Otared and Hans, thank you for your answers and Otared especially for your
sympathy! :-)
In the meantime I could get rid of "! Emergency stop" and "*" by changing
a \def-command which calls a luacode subprogram; see further down in my MWE.
My program run now looks essentially better, but
"--directives="system.showerror"
and "-status.html" still report an error: "! Undefined control
sequence"
without telling which control sequence is undefined. How reliable is this error
message? I don't know of control sequences in luacode or what does this error
message
mean?
Here is a MWE which shows my program structure. Sorry, this MWE works really :-)
During my attempts to find the error I got for a short time the message:
"Invalid
\starttext ... \stoptext structure" which I don't understand.
--- MWE
---
\def\projectpath{/home/sam/trip-2019/}
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
u = userdata
function u.table_save ( tab, file )
local tab = tab
local file = file
dofile ("table_save_u_table_load.lua")
table.save(tab, file)
end
function u.Init ( col )
local col = col
local ppth = tokens.getters.macro("projectpath")
local xO = tokens.getters.macro("xO")
local yO = tokens.getters.macro("yO")
local I = {} -- Table of initial values
I ["projectpath"] = ppth
I ["column"] = {}
I ["column"][col] = {}
I ["column"][col]["layerpos"] = {}
I ["column"][col]["layerpos"] ["xO"] = xO
I ["column"][col]["layerpos"] ["yO"] = yO
u.table_save(I,"I-Table.lua")
end
\stopluacode
%\def\Init #1 {\ctxlua {u.Init ([==[#1]==]) }}% --the blanks produced my "!
Emergency stop"
\def\Init#1{\ctxlua{u.Init([==[#1]==])}}% --in this form the command
works
\starttext
\def\Column{A}%
\def\xO{0}% in pt
\def\yO{20}% in pt
\Init{\Column}%%
\stoptext
---
For those possibly interested in running this MWE I append
"table_save_u_table_load.lua",
a lua program to save and reload lua tables, found in the lua homepage. Anyway,
the
resulting flattened table "I" is here:
return {
-- Table: {1}
{
["column"]={2},
["projectpath"]="/home/sam/trip-2019/",
},
-- Table: {2}
{
["A"]={3},
},
-- Table: {3}
{
["layerpos"]={4},
},
-- Table: {4}
{
["yO"]="20",
["xO"]="0",
},
}
I think nobody will be able to help me in this case, I myself have to try again
and
again to finally find the error. If so, this would be the nicest christmas gift
to me :-)
Best regards,
Rudolf

Re: [NTG-context] "error not related to input file"
Hi, Since I have also suffered somewhat from the cryptic (and often useless…) error messages, I understand your frustration :-) Now, maybe if you do context --directives="system.showerror" myfile.tex then you get a file named « myfile-status.html » which is more helpful.
