OK, for now you can set it like this (.tm_properties in your project):

    TM_LATEX_MASTER = "$CWD/JUR11-Permission.tex"

Here $CWD is a plcaeholder for the folder containing the .tm_properties file.

I am not sure if relative paths were fully supported in the past, for example if you had a project like:

   chapters/intro.tex
   master.tex

And set TM_LATEX_MASTER to ‘master.tex’ and built with ‘intro.tex’ open, then I think it would have failed, as ‘master.tex’ would be resolved against the folder of ‘intro.tex’.

Sounds like the same issue that this commit solves (but for another command) https://github.com/textmate/latex.tmbundle/commit/f95d2b89d1a030145e768743bb5a5e64e617ba7f

Though see my comment about this probably being fixed in a wrong way.

Thanks for the additional info, I have tracked down the problematic commit and should have a fix for next build.
