Error in mata when invoking collect export

[Joakim Hveem]

I have been using collect export for a while now, but today my previous collect export command throws me a strange error. From the error tracing:

    - if "`builder'" == "" {
    = if "" == "" {
    - sreturn local collection `"`name'"'
    = sreturn local collection `"T1"'
    - sreturn local filename `"`file'"'
    = sreturn local filename `"T1.xlsx"'
    - }
    - mata: (void) pathresolve(pwd(), `"`file'"', "path")
    = mata: (void) pathresolve(pwd(), `"T1.xlsx"', "path")
Java installation not found
          _pathresolve():  9904  Stata returned error
           pathresolve():     -  function returned error
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- end collect.collect__export ---
    exit
    }
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- end collect ---
r(9904);

end of do-file

r(9904);

So the command pathresolve() in mata is the problem here. It complains about me not having Java, but I have never had Java and I have never experienced any problem with collect export before.
I have no idea of how to solve this.

So, that was solved by updating Stata

While you may not have installed Java for your use, Stata makes use of Java internally and installs (and updates as needed) a copy of Java in (on macOS at least) a subdirectory of the directory containing the Stata application.

Thank you for updating Statalist with the resolution of your problem.
