Hans, if I run mtxrun --script patterns --convert on TeX Live 2010 it stops working with cannot open : No such file or directory #1 feature request: it would be nice to have a slightly more informative feedback The problem appears in the following line: function scripts.patterns.prepare() dofile(resolvers.find_file("char-def.lua")) end inside mtx-patterns.lua since apparently luatools doesn't find char-def.lua

...

luatools char-def.lua [no response] kpsewhich char-def.lua /Users/mojca/soft/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/char-def.lua [kpsewhich finds the file]

In ConTeXt minimals this works fine. #2 bugfix request: any idea why it fails or how to fix it? Thanks a lot, Mojca

Did you run luatools --generate? What is the value of $TEXMFCACHE? Is it writable by the user? Aditya

Yes, I did. The cache is written to ~/.texlive2010/texmf-var/luatex-cache/. It seems that only *.lua files in base folder aren't found with luatools (and maybe some others?) The lua files in scripts/context/lua/ are found without a problem. Mojca

Isn't there a variable for that? $LUASCRIPTS or $LUAINPUTS Aditya

LUAINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/{$progname,$engine,}/{lua,}//;$TEXINPUTS with TEXINPUTS being an extremely long & complicated list that maybe luatools fails to interpret in the same way as kpathsea: [many many lines] TEXINPUTS.context = .;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain,generic,}// % Earlier entries override later ones, so put this generic one last. TEXINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/tex/{$progname,generic,}// Mojca

As an experiment, does it work if you explicitly enter $TEXMF/tex/context// to LUAINPUTS. Aditya

No. But maybe it's just my installation. Can anyone else try to test the new TL? Taco? Does luatools char-def.lua return anything on your installation? Mojca

If I ask on the TL mailing list, the sole answer will be "it works with kpathsea, so the texmf.cnf configuration must be right". One thing that I don't understand: the ConTeXt format does generate. I have no idea why only this fails. Mojca

Same problem you have: it doesn't find it. And here is why: luatools is using TEXMFSCRIPTS as search path because of the .lua extension and (quite predictably) TEXMFSCRIPTS does not contain the TEXINPUTS directories in TeX Live (nor should it, I think). It would be much better if luatools used LUAINPUTS for .lua files, but it may be too late for fixing luatools. We can probably convince Karl to add this to web2c/texmf.cnf: TEXMFSCRIPTS.context=.;$TEXMF/scripts/{$progname,$engine,}//;$TEXINPUTS with that addition, and after --generate: [taco@ntg tmp]$ luatools char-def.lua /home/taco/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/char-def.lua all is well again. Best wishes, Taco

puzzles me as on my machine it only uses that when no LUAINPUTS is defined

That is the core of the problem: on linux, the current luatools ignores LUAINPUTS. More email in private as it gets very technical. Taco

Hans,

if I run mtxrun --script patterns --convert on TeX Live 2010 it stops working with cannot open : No such file or directory

hm, i generate them using explicit path (call mentioned at the bottom of mtx-patterns as i don't want to depend on tex live ... lessons from the past have taught me to keep an eye on it not sure where the message comes from .. do they ship the same mtxrun as context does? (i.e. we use different stubs than the other tex things)

...

#1 feature request: it would be nice to have a slightly more informative feedback

The problem appears in the following line: function scripts.patterns.prepare() dofile(resolvers.find_file("char-def.lua")) end inside mtx-patterns.lua since apparently luatools doesn't find char-def.lua

it does here and in my minimals so what fails in tl? i have LUAINPUTS = .;$CTXDEVLUPATH;$TEXINPUTS;$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua//

...

...
luatools char-def.lua [no response] kpsewhich char-def.lua /Users/mojca/soft/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/char-def.lua [kpsewhich finds the file]

In ConTeXt minimals this works fine.

#2 bugfix request: any idea why it fails or how to fix it?

well, i don't have tex live installed as i switched to the minimals ... so now you want me to go back in time?
