[regression] zathura forward search opens a new instance when pwd is a symlink

[moetayuko]

Description

This is a regression after 7155410

When the real place of tex file is ~/foo and I'm working in a symlink ~/bar -> ~/foo, <localleader>ll opens a zathura window A, <localleader>lv opens another window B, where:

• backward search works in window A only
• forward search works in window B only

Moreover, when having the autocmd to close viewer on exit, only window A gets closed.

Steps to reproduce

1. mkdir foo
2. ln -s foo bar
3. cd bar
4. vim -u minimal.vim minimal.tex

minimal.vim

call plug#begin()
 Plug 'lervag/vimtex'
call plug#end()

set nocp

call remote_startserver('VIM')
let g:vimtex_view_method = 'zathura'

" Close viewers when VimTeX buffers are closed
function! CloseViewers()
  if executable('xdotool')
        \ && exists('b:vimtex.viewer.xwin_id')
        \ && b:vimtex.viewer.xwin_id > 0
    call system('xdotool windowclose '. b:vimtex.viewer.xwin_id)
  endif
endfunction
augroup vimtex_event_2
  au!
  au User VimtexEventQuit call CloseViewers()
augroup END

minimal.tex

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}

Expected behavior

forward search works in window A and no new window opens

Actual behavior

as described before

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

No

Thanks! Should work as expected now.

[moetayuko]

Thanks for the fix. It no longer raises a new window on <localleader>lv now, but backward search stopped working in both source and symlink dirs.

Sorry, my bad! It works now.
