kvoptions v3.14 does not process parameters if style file in a higher level directory

[ICBrock]

As of Version 3.14, kvoption does not seem to process options passed to a style file, if the style file is in a higher level directory than the tex file.

The enclosed example works if kvoption_test.sty is in the same directory as kvoption_test.tex, but does not work if it is in a higher-level directory.

kvoption_test.zip

I have seen this version with he latest TeX Live updates under both macOS (TeX Live) and Windows (MikTeX).

I hope this can be fixed quickly, as I often use this feature to have a common style file for a series of documents.

Cheers
Ian

This is probably due to this latex issue: latex3/latex2e#422

[PhelypeOleinik]

@ICBrock As Ulrike says, this is due to latex3/latex2e#422, caused when fixing latex3/latex2e#414. LaTeX has always treated \usepackage{path/to/package} (or class) as one single file name, for most purposes, but some recent changes on how LaTeX handles file names have caused that to break. However that treatment is clearly wrong, as \usepackage{./path/to/package}, which resolves to the same location, would be seen as a different file.

I am working on a fix to this issue. Meanwhile you can use the workaround I proposed here: https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2020-November/046316.html

It should also work if you add something like this as a temporary work around at the begin of your style file:

\ExplSyntaxOn
 \tl_set_eq:cc{opt@\@currname.sty}{opt@kvoption_test.sty}
\ExplSyntaxOff

Hi Ulrike et al., Many thanks for the rapid replies. The suggestion of adding your 3 lines to the style file works very nicely. Looking forward to a general fix. Best Regards Ian Ian C.
