Hi,I use jobs.file.run in t-filter to cache the results so that the external filters are only run if the content has changed. For some reason, this is not working but I cannot figure out why? Repeating the same steps as t-filter manually works, but something goes wrong when I use the t-filter interface.
I have narrowed this down to an example that does not use the filter module. It seems that something goes wrong when the first argument of the job.files.run contains a hyphen. Here is an example:
\enabletrackers[graphic.runfile]
\starttext
\startbuffer[test]
print("Output from lua")
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[list={test}, file={test.lua}, prefix=no]
\ctxlua{job.files.run("test.lua",
"lua test.lua > test-output.tex")}
\ReadFile{test-output.tex}
\savebuffer[list={test}, file={test-manual.lua}, prefix=no]
\ctxlua{job.files.run("test-manual.lua",
"lua test-manual.lua > test-manual-output.tex")}
\ReadFile{test-manual-output.tex}
\stoptext
Compiling this using `context test.tex | grep run` gives:

processing forced
If I readd the definition of jobs.file.run from grph-fil.lua (see attached
file), then the filename with hyphen also works correctly.
Compiling that with `context --mode=fix test.tex | grep run` gives graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test.lua', not processed graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test-manual.lua', not processed Not sure why that is the case. Aditya
