I’ve never gotten the watch command to work in the LaTeX bundle, and I’d like to see if I can’t troubleshoot it. I’m running OS 10.11.3 and TextMate 2 beta .9. I typeset through the ps->dvips route. When I run the Watch Document command I get this error:
The command `osascript -e tell application "XQuartz" to launch' failed (error code 1).
Can someone point me to the next step?
if you translate a document via the engine `latex`, then “Watch Document” uses `gv` as previewer. Since `gv` is an “X.org” programm, you first need to install “XQuartz“ [XQuartz] for this to work. After that, install `gv` via “Homebrew” [Homebrew]. Just open Terminal and paste the following two commands:
brew tap homebrew/x11 brew install gv
After you followed the steps above, you can test your setup. Just paste the following text:
%!TEX TS-program = latex \documentclass{article}
\begin{document} Hello, World! \end{document}
into a new TextMate document, save it as `test.tex`, and invoke “Watch Document”.
