Latex in vscode throwing error

[scoopy]

Hi. I just installed endeavour and am trying to get my typical work environments set up. One such work environment is LaTeX in VScode. I installed code, texlive-bin, and texlive-binextra, as well as the LaTeX Workshop extension in vscode (thus far has been pretty much identical to how I’ve done it on windows and macos), and yet still files will not compile. The output it gives me which appears the most relevant is:

This message may duplicate earlier message.
Latexmk: Failure in processing file '/home/patrick/Documents/template_file':
     *LaTeX didn't generate the expected log file 'template_file.log'

(the file I’m trying to compile is called template_file)
I’m new not only to arch but to linux overall and really do not know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

can you run latexmk from the terminal? Have you set up the latex workshop extension properly?
I don’t think it’s a linux issue. I had problems setting up latex in vscode in windows. Look at latex workshop help/documentation, I think the issue is on that side.

it appears i didnt have all the necessary texlive packages installed (or something). texlive-bin and texlive-binextra were not enough. installing texlive through aur chaotic manager allowed me to compile.
