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
