Hello Philip, I did not expect that the command line argument TEXNAME is interpreted as TeX, but simply as a path within the used file system (e.g. NTFS or ext4) where ~ is valid character.
So what I have expected was lualatex opening, reading, and processing the file provided via the TEXNAME argument. Thus, there shouldn't be a different behavior concerning the following two commands using different paths: lualatex "/home/matt/reports/test~report/report.tex" lualatex "/home/matt/reports/test-report/report.tex" On 26.11.20 11:23, Philip Taylor wrote: > Would one not expect that, Matthias ?
