Version 3.7 does not work correctly with subdirectories for auxiliary files

[emersonmello]

Dear @nlct ,

In my setup, I employ bib2gls, latexmk, and the VSCode with the LatexWorkshop Extension (On macOS + MacTeX-2023). This combination has been working properly for some time. However, it appears that there is an issue with version 3.7 of bib2gls (https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/releases/tag/v3.7).

I have a preference for storing auxiliary files (i.e. .aux, .log, .glstex, .glg, etc.) within a subdirectory (i.e. 'build'). Unfortunately, version 3.7 is not working properly with this configuration.

I'm using the following .latexmkrc

$out_dir = 'build';

# https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/400325/latexmkrc-for-bib2gls
push @file_not_found, '^Package .* No file `([^\\\']*)\\\'';
print("GLOBAL LATEXMK: Glossaries Module...\n");

add_cus_dep('aux', 'glstex', 0, 'run_bib2gls');
add_cus_dep( 'glo', 'gls', 0, 'run_bib2gls' );

sub run_bib2gls {
  my ($base, $path) = fileparse( $_[0] );
  
  if ($path && -e "$base.glstex") {
    rename "$base.glstex", "$path$base.glstex";
  } 
  my $silent_command = $silent ? "--silent" : "";


  if ( $path ) {
    my $ret = system("bib2gls $silent_command -d '$path' --group '$base'");
  } else {
    my $ret = system("bib2gls $silent_command --group '$_[0]'");
  };

  # Analyze log file.
  local *LOG;
  $LOG = "$_[0].glg";
  if (!$ret && -e $LOG) {
    open LOG, "<$LOG";
    while (<LOG>) {
      if (/^Reading (.*\.bib)\s$/) {
        rdb_ensure_file( $rule, $1 );
      }
    }
    close LOG;
  }
  return $ret;
}

Below is a brief example showcasing a successful build output using version 3.6 alongside latexmk.

Following that, the output when using version 3.7 of bib2gls in conjunction with latexmk.

As you can see, in version 3.7, the program is searching for glossary.bib within the subdirectory, rather than in the current directory.

Hi, thank you for your message. I think it must be the change to the TeX Parser Library (nlct/texparser@707a33c) that's caused the problem. I'll get it fixed.

Fixed in commit 6fd7a16. I've just uploaded v3.8 to CTAN. Allow a few days for it to reach your TeX distribution.
