Possible issue with forward search and the subfiles package

[wbthomason]

Bug description

When using forward search in a multi-file document with sections managed using https://ctan.org/pkg/subfiles, texlab seems to use the wrong path for substituting the %p variable in invoking the viewer for forward search.

In particular: using forward search from the main LaTeX file succeeds, indicating that the basic forward-search setup is configured correctly. However, trying forward search from a subfile results in an error when the viewer tries to open a nonexistent file.

For example, in a project organized as follows:

main.tex
sections/
    foo.tex

where foo.tex is included in main.tex using \subfile{sections/foo.tex}, forward search from a point in foo.tex causes the viewer to try to open sections/./foo.pdf instead of main.pdf.

Versions

texlab version: 1.10.0
LSP client/editor: coc.nvim and Neovim, both latest from master.
Platform: Arch Linux

Config

"latex.build.onSave": false,
"latex.forwardSearch.executable": "okular",
"latex.forwardSearch.args": ["--unique", "file:%p#src:%l%f"],

Empty latexmkrc, compilation managed with vimtex configured as

let g:vimtex_view_forward_search_on_start = 0
let g:vimtex_view_general_viewer = 'okular'
let g:vimtex_view_general_options = '--unique file:@pdf\#src:@line@tex'
let g:vimtex_view_general_options_latexmk = '--unique'

Thanks for the detailed report. The issue should be fixed with v2.0.0.
