fontloader error in latex: attempt to call upvalue 'getdirection' (a nil value)
I just tried to import the fontloader from 2019-01-03 into latex, and get on a simple document the error (./test-utf8.aux)error: ...ad/texmf/tex/luatex/luaotfload/fontloader-2019-01-03.lua:23868: attempt to call upvalue 'getdirection' (a nil value) . \newpage ...k \@nobreakfalse \everypar {}\fi \par \ifdim \prevdepth
\z@ \vs...
l.51 \end{document} I have no idea (yet) if this is latex specific or if it could affect context too but thought I better mention it. The line refers to this part of the code: pardirstate=function(start) local nxt=getnext(start) local dir=getdirection(start) --<-- if dir==lefttoright then return nxt,1,1 -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Many thanks for your report, Ulrike. This was the same problem that prevented the compilation of the following code: \setupdirections[bidi=on, method=two] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext After your report, Hans fixed the issue (which I tried to report twice, but the mailing list rejected my messages). Many thanks for your report and for the fix from Hans, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Well not for generic. I tried yesterday the context state from 2019-01-07 and still have the problem that getdirection is called somewhere but actually nil. But I don't have the time to investigate or to try to create a generic example currently. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Oh, good tipp. You are right with luatex 1.09 it compiles fine. That means that I don't need to debug but should stick to the state of 2018-12-19 until texlive 2019 comes out. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
