Setting up macvim in mac os catalina to work with LMTX

Setting up macvim in mac os catalina to work with LMTX

[Jan-Erik Hägglöf]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 961 bytes --]

Hi !

I am curious about testing macvim and it seems doing fine in edit mode. But how do i set up the typesetting engine?

As far as I understand, there is, the command :ConteXt with guidance from the wiki https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim>

But I do not understand how to customize it to be directed to the path to my engine

I’ve installed the LMTX in /Users/janneman/context-osx-64/



The installation works fine in TeXshop but still an error shows up in macvim and the message dissappears very quick so there is not much time to read the cause of error.

I have created the subdirectory .vim/ftplugin/ and put the context.vim file there
also the corresponding in .vim/compiler/context.vim 

which is copied from the program located in /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-163/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime

So, how do I get this up and running?

Thanks in advance

Regards

/Janne

I haven't tried LMTX yet, but you may configure the path to the ConTeXt
executable you want to use by setting `g:context_mtxrun`, e.g.:

    :let g:context_mtxrun='/path/to/context/mtxrun'

Then, executing :ConTeXt will run the configured command. You may also
define shell enviroment variables, if needed. For instance, I have
configured Vim to use my installation of ConTeXt Beta as follows:

   :let g:context_mtxrun='PATH=$HOME/path/to/context-beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun'

You may show a log of Vim messages by typing :messages.
If you post the error message, I may better diagnose your issue.

That's unnecessary. MacVim's runtime path is searched by default.
I recommend that you remove the files that you have copied into ~/.vim.
ConTeXt in Vim works out of the box.

I’m using neovim here and the same error appeared but now it was more informative

Here is my .vimrc

let g:context_mtxrun = 'PATH=$HOME/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun'
let g:context_extra_options = '--autogenerate --script context --directives="system.showerror" --autopdf —purgeall'

But it seems to have no effect

Re: Setting up macvim in mac os catalina to work with LMTX

You may want to put this in your .vimrc so that you get
error messages in English.
Personally I hate it when partly localized programs give me a
mixture of Swedish and English! :-)

(You may of course want to just include "messages" and
leave out "language".)

    " force English menus & messages
    if has('multi_lang')
      if has('unix') " Unix, Linux, Mac OS X etc.
        language messages C
      else " Windows
        language messages en
      endif
    endif

Secondly you may want to do this to get the messages history as
editable text:

    :redir > messages.txt
    :messages
    :redir END
    :e messages.txt

You can replace the first line with

    :redir @+>

to get the text in the system clipboard instead of in a
file.

Hoppas detta är till nån hjälp!
(Hope this helps!)

FYI, that error means that test3.log was not found - I guess, as that's
not a language I understand :-) - which likely means that your command
somehow failed without producing a log file (e.g., because the command
name was misspelled).

You seem to have fixed your issue, but, should you bump into further
issues, first make sure that your ConTeXt installation works properly
from the command line. Also, keep in mind that your shell environment
may be different from the environment in which ConTeXt is executed
inside Vim, so you may need to explicitly set some environment variables
(e.g., inside g:context_mtxrun) to make things sail smoothly.

Global variables (whose names start with `g:`) may be set in your vimrc,
which is typically located at $HOME/.vim/vimrc (note that the filename
does *not* start with a dot, only the directory's name does).

Good ConTeXt typesetting in Vim!
Nicola

Re: Setting up macvim in mac os catalina to work with LMTX

[Jan-Erik Hägglöf]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2914 bytes --]

I managed to typeset with success by typing in

:let g:context_mtxrun = 'PATH=$HOME/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun’
:ConTeXt

When I put this into my .vimrc file nothing is working, do not even find the context commands, so I removed the .vimrc and then it worked again.

So the question is where do I put this line permanent because it is strange to type this every time I want to typeset something.

Regards

Janne

I think I managed to get the work done by putting the settings in ~.vim/after/ftplugin/context.vimSo The problem is solved, thanks to your answers.The rest of the problem seems not to be related to this list, such as how do I use .vimrc in the correct way so to keep default global settings and just tweaking them locally.Med Vänlig Hälsning Jan-Erik Hägglöf
