Re: Auctex persistent problems not recognizing master file

[David Denton]

These are the values I get. 

TeX-master is a buffer-local variable defined in tex.el.
Global Value
t

file-local-variables-alist is a buffer-local variable without a source
file.
Global Value
nil

So Emacs / Doom-Emacs is simply not seeing the local variable when the files are
being reloaded.

You should perhaps try some basic trouble shooting. Check the value of the
variable `TeX-master` after reloading your file, and also check the value of
`file-local-variables-alist`. You can do this with `C-h v TeX-master RET` and
`C-h v file-local-variables-alist RET`.
