Project structure with nested subfolders and shared environments.

Project structure with nested subfolders and shared environments.

[Pawel Urbanski via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1358 bytes --]

Dear Everyone,
I'm setting up a project structure that will possibly let me share styles
and layouts with lots of documents I need to create weekly.
Unfortunately my definitions in the environment file or files are ignored...

Here is the setup under the purposely created structure:
** The folder called: 'MainFolder' is the root of my document repository.
** The 'Metadata' folder inside the 'MainFolder' contains environment files.
** The 'SubFolder/SubSubFolder' inside the 'MainFolder' is the nestin
glevel I need with all the documents.
 Here are the files:
% /MainFolder/Meta.tex
\startproject *
\usepath [{ Metadata }]
\environment Environment.tex
\stopproject

% /MainFolder/Metadata/Environment.tex
\startenvironment *
% Test if setup is applied.
\setupbodyfont[ebgaramond]
\stopenvironment

% /MainFolder/SubFolder/SubSubFolder/Doc.tex
\startproduct *
\project Meta
\startcomponent *
\startchapter[title={ Nested }]
\input tufte
\stopchapter
\stopcomponent
\stopproduct

Unfortunately the default font is applied and EB Garamond is not picked up
from the environment.

The question is:
** How can I use such a structure to share styles and layouts kept i the
'Metadata' folder and use htem in products that are ment to be complete
documents kept in the 'SubSubFolders'?

All the very best and htank you in advance for any clarifications...

Pawel

Did you try without the spaces? I’d assume ConTeXt will look for a 
folder " Metadata " and not "Metadata".
If this is just a template variable, you didn’t tell us about templating.

And then it matters from where you call your files (MainFolder, 
SubFolder or whereever).

> Hi,

To address the first question:
\usepath[{Metadata}] % Is the actual code - I put spaces for readability
reasons, which was a bad idea.

When I compile a document I switch to the SubSubFolder for the document
file is in there.

I will appriciate any further hints. Obvious htings are usually obvious for
people more experenced than I am with Context at this time.

Best,
Pawel

Also, I think you'll need to load the environment in your products as well. I don't think linking to the project is enough. (Check the mailing list, I have also asked similar questions already...)

Best,
Denis

In my experience this won’t work. ConTeXt searches from the current 
folder (you can configure search paths, but I gave up on that, and you’d 
have to do it in the called file).

It should be enough to call the environment from the project, but either 
the project or the environment isn’t found if the path doesn’t fit the 
call location.

Thank you for responses. While the ability to sort of inherit setups would
be very useful it looks like as of time of posting this message in December
2022 it is not possible.
As a workaround I will create a shead environment file and just bulk copy
it to subfolders. In case when I'll need to globally change some
configuration I can just replace the file.
I keep all my documents in GIT so the ability to reverte hte change is just
a command away.

Thanks for help.

Best,
Pawel

Another think you might want to consider: automatic local overrides. So, I’d copy everthing to a build folder, copy the environment from somewhere above unless the current folder contains a file with the same name.

You need

\usepath[../../Metadata]

because the search path is relative to the location of your document.
