LuaSSEQ problem

Question

I am trying to compile a Lualatex file using the luasseq package

My minimum working example is

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luasseq}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

When I run 'lualatex' on this it simply stops with a command window expecting me to type something in:

(/usr/local/apps/texlive2011/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/libraries/decorations/p
gflibrarydecorations.shapes.code.tex))
lua> 

If I control-D (really all I can do)

! LuaTeX error <\directlua >:1: attempt to call global 'sseq_set_defaults' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
    <\directlua >:1: in main chunk.
l.332 \directlua0{sseq_set_defaults()}

Unsure what the problem is!

Answer 1

This seems to be linked to kpse.find_file not finding luasseq.lua and not complaining about it making the lua chunck keeping the focus forever.

See for example:

\documentclass{standalone}
\directlua0{dofile(kpse.find_file("luasseq.lua"))}
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}

A fix is to add the an explicit file type to kpse.find_file:

\documentclass{standalone}
\directlua0{dofile(kpse.find_file("luasseq.lua",'lua'))}
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}

You can locally edit your luasseq.sty, line 47.
