Dear List,

After compiling the following example, which is from February 2021:
\setuppapersize[A8,landscape]
\setuplayout[leftmargin=2.5cm,
             leftmargindistance=0.2cm,
             backspace=2.9cm,
             width=4cm]
\showframe
\starttext
\margintext{\hairline\\{Me}}\dontleavehmode\hairline
\startformula
a^n + b^n = c^n.
\stopformula
\stoptext





I get:
Command Line:   context.exe --synctex=-1 "blackrule1.tex"

Are you sure your file is called "blackrule1.tex" and exists in the same 
directory as you’re calling it?

Dear Henning, 

Many thanks. That was the problem.

Hi Uschi,

sorry for explaining what might be obvious to you now, but I think
knowing the cause might be worth it

Unfortunately, there was no compilation (source not found).

This is the real problem: UNC paths and the command prompt (CMD.EXE).

UNC paths are a Windows way to access remote units (let’s say it so).

They are similar to: "\\remote-server\directory\subdirectory\file.tex".

CMD is required by ConTeXt to run, but CMD doesn’t understand UNC paths,
so it switches the directory to the %SYSTEMROOT% (usually, C:\Windows).

This directory shouldn’t be writable (without admin rights).

So the file cannot be found, since the directory is not the one that
contains the source.

Using Explorer, it is possible to give a path such as
"\\localhost\c$\Users\USERNAME\whatever\file.txt" and open it with your
favourite editor, but it will be impossible to compile.

UNC paths in common used are mapped as local units, such as (explained
in https://ss64.com/nt/net-use.html#e):

  net use X: "\\remote-server\directory\"

That way compiling x:\subdirectory\file.tex would be no problem.

Hraban was right: there might be no %SYSTEMROOT%\blackrule1.tex.

Just in case it might help to understand was what wrong,

Pablo

context \\localhost\c$\data\develop\tmp\oeps.tex

seems to be processed (with result in current  path)

Just in case it might be relevant, I was on W10.

I would say that a similar command was right for me.

But using Textadept 11.4 and invoking compilation from the editor
triggered the error in my case.

BTW, try "cd \\localhost\c$\data\develop\tmp" in the command prompt.

It was impossible for me on W10.
