file name resolving for lua files
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c5ae4f9aa0d3a9bd5376e92b322c3e50.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi, I have noticed that my local context update scripts were not always working correctly. In particular, the mtxrun and luatools file never got updated. The reason is the following. When I run mtxrun --selfupdate I get mtxrun --selfupdate MTXrun | fileio: to be replaced old script /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts' MTXrun | fileio: checking new script /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua MTXrun | fileio: new script should come from scripts/context/lua So, mtxrun is trying to replace mtxrun from the stubs directory. In fact, if I get the same result from luatools --locate mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua Something is wrong with the search logic as texmfstart also gets this wrong. texmfstart --locate mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua% However, kpsewhich works correctly. kpsewhich mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua Do others also get the same result? Any idea what is going wrong here? Aditya

Hi Aditya, On my machine (Mac OS X) the Minimals are installed and when trying what you suggest I get the correct path: localhost:~ kavian$ luatools --locate mtxrun.lua /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua localhost:~ kavian$ texmfstart --locate mtxrun.lua /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua localhost:~ kavian$ I remember that a long time ago when I was using texlive, at some point the issues with scripts being in a "stubs" subdirectory of context appeared, but don't remember how the issue was fixed (maybe Mojca or Hans did something magic to solve it?).

Something is wrong with the search logic as texmfstart also gets this wrong.
texmfstart --locate mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua%
However, kpsewhich works correctly.
kpsewhich mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua
Do others also get the same result? Any idea what is going wrong here?

Can anyone on linux 64 confirm this? I want to cofirm if this is something general or specific to my machine.
I remember that a long time ago when I was using texlive, at some point the issues with scripts being in a "stubs" subdirectory of context appeared, but don't remember how the issue was fixed (maybe Mojca or Hans did something magic to solve it?).
I get the correct result with TL09, but incorrect result on two differnt minimal installations. Aditya

The output of luatools --track=resolvers.locating,resolvers.details,resolvers.expansions --find-file mtxrun.lua is attached. I don't know know to interpret the result, but nothing seems glaringly wrong. Aditya

need some thinking ... anyhow, i get LuaTools | fileio: checking filename 'mtxrun.lua' LuaTools | fileio: file './mtxrun.lua' is not readable LuaTools | fileio: file 'c:/data/develop/context/lua/mtxrun.lua' is readable LuaTools | fileio: found 'c:/data/develop/context/lua/mtxrun.lua' by scanning LuaTools | fileio: c:/data/develop/context/lua/mtxrun.lua btw ... we can remove the etex, pdfetex and omega entries in the cnf file i think (i wonder if there's anything useful in those subpaths) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks. I changed TEXMFSCRIPTS in texmf.cnf to include the specific directories, and now luatools finds the correct file and --selfupdate works.

Do you mean that the stubs director should not have mtxrun.lua? I have $find /opt/experimental -name 'mtxrun.lua' /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua /opt/experimental/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua
also, selfupdate should not be influenced by that as it should take the original

Also, mtxrun and luatools do not set the exit flag correctly in case of a failure. For example, (in the old setup) $mtxrun --selfupdate MTXrun | fileio: to be replaced old script /opt/context-minimals/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts' MTXrun | fileio: checking new script /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/mswin/mtxrun.lua MTXrun | fileio: new script should come from scripts/context/lua $ echo $? 0 Because of this, I never noticed that something was going wrong in my update scripts.

eh ... there is no stub on your machine, just mtxrun (without suffix) copied to bin, on windows there is mtxrun.exe and mtxrun.lua in the bin path i just put duplicates into mswin/stubs for convenience Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
