Dear List,
a question about \typefile{}.
I tried to use \typefile{ /with/an/absolute/path/to/some_file } and failed
Message in the log: Verbatim some_file not found. Also tried with
no path at all, assuming it will take the file from the current directory.
Same result.
Do I miss something? Should this work? Or, if not, how can I achieve
this effect (typefile
with absolute path to a file. btw. on a Linux system)
I'm aware of a similar message thread to this list from May 25th, this year.
But I didn't feel that it speaks against my comprehension of \typefile ...
Thanks!
Erik

\starttext
\typefile{\jobname.tex}
\typefile{/tmp/test.tex}
\stoptext
work with ConTeXt MkIV 2012.11.16.
However, I can confirm that
\typefile{/usr/bin/pdf2ps} does not work with context minimals on
archlinux, although the texmfcnf.lua file says:
["system.outputmode"] = "restricted",
["system.inputmode"] = "any",

Hi,
Thanks Aditya!
I tried this again with
\starttext
\typefile{/tmp/xxx.tex}
\stoptext
and could trace what's going on ... (not even /tmp/xxx.tex worked)
The lines below is the trace output belonging to "/tmp/xxx
stat("tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
I could verify that "tmp/xxx.tex" is actually found!
current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
Anything I can do about that? (I guess I can work with relative paths
below - tested this ...)
Context Version: current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
System: Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
regards
Erik

I just tried a standalone on a xubuntu virtual machine. I had no
problems with
/data/temp/test/test.tex: (also copied one level lower)
\starttext
\typefile{/data/temp/test.tex}
\typefile{/data/test.tex}
\stoptext
So, I'm a bit puzzled.

On my machine, I can read files **with an extension** from anywhere in the
system, but \typefile{...} for a file without an extension results in:
verbatims > file abc does not exist

Compiling the evidence... all I can say is "hmm"
== Erik ==
Version: 2012.11.16 on Linux
Absolute path (parent dir): ???
Absolute path (non-parent dir): did not work
== Aditya ==
Version: 2012.11.16 on Linux
["system.outputmode"] = "restricted",
["system.inputmode"] = "any",
Absolute path (parent dir): works
Absolute path (non-parent dir): works
Absolute path (filename has no extension): fails
== Hans ==
Version: ??? on Linux
Absolute path (parent dir): works
Absolute path (non-parent dir): /??
== Sietse ==
Version: 2012.11.08 on Linux
["system.outputmode"] = "restricted",
["system.inputmode"] = "any",
Absolute path (parent dir): does not work
Absolute path (non-parent dir): does not work
Relative path: works
Absolute or relative path, filename has no extension: does not work.
Hmm.

That's interesting. As I could trace, the leading / is removed on my system.
ldd output on my luatex gives (seems not really spectacular):
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffad7ff000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f221f099000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f221ee17000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f221ea8f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f221f2c1000)
lua -v gives: Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
Though, I have lua5.2 installed in parallel
Any other infos, which might help?

ah .. but it makes sense to be explicit in what you want to be typed
(it's not an input file in the sense of a document)

I think he means files of which the name does not have an extension.
I.e. he is trying to type a file called 'xxx', not 'xxx.something'.
Example of such a file: the shell script /usr/bin/ps2pdf.
Cheers,

hopefully fixed in next upload .. btw, testing can best be done with
\enabletrackers[resolvers.locating,resolvers.detail]
