In your case validformatpath is a subdirectory of $TMPDIR, under
/var/folders/. However, if your Mac is anything like mine, /var is
actually a symbolic link to /private/var, so that dir.current() reports
a path starting with /private and the test fails.
Yes, this is the setup here as well.
That was rhetorical :-) /var and /tmp (as well as /etc) have been
symbolic links for at least ten years, probably earlier.
You can work around that by setting TMPDIR to some other value, that
doesn’t start with /var -- and not /tmp either because that’s also a
symbolic link :-) It should work with a temporary directory in your
home folder. Can you try that?
This works. Thanks a lot (also to everyone else involved)!
Glad to hear that, and you’re welcome, but this should also be fixed
in ConTeXt -- Hans, can you do something about that? It should be
enough to resolve symbolic links on either sides of the test
dir.current() ~= validformatpath
I need to find a problematic mac ... I remember that Taco did some tests
recently so I'll ask him.
