Vim(let):E684: list index out of range: 1 for missing comma in bibliography #2663
Description
Description
In the middle of a bunch of updates to my latex project I suddenly started receiving the error Vim(let):E684: list index out of range: 1, with no explanation or cause to it.
I started debugging it, and after a very long time, I traced it to a missing comma inside one of my bibliography entries. I'm not sure whether the ergonomics of such an issue can be improved, but I thought of reporting this anyway.
Relevant last part of log when running with vim -V9:
49 if b:vimtex.compiler.silence_next_callback
50 call vimtex#log#set_silent_restore()
51 let b:vimtex.compiler.silence_next_callback = 0
52 endif
53
54 call vimtex#qf#open(0)
55 silent! call s:output.resume()
endfunction

Vim(let):E684: List index out of range: 1

Steps to reproduce
vimtex config:
let g:vimtex_enabled=1
" We use latex for tex
let g:tex_flavor = 'latex'
let g:vimtex_compiler_latexmk = {
\ 'build_dir' : 'build'
\}main.tex:
\documentclass[twoside,10pt]{book}
\usepackage[bibencoding=utf8,style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibl.bib}
\begin{document}
Abc \cite{art}
\printbibliography
\end{document}bibl.bib:
@article{art,
author = {someone},
title = {title}
booktitle = {book}
}Expected behavior
Some way to figure out that there is a problem in the bibliography, maybe?
Actual behavior
Random error from Vim which was also (at least for me) fairly untraceable to anything.
Do you use a latexmkrc file?
No
