Hi,
Here is what I assume has happened:
Hans gave LMTX its own "luametatex-cache” directory (around August 20). Previously, the cache for LMTX still used files under luatex-cache, just like MKIV. But since that change, the “context -—generate” call no longer updates files in luatex-cache, only in luametatex-cache.
That is not a big problem unless something happens to clear any existing cache in that folder (like a re-install from scratch, say).
Normally, one runs “context —-generate” to fix the cache and “context —-luatex” to run luatex Combined, that would be
“context —-generate —-luatex”.
But the problem is that luatex cannot find “mtx-context.lua” exactly because of the missing cache that we are actually trying to create with that command line. Missing “mtx-context.lua” is usually fixed by running the more basic “mtxrun —generate”.
However, “mtxrun -—generate” does not currently support a "-—luatex” argument, so the only way I know of right now to get the luatex-cache restored|updated is to run the command below.
(Incidentally, this sort of issue is why the core command is not “context -—generate” but “mtxrun -—generate”. It is unfortunate that that does not help in this case).
Best wishes,
Taco
