Perfect. This works for me now.

Closing as fixed.

This is still the same with Octave 6.0.90.

Hmm, I just assumed that those were classdef .m files.  So instead, what happens when we really do have a classdef .m file?  If there is something simple like


classdef myclass
end


in a file called myclass.m in the path, what does "which myclass" report?

Running online, I get


inputParser is a built-in method  % inputParser constructor


containers.Map says the same thing.

What does Matlab display for


which inputParser


?

Does it just show the path to the .m file (I assume there is one) or does it also print a message like Octave does with something like "inputParser is the classdef file found in:..."?

+1 I saw this problem as well.

Also of note:


>> which inputParser
'inputParser' is a built-in function

>> __which__ inputParser
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    name = inputParser
    file =
    type = built-in function

>> file_in_loadpath inputParser.m
ans = C:\Octave\4.2.0\share\octave\4.2.0\m\general\inputParser.m

This probably hints at somethin deeper, but which() returns the wrong answer for a classdef file like inputParser.


octave:1> which inputParser
'inputParser' is a built-in function
