]

Hah, good point, sorry. :)

[lervag]

Question: Does it work with Vim but not neovim?

[RnYi]

Yes. And I just find another bug, quickfix also are not opened even though tex file has errors.

[lervag]

Strange. I've pulled up a Windows VM and for me, everything works as expected. Can you explain in more detail how your system is configured?

[lervag]

Which OS (including version).
