I have an up to date MikTex distribution.
Roughly following Trouble making a glossary, I have the following code in test.tex

documentclass{article}



usepackage{shellesc}

usepackage[acronym,nomain,toc,automake]{glossaries-extra}



setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short}



loadglsentries{glosario}



makeglossaries



begin{document}

First use: gls{CCTV}. Next use: gls{CCTV}.

printglossary[type=acronymtype]

end{document}

and glosario.tex containing

newacronym{CCTV}{CCTV}{Closed Circuit Television}

This works with pdflatex -shell-escape test.tex, however, when I use lualatex -shell-escape test.tex, the entries are not found. This is the output

This is LuaTeX, Version 1.09.0 (MiKTeX 2.9.6930 64-bit)

 system commands enabled.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

The problem is that with luatex (and the shellesc package) write18 is actually an immediatewrite18 (see the documentation of shellesc). And this means that the makeindex command is executed before the acn-file has been written and closed. This is imho a bug in glossaries and should be reported.

You can patch the command like this:

documentclass{article}



usepackage{shellesc}

usepackage[acronym,nomain,toc,automake]{glossaries-extra}



setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short}



loadglsentries{glosario}



makeglossaries



usepackage{etoolbox}

makeatletter

patchcmd@gls@automake{write18}{DelayedShellEscape}{}{fail}

makeatother

begin{document}



First use: gls{CCTV}. Next use: gls{CCTV}.

printglossary[type=acronymtype]

end{document}

This will also work with pdflatex. You don't need the --shell-escape option, makeindex is in the list of safe applications.

You need to use automake=immediate in this situation. (New to glossaries version 4.22 2019-01-06.) This executes the system command at the start of makeglossaries (before the glossary files are opened) using immediate. You will get a warning on the first LaTeX run when the files don't exist.

With automake=true (or simply automake), the system command is executed at the end of the document, but immediate can't be used in this case. Unlike indexes, glossaries may occur at the start of the document rather than the end, and it's possible that there are commands such as gls on the last page. The indexing performed by these commands can't use immediate as it can cause problems with the associated page number due to TeX's asynchronous output routine. If write18 is called with immediate in this case, there's a possibility that the system command may be called before the glossary files are complete.
