LuaLaTeX compiler support

[starlinq]

FEATURE request: It would be really nice if the extension could support a lualatex compiler which becomes more popular nowdays!

Can you share a basic document written to be compiled in lualatex? Then I can work on adding support for it. I dont imagine it would be a difficult feature to implement.

% !TeX program = lualatex

% compile under Windows with command: % lualatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{luacode}

\begin{document} A random number: \begin{luacode} tex.print(math.random()) \end{luacode} \end{document}

If you could install and test the update (from url) that would be great. It contains support for lualatex - although for the moment it does not pass the special arguments -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape

My test is successful. However there is one annoying behavior. After recompile the editor always opens a new window of pdf viewer (SumatraPDF in my case).

Console output has no "copy" command so I had to use the "Developer Tools" to get the compiling output below.

marking as closed as the main issue has been resolved. The issue with the pdf viewer is probably best opened as separate - though I am not sure how to sort that out.
