Hi!
This works:
\startproduct assorted
\project math_video_classes
\unexpanded\def\pathrelativetome%
{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes}
% \component{\pathrelativetome}
\component{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes}
\stopproduct
But this does not work (no PDF is generated):
\startproduct assorted
\project math_video_classes
\unexpanded\def\pathrelativetome%
{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes}
\component{\pathrelativetome}
% \component{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes}
\stopproduct
WHY?
Thank you,
André Caldas.

Why don’t you use the \usepath command. \startproduct assorted \usepath[src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem] \component notes \stopproduct I don’t know if this works with so many subdirectories because you do normally set the first level subdirectory with \usepath[…] (can be a list of directories) and the second level inside the first level with \usesubpath[…]. When you put now “\component …” or “\component […]” in your product file context will look for the requested file in the given subdirectories.

Because it is too magical. We DO need magic to locate system libraries. But we DO NOT need magic to locate our own project files. For this reason, the C language has #include <system_lib.h> and #include "local_lib.h" I don't want the file to be searched in a pile of directories. I know exactly where the component is: it is, here: open_mapping_theorem/notes.tex but this location is relative to the product directory: products/functional_analysis. Which is relative to the project directory. The recommended project structure is: project/products/components. Each product is aware of its own components. And each component is aware of its "sub-components". But the components or the subcomponents do not need to know anything about where exactly they live inside the project. The only magic the products need, for example, is that project wide environments are loaded automatically. Suppose I have a project with a 100 products with 20 components each. With all magic provided by the usepath, my components will have to be too much aware of the remaining other 100 projects. Files will have to have unique names, even if they are in different products. I don't really know the internals of it, but the \ctxloadluafile{module} looks like an example. In my system there is the file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/file-job.mkiv inside it, there is a \ctxloadluafile to load "file-job.lua". It seems to me that ctxloadluafile looks for the lua file in the same directory of the mkiv file that includes it. If this is not the way ctxloadluafile is implemented, I would suggest that it be. If you load the module using context --usemodule=my_lib/my_module.mkiv my_product.tex, then, the best bet is to load the my_module.lua from the same directory where my_module.mkiv lives in. I am not sure, but I guess this is the behaviour that makes most sense. Another example is the PHP language. The behaviour of the "required()" command is to look on the current working directory. And for that reason, the PHP codes are full of: require(dirname(__FILE__)."/path/relative/file_to_include.php"); I believe thing should be: 1. Predictable. 2. Local. For that reason, I don't want to use "\usepath". But even if this was not the case, it makes no sense to me that I cannot call "\component \macroname". Isn't it an expected behaviour?
