When using latex-auto-mk: false files under format-resourcesdon't get copied to execution directory

[kernie]

Hi!

I have defined a section

format-resources:
        - resources/fonts/Eurostile.ttf
        - resources/formats/pdf/eforms.sty

in the pdfarea and with latex-auto-mk: true these get copied into the execution dir.

However, I want to establish an own compilation chain and use external latexmk... When I set this to latex-auto-mk: false it starts rendering but complains:

Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: File `eforms.sty' not found.

Can somebody enlighten me, what I'm doing wrong? How can I get more debug output?

Thank you!

I wasn't able to reproduce this with a simple test case (I am seeing the file being copied to the execution directory whether or not latex-auto-mk is true or false). Do you have a simple reproducible example project or repo you could share so I could take a closer look?
