Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext This is \linenote{abed intended. \stoptext

...

From which I get the error:

close source > level 2, order 3, name '/home/ousia/untitled.tex' close source > level 1, order 3, name '/home/ousia/ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' * tex error > tex error on line 0 in file : ! Emergency stop <*> cont-yes.mkiv <empty file> End of file on the terminal! Would it be any way to make ConTeXt report that \linenote{ hasn’t been closed? I mean, with a three line source, it is stupid to get this. But in a longer file, it can be an exhausting task. The scenario may be worse. At work I have a system to generate some documents (mainly letters) automatically. I have to add an option (which I didn’t find the time to fully implement it). The system uses ConTeXt and there are about 30 source files. Depending on the options you need, the main file requires the other files (via modes and \input commands). Well, in this context (no pun intended), I get an error such as this: open source > level 3, order 4, name 'untitled.tex' But the source isn’t closed. I don’t have the files here, but I don’t know even how to start searching. In this second case, how could I get a hint of what is ConTeXt expecting? May thanks fory your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Would it be any way to make ConTeXt report that \linenote{ hasn’t been closed?

Just check your file before running it: mtxrun --autogenerate --script check test.tex Running this on your example gives 2 grouping error \starttext <cr> <lf> This is \linenote{abed intended. <cr> <lf> \stoptext <cr> <lf> -) Best wishes Idris

Dear Idris, many thanks for the advice. I’m afraid that it doesn’t report errors in files loaded with the \input command %%% contents of file a.tex: \starttext This is \linenote{error intended \stoptext %%% contents of file b.tex: \starttext This only loads a file. \input a.tex \stoptext If I runt "mtxrunjit --autogenerate --script check b.tex", I get the following message: no error Is there no way to check also the files loaded by the main source?

Dear Idris,

many thanks for the advice.

I’m afraid that it doesn’t report errors in files loaded with the \input command

%%% contents of file a.tex: \starttext This is \linenote{error intended \stoptext

%%% contents of file b.tex: \starttext This only loads a file.

\input a.tex \stoptext

If I runt "mtxrunjit --autogenerate --script check b.tex", I get the following message:

no error

Is there no way to check also the files loaded by the main source? i just run that command from the editor (configured under a key) so i can use it when editing a file

(but i have to admit that i normally just run files and redo after fixing an error, running is fast enough) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hans, I have just discovered the command (thanks to the kind help of Idris), so I still have to experiment with it. First of all, many thanks for the command (method, or whatever it should be called). It is really useful. In my real-world issue, the tool it spotted my mistake (a non-closed \startnotmode nested in \startmode and followed by another \startmode). My previous reply came before having used the checking method.

...

(but i have to admit that i normally just run files and redo after fixing an error, running is fast enough)

My question here isn’t about speed. If a source may load twenty source files and it actually loads five source files, the problem is having to check the files individually. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard for someone with the requisite ability to write a script to pipe and run the check on the argument of each \input in a main file. OTOH, \input's can have \input's so it could get unwieldy pretty quick.. As a matter of workflow, I would just check each \input when editing it, don't see the need to check them all over and over - but maybe you have some huge collaborative project with lots of \inputs frequently changing..

My project isn’t collaborative (I’m the only one who writes code there) and it is by no means huge. It is probably too complex for such simple mind as mine 😉. \inputs don’t change too frequently. But the code I wrote a month ago is totally forgotten to me. I mean, I read and I understand what I wrote, but I may not remember why I did something in that particular way. I don’t need external examination to see that the code is unnecessarily complex in many ways. But I’m neither a ConTeXt or programming expert. The most common problem is that we have different conditions that weren’t considered when writing the original code. And these code additions may cause trouble. Because they need to be implemented in the shortest period of time and in the not the quietest working environment. At least for me, this is the perfect scenario to forget to close something I opened before. That being said, "mtxrunjit --autogenerate --script check" is the perfect tool to spot those stupid errors.

Hi Pablo, Your script doesn't have texroot set. You either need to source ~/.profile (or whatever sets texroot) or explicitly set it. At the top of my compile script, I've got: TEXROOT=/opt/context/tex/ TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64 export PATH=$TEXMFOS/bin:$PATH I think the fact that you're sourcing setuptex but passing in $1 as a file path is problematic, since setuptex eats $1 as the texroot.

I mean, I get the output, but after an error. $1 has full path in the first ocurrence, but it has only the relative path with echo.

Of course, I get not error by direct invocation:

As Idris pointed out too, I need to get the habit of ckecking source files every time I edit them. And creating a keyboard shortcut to launch the script automatically helps a lot. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
