Hi List,
The TikZ related module “pgfplots” is causing a fatal error in the latest ConTeXt. Here is a MWE:
\usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots] % PGFPlots module for graphs
\starttext
\starttikzpicture \draw (0, 0) circle (3cm); \stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
Without loading the pgfplots module, this draws a circle. With the \usemodule[pgfplots] line, this has the error below before doing anything.
I don’t know when this started happening, because I don’t use pgfplots often, but it was probably in the last couple months.
Thanks for all the great updates!
Gavin

these extra modules have bad loaders ... i'll send you better ones to test

pgfplots still appears to be broken in LMTX:
\usemodule[pgfplots]
\starttext Hello \stoptext
gives

@Hans, could you please send me the new loaders as well and I can test them.
Thanks, Aditya

just load tikz first so that the right loader helpers are there
\usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots]
\starttext Hello \stoptext
seems to work here
loaders are in the distribution
(it makes no sense to have 2000 dedicated loader modules for all that tikz/pgf provides, )

I did a fresh install of context and downloaded the latest version of pgf/tikz and pgfplots from ctan. Now, something is wrong with tikz:
\usemodule[tikz]
\starttext Hello \stoptext
gives the attached log file. Not sure what changed on the tikz end.
Thanks, Aditya

That's most likely due to
https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/1062 https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/pull/1073
but this MWE
\catcode`@=11
\begingroup \lccode`~=`" \lowercase{\endgroup \def\pgfmath@catcodes{% \catcode`==12 % \catcode`,=12 % \catcode`|=12 % \catcode`&=12 % \let~\pgfmath@char@quote }}%
{\pgfmath@catcodes "}
\bye
works in Knuth TeX, so it's likely not our fault.
Cheers, Henri
Thanks, Aditya

I haven't looked pgf core in a while, but does it make sense to just redefine all the catcode jugglery in pgf as a catcodetable in m-tikz.mkxl?
Thanks, Aditya

So what's with the double quote ...

there is no gain in that as it is basically a tex catcode regime with a few differences; if you look in m-mkxl it's more some other things that can clash (they use some \meaning stuff and we need to temporary disable overload mode and disable some neat new features and such)
make sure to get rid of the t-tikz modules

Tested again. Downloaded the latest context and pgf.tds.zip from ctan. Unizip pgf by using 'unzip -x "**/t-*.*" so that no t- modules from tikz are unzipped but still get the following error on a simple hello world example:
\usemodule[tikz]
\starttext Hello \stoptext
gives the attached log.
Does the latest pgf/tikz run at your end?

In case anyone else needs a temp workaround until this is resolved:
\usemodule[filter]
\startbuffer[tikz-start] \usemodule[tikz] % Add font setup % Add tikz setup \starttext \startTEXpage \starttikzpicture \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[tikz-stop] \stoptikzpicture \stopTEXpage \stoptext \stopbuffer
\defineexternalfilter [tikzpicture] [ filter=context --luatex --once, cache=yes, output=\externalfilterbasefile.pdf, readcommand=\IncludeTikzPicture, bufferbefore=tikz-start, bufferafter=tikz-stop, ]
\define[1]\IncludeTikzPicture{\externalfigure[#1]}
\starttext Hello
\starttikzpicture \draw (0,0) -- (1,1); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext

FWIW, the above example also fails on 2023.01.24 (with latest tikz from CTAN), with the same error message as in the last log. Could someone else please confirm if that is the case to rule out a misconfiguration/bug in my local install.
Thanks, Aditya
