Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work, and when I click things, nothing happens. Not even error messages. I want to figure out what's going on and hopefully manage to use this extension that looks so great.\r\n\r\nSteps I followed:\r\n\r\n1. Installed Perl and added it to PATH\r\n2. Installed `latexmk` and added it to PATH\r\n3. Installed TeX Live and added it to PATH (I did an advanced installation choosing only a few things instead of them all, if this is relevant let me know and I'll figure out exactly what I installed and what I didn't install)\r\n4. Installed LaTeX-Workshop in VSCode\r\n5. Created a `test.tex` file with the following content:\r\n\r\n```tex\r\n\\documentclass{article}\r\n\\begin{document}\r\n  Hello World!\r\n\\end{document}\r\n```\r\n\r\n6. Left-click within VSCode opens the following options:\r\n\r\n* Build LaTeX project\r\n* SyncTeX from cursor\r\n* LaTeX actions\r\n\r\nClicking the first two does absolutely nothing (just closes the context menu).\r\nClicking `LaTeX actions > Build LaTeX Project > latexmk` also does nothing.\r\nClicking `LaTeX actions > Build LaTeX Project > pdflatex -> bibtex -> pdflatex*2`, on the other hand, does things! A lot of files are created and I get an error message:\r\n\r\n```\r\nI found no \\citation commands---while reading file test.aux\r\nI found no \\bibdata command---while reading file test.aux\r\nI found no \\bibstyle command---while reading file test.aux\r\n```\r\n\r\nI'm new to LaTeX, this probably means something, but this is not the point at the moment. The point is that the other things simply do nothing at all.\r\n\r\n**Note 1:** I am currently [experiencing an issue with VSCode itself](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/57212) that might or might not be related. **EDIT:** Looks like this is not related at all because I tried running as administrator and the problem still occurs, exactly the same way.\r\n\r\n**Note 2:** Opening a console and typing `pdflatex test.tex` works. The PDF file is generated alongside two other files: `test.aux` and `test.log`.\r\n"}}
