latex via file watcher on MAC

Hi.

here is the thing:

if i run in MAC terminal (or in phpStorm terminal) command 

simpdftex latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-file-line-error -synctex=1" test.tex

it works correctly.

But when i tried configure file wacher it didn't work. I see only infinite window 'background task running'

Here is file watcher screenshot

Program: path to  simpdftex

Arguments:  latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-file-line-error -synctex=1" $FileName$

 

I suppose file watcher doesnt like that 1st argunent is latex.

Can i solve this problem , or filewatchers simply doesn't support arguments with calling another program ?

(i tried to put insted of latex in arguments line full path to latex program it didn't help)

 

 

Thank you

Yup, most likely there's no option to run another program inside an initial call, at least I've never seen this working.
