Strange behaviour by processing a project file

Strange behaviour by processing a project file

[pavel]

Hello,

I have the following file structure:

  * file "my-project.tex" contains:

     \environment my-environment
    
     \startproject my-project
    
     \product my-product1
     \product my-product2
    
     \stopproject

  * file "my-environment.tex" contains:

    ... font definitions, style definitions etc.

  * file "my-product1.tex" contains:

     \project my-project
     
     \startproduct my-product1
     ...
     \stopproduct
    
  * file "my-product2.tex" contains:
  
     \project my-project
     
     \startproduct my-product2
     ...
     \stopproduct

     
Now, when I process the product1 with "context my-product1.tex" I get the output in my-product1.pdf
as expected.
But when I try to process the whole project with "context my-project.tex", the file is processed
but I get no pdf output, which surprise me, because in the reference manual contextref.pdf
I read:
     
   "In principal a project file contains only a list of products and
    environments. If you would process the project file all products
    will be placed in one document. This is seldom wanted."

So I would expect to get one pdf outputfile with all products.

Could anyone explain me, why I don't get any pdf output?

Best regards

Pavel

A project cannot be typeset, only products and components. The
mechanism was recently changed from a tolerant to a more strict
version that now causes your problem.

  “Projects are just there to help clever editors to identify
  products.” [1]
