issue with minted and LuaLaTeX

Question

The following document test.tex compiles with both pdflatex --shell-escape test.tex and xelatex --shell-escape test.tex, but not lualatex --shell-escape test.tex (from a fully updated MikTeX distribution on Windows).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}{python}
def f(x):
return x**2
\end{minted}
\end{document}

The error given is ! Package minted Error: Cannot find Pygments style default.

The lualatex version is 1.15.1. The document does however compile with lualatex under an Ubuntu texlive that has lualatex version 1.14.0. A similar issue was reported in this question related to \write18, but that was from 2016 and should be fixed by minted automatically loading shellesc. I don't know if updates to the kernel, lualatex, or minted are at fault (or if it is my system). Any help finding the issue would be appreciated. Log file is below.

This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.15.1 (MiKTeX 22.10) (format=lualatex 2022.11.2)  2 NOV 2022 13:07
 system commands enabled.

Answer 1

I am also able to reproduce the problem.

Fresh install of MiKTeX, Python 3.11 (added to path and usable from shell.

Tried with TeXMaker and TeXStudio, fresh installed also.

It works with pdflatex and Xelatex.

As a workaround, I'm using latexmk with -lualatex option and it works.
