Compatibility between LuaLaTeX and the transparent package

If I run the example below with LuaLaTeX, the transparent package doesn't load with the error: Package transparent Warning: Your pdfTeX version does not support color stacks.
(a pretty clear error message)
documentclassminimal
usepackagetransparent
begindocument
transparent0.5Ciao
enddocument
I have a bunch of images generated by Inkscape which contain the transparent
command, and at the moment I simply defined an empty transparent
command to avoid the error, but I'd like to know if there's a better workaround to maintain the transparency.

You should not use minimal
(see Why should the minimal class be avoided?).
Two alternatives:
standalone
documentclassstandalone
usepackagetransparent
begindocument
transparent0.5Ciao
enddocumentarticle
with theluatex85
package:RequirePackageluatex85
documentclassarticle
usepackagetransparent
begindocument
transparent0.5Ciao
enddocument
Thank you, but the complete document is based on another class,toptesi
, which I think is based on the classreport
. Adding theluatex85
package in this case doesn't remove the error.

@MassimoOrtolano For me, it does (add the luatex85 package, remove auxiliary files, recompile twice). I'm on TL2018 with LuaLaTeX 1.07.

Ah, yes, with the MWE it works but not with the full document. I gotta go now, but I'll investigate more later on.

@MassimoOrtolano Well, I just tried with toptesi and the procedure I described does work on an MWE with that class.

@MassimoOrtolano You're welcome. Yes, it's good that pdfx removes that, because in PDF/X transparency is unsupported.
