Hi all,
I've been trying to import all tex files and inside a given folder, the issue
I'm facing is that my lua call is not able to navigate folders: it only works
for files.
It's worth mentioning that compilation successfully completes as the document
is created, but I have no errors explaining me why it's not working as intended.
I've also opened a question on tex.stackexchange.
would you mind having a look at it ?

See comment on SX. Don't 'return' the nested call, and it works just fine.
function inputAll(dir)
for content in lfs.dir(dir) do
if ("." ~= content) and (".." ~= content) then
fullpath = dir .."/".. content
contentType = lfs.attributes(fullpath, "mode")
if isTexFile(content, contentType) then
tex.sprint("
\\
input{" .. fullpath .. "}")
elseif ("directory" == contentType) then
-- return
inputAll(fullpath)
end
end
end
end
yes, the return is quitter, but even then one can run into some nested
directory handle issue especially when one does things inside that loop
on one of the directories (maybe the \input results in new files there
or files get deleted and or ..) and one wants to have a predictable
sorted list i assume so i tend to collect first
