Hallo Taco et al
\startlua local function finder(name, mode, ftype) if mode=="w" then return name else return kpse.find_file(name,ftype) end end
Jein!
Try this, a little more elaborate, version of finder:
local function finder(name, mode, ftype) local found if mode=="w" then found = name else found = kpse.find_file(name,ftype) end print("MPlib finder: " .. name .. " -> " .. found) return found end
maybe that will give a clue.

So it was running the kpse.find_file instead of returning a local name, and it is not found. There is a silent error here that I should make explicit, but the real problem (as Akira noted) is that it was in the "else" branch at all.
Example 2: my test file with your finder and ("wb" not "w") -------------------------------------------------------------- MPlib finder: mpost.mem -> mpost.mem
That is correct, here it will write to the local file mpost.mem
mpost.mem gets written now but no mpost.log
I can remove that line, it is misleading. The content of the log file is in <result>.log Best wishes, Taco
