Trouble with editors on Mac

Trouble with editors on Mac

[Mari Voipio]

Hi!

I updated my ConTeXt installation today and now it refuses to work
with TextMate and TeXworks. When I use the typesetting command on
either editor, I get the error message

mtxrun          | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'


The weird thing is that my ConTeXt standalone installation works on
command line (with "context myfile.tex").
I've used TextMate for a year and did not change anything there. Both
editors also have my ConTeXt directory
/Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context as PATH variable (I
got a different error message on TeXworks before I edited the path
variable to include ConTeXt). So in theory everything should be
fine...


I first installed the newest ConTeXt and when it gave the above error
message, I switched to latest "stable" version (installation with
--context=current), but that didn't make any difference. My previous
installation was at least 3 months old, possibly quite a bit older.


This problem is not critical as I can use TextMate/TeXworks as editor
and compile on command line in Terminal,  but it is a bit of a
nuisance not to be able to use the typesetting command in the editor.
So any help is highly appreciated.


Thanks,

Mari

Hi Mari,

I use TeXShop. TeXWorks is based on TeXShop.
For ConTeXt Standalone I use:

set path= (/Users/quayjay/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin  $path /usr/local/bin)
mtxrun --script context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"

This ensures that the environment is setup right.

Hope this helps

regards
	Keith.

As you come from windows/scite you could try scite on osx. Unfortunately 
I couldn't figure quit how to use the new context lexers on that platform.

Hello,


I think, you should remove the last 'context' in your PATH. So it should be '/Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/'.

That was a cut-and-paste error, the path was ok. Sharp eyes you have,
spotting that, I didn't notice at all!

I finally realized that I hadn't tried using ConTeXt from an editor
since I installed MacTeX Basic on this computer (the full package
refuses to download, even with Safari). So the problem wasn't in the
ConTeXt update but in what I did before that.
It took a bit of digging, but in a moment of inspiration I checked
/usr/ and found a symbolic link
texbin -> /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin

I *think* that was what wreaked havoc in my editors, because when I
_removed_ the texbin path from TextMate, ConTeXt started working again
in that editor.

So now I have TextMate for ConTeXt and TeXShop for LaTeX, and I'm
quite content with this arrangement; I don't mind having dedicated
software as long as it works and I've achieved that aim now.


Thank you all for your help in deducing that I indeed had a path
problem, that led me to find a (the?) solution.


Regards,

Mari

You editor probably isn't picking up ConTeXt because it's probably not on
the system path. I add the setuptex command at the end of .bashrc or
.bash_profile. This makes it accessible from the terminal, but not all
programs read in .bashrc or .bash_profile. You should add ConTeXt to your
editor's path, if possible.

Hi Mari,
I cannot help you with your particular problem other than suggesting to give TeXShop a try.
I have used it for many years and it has never given me any problem whatsoever.

Just to make sure, I updated the standalone today (beta with all goodies) and again no problem.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
