Attempt to call a nil value
Hello list, since one of the last beta updates (now I have 2018.09.01) I can't use ConTeXt on my Win 10 32bit tablet anymore. I can't make PDFs because I get an error message. In fact, with CTX in my system path of course, even when I type the following into my command prompt, I get the same error: mtxrun --script context ./context.lua:11: attempt to call a nil value (method 'add_rule') This could have to do with the last adaption to Textadept 10. On my Win 10 x64 PC there is no problem. Any clues? Cheers and thanks, Lars.
mtxrun loads the wrong lua file, while it should load mtx-context.lua it actually uses context.lua. Since there is no context.lua in the distribution I guess context.lua is one of your files you put in the text directory, remove this file (or put it in a different folder) and ConTeXt should work again.

Thank you very much Wolfgang. You were a big help, as usual. It never came to my mind, that the Textadept lexer file /context.lua/ in my working directory could interfere with /mtxmrun/, which is located elsewhere. I should also have tried to process files from another directory instead of trying it from another PC. But since on my tablet PC I only have one single TeX directory, it didn't come to my mind to try another one. So again, thank you. Cheers, Lars. P. S.: From what I read so far you're a real TeX genius. It's always a pleasure to write with you. P. P. S.: Some people really should learn from you, not only when it comes to TeX.
