Support addtoluatexpath package

[kalekje]

When entering a command, I see a nice list of suggested commands from packages (see image). I use shared sty and cls files (on a network drive) and would like to have the commands defined in these files appear in the drop-down code completion list. Any insight on how to get this working?

How does LaTeX know where these files are? TeXiFy will check TEXINPUTS, for example.

@PHPirates hey thanks for the follow-up!

I use a package that I wrote called addtoluatexpath, which adds paths to \input@path during runtime, i.e. the path where my shared sty and cls files reside.

FWIW, I prefer not to modify the TEXINPUTS variable as I like to utilize the shared template sty and cls files while writing a report (and modify that master template files if need be), and then once the report is done, I copy the template files over to the project dir (to make a standalone folder). I believe if I modify TEXINPUTS, this workflow could get sticky. (I hope this makes sense). Open to other ideas, though.

Then TeXiFy should simply look up all the \addtoluatexpath commands and add those paths to the paths to search. That should be relatively easy, it will be more tricky to handle the case of two sty files with the same name in different locations that are included with different \addtoluatexpath commands in different file sets, so let's ignore that edge case for now.

I indeed don't understand, when you copy the template files to the project then you would need to remove the \addtoluatexpath commands to make sure it uses the local ones? So that would be similar to setting texinputs in the run configuration.
Not sure if setting texinputs works for lua though.

That would be great. I agree that ignoring the edge cases should be fine, the document author should know to avoid name conflicts.

And yes, I basically do this:

\RequirePackage[S:/SharedLatexTemplateFilesOnNetworkDrive]{addtoluatexpath} % use this while editing the document
% \RequirePackage[TemplateFiles]{addtoluatexpath} % this is commented out while working on the document, but "SharedLatexTemplateFilesOnNetworkDrive" is copied over to the local folder "TemplateFiles", the above line is commented out, and this line is activated for "freezing" the template files into the project folder

AFAIK, settings texinputs should be avoided for luatex? I'm not too privy on that, though.

The two commands that would be chechked are:

\RequirePackage[path1,path2]{addtoluatexpath} and \addtoluatexpath{path1,path2}, where the paths can be absolute or local
